The lower height also means the stairwell lacks an intermediate landing on the lower deck. | The external appearance of the ''Super-Lo'' buses is derived from the Enviro500 MMC facelift model introduced to the worldwide market the previous year, with rounded top front and rear edges.

GO Transit 8300-8337 are Alexander Dennis Enviro500 buses built and delivered in 2016. These are the first of their kind for GO Transit and any transit agency. With a height of 12.8 feet (3.9 metres), the SuperLo double decker is able to fit into more GO terminals such as Union Station GO Bus Terminal and York Mills GO Bus Terminal. In addition, they are also GO Transit's first double decker buses with a length of 45 feet (13.8 metres), the same as their MCI fleet, and are also their first double deckers with luggage carriers integrated at the back of the bus.
The external appearance of the Super-Lo buses is derived from the Enviro500 MMC facelift model introduced to the worldwide market the previous year, with rounded top front and rear edges. As with all buses ordered since 2014, they feature GO Transit's two-tone green livery and the latest interior colour scheme, including pale green seats, off-white carpeted ceiling, and ocher back wall. Seating, though, is different from the Go-Anywhere model in that the high-back seating used on the upper deck is now also found on much of the lower deck, replacing the low-back seats in all places except for the wheelchair-accessible seating area, which use foldable bench-type seats. The lower height also means the stairwell lacks an intermediate landing on the lower deck.
There are power outlets at selected seats and four LCD screens which integrate with the INIT CAD/AVL system to display route information and upcoming stops. The LCD screens are larger than those on the Go-Anywhere buses, and there is only one LED sign, housed at the front of the lower deck adjacent to the doorway; there is no LED sign on the upper deck. Also, the exterior destination sign now use Luminator Spectrum full-colour displays, although route exposures are still displayed in amber. (GO has previously experienced with displaying special messages in colour, though this has been discontinued.)
The driver's area, especially the dashboard, has been modified to accommodate the newer chassis, which is the first to be largely manufactured locally in a newly-established Alexander Dennis facility in Vaughan. Notably, the instrument panel has been changed and is now similar to the global model, with fewer analog gauges, but includes an analog tachometer.
These buses are based mostly out of Steeprock and Streetsville garages, and can normally be found on routes 12, 15, 16, 18, 21H, 25, 29, 40, and 47 and occasionally on 45, 46, 48, 51, 52, 93, and 96.
