GO Transit - Kitchener Line - Interior

December 18, 2011. Interior of second train from Guelph Central GO Station to Kitchener GO Station. This style of bi-level commuter train was designed by Bombardier Transportation for GO (Government of Ontario) Transit in the 1970s, and is widely used in metropolitan areas throughout North America. The cars are actually tri-level if you include the passenger space available on the split-level approach to the upper deck at the ends of each car.
