This listing includes vehicles purchased directly by the MVRTA, and does not include vehicles that may have been leased by the agency. Thanks to Mark Watson for providing background information on the disposition of the 701-706 series Orions.

If anyone knows and additional background of the MVRTA buses, please send me an email.

Thanks in advance for any help, and enjoy!
