History
Design/Specifications
The SuperLo model was designed specifically to meet GO Transit's specifications. The lower height of 12.8 feet (3.9 metres) is able to fit into four GO terminals (Hamilton GO Centre, Union Station GO Bus Terminal, Yorkdale Bus Terminal and York Mills GO Bus Terminal) that other double decker buses were unable to. 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 compartments 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 are no LED signs on the upper deck. The exterior destination signs now use Luminator Spectrum full-colour displays, although route exposures are primarily displayed in amber. (GO has previously experimented with displaying special messages in colour, though this has largely been discontinued.)
The driver's area, especially the dashboard, has been modified to accommodate the newer chassis. Notably, the instrument panel has been changed and is now similar to the global model, with fewer analog gauges, but includes an analog tachometer.
