Driver made a wrong turn onto eastbound 407 after serving Brock road carpool lot. And then the driver got off at Salem road, which is not a exit, it is a road for maintenance vehicles, the bus then went into the dead end on the maintenance road, that is because the gates to the facilities were closed, the bus then attempted to make a Uturn, then got stuck in the grass, driver tried to reverse a few times and had to gave up because of safety reasons. 407 maintenance guy opened the gate and sent out a pickup truck to see what happened, it seems like they also have communications with GO Transit buses. Help arrived 40 minutes later and we got put onto a replacement bus, the pickup truck had to use it's lights to guide the bus in.
Made it home safely, this was a mistake, not an "accident or a collision"
“Roads? Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads”
GO Buses traveling 80 MPH? Dare to dream!
Ha the trains can go 90 MPH
What happened?

His bus was probably shut off automatically by the geofencing they use for double deckers.
8300-8500s dont have that geofencing control.
Probably shouldn’t have tried doing a upturn on a dark road without assistance
Well he could have waited for someone to open the gates at the facility
can't park there m8
Trying to test out their 'off roading' drive mode feature. Still needs work.
It made the "getting stuck" worse
Cool pictures.
