Seeking new buses after provincial funding for such purchases was cut
off in 1996, GO Transit twice turned to the used bus market in the late
'90s, first in 1997 for 15 units, and then in 1998 for another 12 which
came from the Antelope Valley Transit Authority in Lancaster,
California. These MCI 102C3 units, made in 1993 and numbered 1520-31,
lasted for ten years with GO Transit before being retired.
In
the photo above, GO's 1530 is seen southbound on McCowan Rd. at Hwy.
401 in Toronto on August 3, 2007. After its retirement, 1530 was
donated by GO to Centennial College's School of Transportation.
