Between 2014 and 2015, Academy Express received roughly 28 ex-Go Transit MCI buses. America's Transportation aka Safeguard America, a company contracted by Miami-Dade, received 9 of them. Monsey Tours has bought at least one. Here are their new and old numbers, with license plates (if possible) and VIN numbers. If anyone can back up or correct this information, it would be great. A lot of this info is based on photos, running license plates through autocheck for VIN, and confirming these based on a couple of documents from WTAC, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Commission, who keeps track of various DC carriers. http://www.wmatc.gov/ Academy Express Current Former License Plate VIN 1901 Ex-GO Transit #2149 AR162H 1M8PDMRA93P055758 1902 Ex-GO Transit #2153 AR163H 1M8PDMRA63P055961 1903 Ex-GO Transit #2157 AR164H 1M8PDMRA73P055967 1904 Ex-GO Transit #2159 AR907G 1M8PDMRA13P056077 1905 Ex-GO Transit #2165 AS764A 1M8PDMRA73P056083 1906 Ex-GO Transit #2172 AR462H 1M8PDMRA43P056090 1907 Ex-GO Transit #2173 AR463H 1M8PDMRA63P056091 1908 Ex-GO Transit #2182 AR734H 1M8PDMRA53P056101 1909 Ex-GO Transit #2186 AR866H 1M8PDMRA64P056268 1910 Ex-GO Transit #2190 AR884E 1M8PDMRA84P056272 1911 Ex-GO Transit #2193 AS269A 1M8PDMRA34P056275 1912 Ex-GO Transit #2194 AS765A 1M8PDMRA54P056276 1913 Ex-GO Transit #2131 P826878 1M8PDMRA02P054836 1914 Ex-GO Transit #2132 P826900 1M8PDMRA22P054837 1915 Ex-GO Transit #2133 P826891 1M8PDMRA42P054838 1916 Ex-GO Transit #2134 P826898 1M8PDMRA62P054839 1917 Ex-GO Transit #2142 P826890 1M8PDMRA63P055555 1918 Ex-GO Transit #2145 P826899 1M8PDMRA13P055558 1919 Ex-GO Transit #2187 P826888 1M8PDMRA84P056269 1920 Ex-GO Transit #2197 P826897 1M8PDMRA04P056279 1921 Ex-GO Transit #2199 P826895 1M8PDMRA94P056281 1922 Ex-GO Transit #2203 P826894 1M8PDMRA64P056285 1923 Ex-GO Transit #2206 P826871 1M8PDMRA14P056288 1924 Ex-GO Transit #2209 P826896 1M8PDMRA14P056291 1925 Ex-GO Transit #2213 P826874 1M8PDMRA94P056295 Safeguard America-Miami-Dade 5772 Ex-GO Transit #2135 CTY-R34 1M8PDMRA22P054840 5773 Ex-GO Transit #2136 CTY-R35 1M8PDMRA22P054841 5776 Ex-GO Transit #2211 1M8PDMRA54P056293 Monsey Tours (New York) 7719 Ex-GO Transit #2126 50988PC 1M8PDMRA12P054831

Teams race using only public transit across Canada.

I'm starting a new thread for this company, since it's seperate from Cruise Victoria. This company is running the old BC Transit "Cruise Shuttle" that ran from 2013-2018. They're running single-door ex GO Transit double deckers (2008/09 Enviro500s). The GO Transit livery, destination signs are still on the buses, as well as the old fleet numbers. See this video for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVHjpCM3Bo4

I wasn't sure if this really belonged in the GRT Thread, but it also didn't pertain to the GTA specifically. Anyway, was anyone else aware that GO Transit with the introduction of route 24 is getting rid of the route 25A spur? This is the one that connects to the Milton GO Station for service along that line. Any thoughts on its death? Also, does anyone have any ridership statistics regarding the average daily usage of both Union Bound GO Trains daily? I estimate that it's around 200 people each way daily, and was wondering whether the increased flexibility with the new trips would have a positive effect on ridership for Kitchener, Guelph, and Acton. Finally, does anyone find it weird that the 30 is not going to be in service on weekends? The 25 isn't really useful in this scenario (it only stops at Square One), and it would make better connections into Toronto.

Since there is talk of expanding GO Trains into Niagara full time etc. I started this topic. Not much to say but here it is!

I see these havent been listed on Wiki. I spotted these two at the temporary terminal today.
