GO Transit 2008-2017
GO Transit 2008-2017 were OBI 05.501 buses built in June 2001. These buses are suburban Orion Vs and are not equipped with rear doors. This series of buses were refurbished in 2008.
All models are 40 feet in length with seating for 47 individuals. All 05.501s of this series are equipped with wheelchair lifts and have two wheelchair positions. 2008-2017, along with the rest of GO Transit's Orion fleet, have coach-like seating, but only half the bus has forward-facing seats. All seats in the front half of the bus are horizontal, with two poles that feature stop-request buttons. The forward-facing seats have luggage compartments above the seats, along with adjustable lights. The horizontal seats have lights, but are not adjustable. Unlike GO Transit 2000-2007, these buses are equipped with Luminator Horizon destination signs.
All even-numbered buses in this series were the first retired; retired in the middle of November 2009 at Newmarket GO Garage, along with buses 2003-2007. In April 2010, buses 2009, 2013 and 2017 were retired, while 2011 and 2015 retired in April 2011.
