The first generation stood at a height of 4.3 metres, and second and third generations were built and acquired at even lower heights – in 20 at 4.15 and 3.9 metres, respectively – that allowed them to pass under lower bridges and trees and be used on additional routes. GO Transit began acquiring double-decker buses in 2007 to relieve crowding on some routes. Two of the coach buses are diesel-electric hybrid vehicles. The GO Transit bus fleet consists of 366 single-level coach buses and 139 double-decker buses. In 2000, GO Transit went beyond its existing train corridors and began service along Highway 407, linking York University to Oshawa, Mississauga and Oakville. The bus network started expanding beyond train lines, feeding rail service and serving communities beyond the reach of existing trains. In 1989, GO started running buses between outer train stations and Union at off-peak times when trains were not scheduled. While GO Transit started as a single train line in 1967, 15 buses were introduced on September 8, 1970, extending service beyond the original Lakeshore line to Hamilton and Oshawa, as well as providing service north to Newmarket and Barrie. In 2021, the system had a ridership of 4,600,100. GO Transit bus services are provided throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Older buses previously used by GO Transit.
