GO Transit Bus Driver: "I see you've got a big one today!"

NEWMARKET, ONTARIO (October 5, 2005): So I was driving my bus through Newmarket, enroute from Barrie down to Toronto, when a female driver who is no longer with GO but is nevertheless legendary to the North Corridor drivers who have been around for a while, commented on the fact that a driver who would normally be driving a city transit-type bus (an Orion V) was today driving an MCI D4500 highway coach.

I am also driving a D45 (brand new!)

The angle isn't the best, but you get a view of a part of Newmarket that has changed significantly in the past nearly-two-decades.
