Volkswagen vs GO Bus (Remastered)

AURORA, ONTARIO (September 24, 2007). An errant Volkswagen made an illegal left turn into the path of a GO Transit bus, north of Toronto, and it didn't end well for the Volkswagen.

The bus is (or was) a 2004 Orion V Suburban, working route 65 / 68 Toronto Union Station - Newmarket - Barrie via Highway 11. fleet number 2024 (now retired, sadly).

The collision happened as the bus was turning right onto northbound Yonge Street from westbound Wellington Street in Aurora.

The Volkswagen was turning left from eastbound Wellington onto northbound Yonge, facing a permissive green.

I was a GO bus driver working out of Newmarket garage at the time. Just by chance, I had happened to hang the video camera (my own) behind me when I started that trip at Toronto Union. GO buses didn't have dashcams at the time.

I left GO in 2017 and now drive a bus at one of the larger theme parks in Orlando, Florida (not the rat trap).

The camera is a Digital VHS camcorder.

I remastered the original video and re-uploaded it on September 26, 2025.
