Notes: These units originate from the 1997 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) order, under which WMATA initially planned to purchase 412 buses. However, due to funding constraints, only 212 units were acquired. The remaining 200 buses were sold by Orion to various operators. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) purchased 50 of these units, allocating 44 to Green Bus Lines and six to Queens Surface Corporation. Subsequently, Queens Surface exchanged some of its buses with Green Bus Lines, resulting in Green Bus Lines ultimately acquiring all 50 units. These buses were later inherited by the MTA Bus Company following its acquisition of Green Bus Lines in 2006.
