Unlike the other GO Transit sign sets, this special one piece sign was designed specifically for GO Transit's second hand MCI 102A3 and 102C3 buses that originally ran for Woodlands Express in California and Antelope Bus Lines in California respectfully. These second hand coaches did not have the split destination sign fixture like the rest of the fleet. This sign is dated November 10, 1998 and has 55 exposures, 13 fewer than the front signs for original GO Transit buses. Some of the short turn destinations and most of the destinations that applied to the local routes "Yonge C" and "Bayview" were left off this rollsign. Its sign tag and a photo of one of the buses that used these special rollsigns is shown below. |
