Fleet
The Metro Rapid Fleet consists exclusively of Low Floor buses manufactured by both North American Bus Industries, and New Flyer. Buses include: 40-foot New Flyer buses (numbered 5300-5500), 40-foot NABI buses (numbered 7000-7999), 45-foot NABI Metro 45Cs (numbered 8000-8099), and 60-foot articulated buses, the NABI 60-BRT (9200-9399, 9500-9599). 40-foot buses are mainly used, but some routes use high capacity vehicles (720, 733, 754, 761). In June 2012, Metro removed the 60-foot NABI articulated buses on Metro Rapid Lines: 710, 728, 740, 757, & 760. Smaller, 40 foot NABI buses are now being used on those routes. The 60-foot articulated buses were transferred to several Metro Local lines such as: Line 40, Line 66 & Line 207.

“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”

For so appears this fleet majestical.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
