D. DeLarge Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 McCoy Bus Service 404 (MCI 102A3) is ex GO 1513. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Aquarius Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 York Region Police may have aquired one of the ex-GO C3 as I saw on Hwy 400 last night.Just saw it this morning at SN Diesel, indeed YRP acquired one of the ex-GO C3. It may be ex-1531 as it was there a month ago, all white! Sorry for the late reply, but I recall somewhere stating that GO 1531 is Can-Ar property? I added the information to the wiki some time ago, and I remember reading about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 And a shot of Ex-GO #1448 at the Buchart Gardens, Brentwoood Bay, BC (Part of greater Victoria). I believe a much better image of this same bus has been posted on the board somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 McCoy Bus Service 404 (MCI 102A3) is ex GO 1513. How did you find that out? They don't give rosters out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. DeLarge Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 How did you find that out? They don't give rosters out. Having a very close look at where the old GO numbers were above the windshield. Under ideal conditions, you can see the reflection of the old GO number. Got a funny look from the driver though :angry: Would appreciate it if you or others that frequently encounter McCoy buses can check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Aquarius Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Whoa, I forgot to mention, a few weeks ago I saw an Ex-GO 102A2 at York University. It was completely repainted, but retained the rollsign and part of the front fleet number (14**). Unfortunately, it had left by the time I got off my bus, so I couldn't get a closer look.

Michel Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 There's some sort of Shuttle Service called "Ottawa South Mountain" running ex-GO Transit 102A2's. I can't seem to find any information regarding this company but I saw one of their buses today near the Ottawa Airport heading down Mitch Owens drive. It had a run number box in the winshield like a standard transit bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a run number box in the winshield like a standard transit bus. Saw the same bus (painted red) today on the Mackenzie King Bridge. It is ex-GO # 1424. This company now has a website up with lots of info - www.smtntransit.com I also saw another ex-GO 102A2 painted blue parked downtown that I thought belongs to this company but their website indicates the second bus is an MC-9.

D. DeLarge Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 A few weeks ago I spotted what looked like a City of Toronto 102A2 in a city lot along Hwy 427 near Pearson, could be an ex GO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmc12 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah, but it's decalled already into YRP. And here's what it looks like, for those interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Was down in Montreal last week, I saw an A2, all white with rectangle LED tailight. But the front door was giveaway as it has a sedan door rather the plug door. Wasn't too sure if that's an ex-GO or not as they are not many A2's were build. No photos, sorry.

general682002 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Saw another one at Hwy 401 heading westbound, definately ex-GO! It has a blue body side and a white rear cap with all silver side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Not exactly a Coach, but last month some friends of mine and I found Ex-GO Transit D40S #1908 in a scrapyard in Winnipeg. Can't seem to find my image of that bus at the moment but when I do, I will post it here if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Spotted an ex-GO A2 belonging to Cox Bus Lines at the coach park by the Sky Dome. From the outline of the numbers, the bus appears to be 1457. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. McConnell Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Here's New York Airport Service #147, an ex-GO MCI A-Series (the imprint of the GO logo could be seen on the front, although not very well in this photo.) Quite ironically it carries an adwrap for JetBlue Airways, advertising their service to be "more than just a bus with wings." Anyone know the former GO number?
