The first order is for 80 Metro Riders from GM Buses, which wants the vehicles delivered before the end of March. The Metro Riders will join 150 other midibuses in GM Buses' fleet which will face competition from United Transport International's Manchester Minibus operation, due to start in January.
London Buses is putting 25 Cummins 'B' Series-powered MCW Metrorider midibuses into service in the Kingston area this weekend. The buses will operate on the revised Kingston bus network, under contract to London Regional Transport by new London Buses' subsidiary Kingston Buses, and subsidiary Stanwell Bus Company, established for tendered routes in Hounslow, using the Westlink and South West Link fleetnames.
Urban minibuses are rare in Ireland. Dublin Bus uses five MCW Metroriders on Localink services in the suburbs of the city, and Bus Eireann's minibuses are used on school and other rural work.
