The Ontario government is bringing two new fully electric zero-emission GO buses into service for the first time as part of its plan to support electric vehicles, reduce emissions and expand clean, green transit options across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Starting May 15, commuters on GO bus routes 19, 92, and 96B, will have the opportunity to travel on the zero-emission buses.
The buses will be recognized by their unique exterior, which features a lightning bolt.
Once onboard, commuters will experience a quieter ride and have access to USB chargers and seatbelts.
The new electric vehicle GO buses have been in the testing phase without passengers since December 2021.
As commuters travel on the new buses, the province will continue to evaluate feedback to help inform the potential future expansion of the program.
