GO Transit 1520-1531 are MCI 102C3s built in 1993, acquired from Antelope Valley Transit Authority in 1998. All models are 40 feet in length with seating for 47 individuals. They are not wheelchair accessible.
All 102C3s received by GO Transit contain washrooms but are locked to public use.
As these buses were originally used in the United States, displays such as the speedometer and cabin temperature display use the imperial system of measurement. Unlike other GO Transit buses that have a door control switch to the left-side of the driver, the switch is located on the right side near the fare calculator. Windshield fluid is dispensed from the windshield wiper device itself instead of from below the window on GO Transit's other MCIs. As well, 1520-1531 have minimal window tint.
Most GO Transit buses have a blue interior color scheme (other than the Prevosts and early Orions, which have a dark green scheme), however the 1520-1531 series has a grey color scheme instead.
These buses are the only buses in GO Transit operation that do not have a standard front-top destination sign. Instead, the destination sign is a small sign located above the driver at the top of the window.
They are expected to retire when 2354-2368 are delivered to GO Transit, which is estimated to be the end of March/beginning of April.
