  GO Transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GO buses are not double-decked (although a BC Transit bus was used in an experiment during May 2002), but they are also characterised by a green and white colour scheme.
GO Transit was created and funded by the provincial government in 1967 as Government of Ontario Transit (hence the acronym 'GO') and was financed entirely by the Province of Ontario until the end of 1997.
GO Transit transferred over to the municipal sector as an arm of the GTSB on August 7, 1999, thus completing the process that had begun with the funding change of 1998.

London did go to the Yukon for the gold rush, and his experiences in the frozen north show up in a lot of his fiction, so it's a nice commemorative attempt; let's say an A+ for effort.

Depending on when you go, you may find yourself meeting the curious stares of locals (it's in the heart of the produce district), or weaving among hipsters and other seekers of the best in dives.

The three East Bay light rail lines in our plan make up a logical network: one corridor all the way along the transit-dependent flatlands, another along the dense transition zone between flats and hills, and lines crossing to the shoreline at key points.
