Ottawa/CMEDIA: Two new fully electric zero-emission GO buses are being brought up into service by the Ontario government for the first time as part of its plan to reduce emissions and expand clean, green transit options across the Greater Golden Horseshoe, a news release said.
Being in the testing phase without passengers since December 2021, commuters who travel on these new electric vehicle GO buses are being asked by the province to give their feedback for evaluation.
“We’re building a strong electric vehicle supply chain, securing game changing investments in electric vehicles and battery manufacturing, and getting more electric vehicles on the road. The future is electric and we’re leading the charge,”said Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Starting May 15, commuters will have the opportunity to travel on the zero-emission buses on GO bus routes 19 (Mississauga/North York), 27 (Milton/North York), 92 (Oshawa/Yorkdale) and 96B (Oshawa/Finch Express).
A unique exterior featuring a lightning bolt would reportedly identify these buses.
