• During the year of 2000, WMATA ordered Orion V buses that were even longer in size than their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts. These buses originally contained light green Vultron Destination signs like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts. However, even though the 2000 Orion V buses had much more reliable and readable light green Vultron Destination signs unlike their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, the 2000 Orion V buses also had their Vultron destination signs replaced with new bright orange Twin Vision LED lights that could be read even more clearly and be even more reliable than their Vultron Destination Signs.


• Much like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses also featured Clever Devices inside them which announced the name of the Metrobus route they were operating on, name of the destination they were operating in the direction of, and name of the specific address/ intersection of the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station they were about to approach. The Clever Devices also announced the words, "Stop Requested" out loudly each time passengers rang the bell to alert the Metrobus operator that they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach. Like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses had their dark red, "Stop Requested" signs, on top of the front windows, at the center of the bus. The "Stop Requested" sign would light up/ glow to a bright neon red color each time passengers rang their bus bells. WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses have served at all of WMATA's Metrobus Divisions.


• Most of WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses have been retired/ phased out of service between the fall of 2016 and early 2018. Though WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses were older than WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer 2001-2002 buses, WMATA kept them in service much longer as many of WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses have reached their full capacity.


• WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses are now mainly housed in WMATA's Bladensburg, Landover, Southern Ave, Northern, Western, Shepherd Parkway, and Four Mile Run Metrobus Divisions as backups whenever WMATA's CNG fleet, Diesel Hybrid, or Electric buses have problems, or to meet heavy passenger demand during Weekday rush hour/ peak period times.


• Replaced the 1979 GMC RTSs.


• Last order of 40-ft high-floor buses for WMATA.


• Most retired, some units in reserve in case of shortage.


• Replaced by 2018 New Flyer XN40's


• Most back into service at Shepherd Parkway due to DE40LFA buses being moved to the newly open Cinder Bed Division.^{[citation needed]}

• WMATA's 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were the next set of Clean Natural Gas buses that WMATA ordered in 2004 after all of its 164 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were delivered to its Bladensburg Metrobus Division at the end of the year of 2003.


• WMATA's 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were initially all delivered to WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division between the beginning of 2005 and later throughout the years of 2005 and 2006, as WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division was the only WMATA Metrobus Division that was equipped with the necessary infrastructure to handle WMATA's CNG Metrobus fleet's fueling and maintenance requirements at the time, until WMATA's Four Mile Run Metrobus Division was finished being modified to handle WMATA's CNG Metrobus fleet during the end of 2005.


• To make room for these new 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses to be delivered to WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division, an even greater number of 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1997-2000 Orion V buses were transferred to other WMATA Metrobus Divisions such as Landover, Southeastern, Southern Ave, Northern, Western, Arlington, Montgomery, and Four Mile Run. A few of these buses still remained inside WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division's garage until the time they were retired. These buses would only be used as backup buses whenever WMATA's CNG buses had problems working, or during weekday rush hour/ peak period times to meet heavy passenger demand.


• All of WMATA's 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were originally painted the same way as their 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF counterparts. These buses contained the same picture of a light blue sky and dark brown trees with light green colored leaves painted on the sides of their top roofs. On the bottom of that picture on their sides, there was a white colored space that had the words, "THIS BUS IS RUNNING ON CLEAN NATURAL GAS", painted in black, italic print. The bottom of front and back sides of these buses contained the same painting as WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses. The 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses also had the back of their buses painted in the same blue color as WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses.


• WMATA's 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were repainted in WMATA's Metrobus Local and Metro Extra paint schemes similarly to the way that WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses have been repainted, between early 2011 and 2015.


• A few 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF and 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were transferred from WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division to WMATA's Four Mile Run Metrobus Division in Virginia once the facility was finished being modified to handle WMATA's CNG Metrobus fueling and maintenance requirements at the end of 2005. A majority of WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF and 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses have remained in and served Metrobus routes that operated out of WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division their entire lives.


• WMATA's 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses were shorter in length than WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses, but were still used interchangeably on routes that operated using WMATA's 40-foot sized buses.


• Being retired. At least 45 units retired. Some were replaced by the 2018 XN40s. Rest to be replaced by 2019 XN40s.

• Very first Diesel Hybrid buses that WMATA ordered


• WMATA's 2005-2006 New Flyer DE40LF Diesel Hybrid buses were mainly delivered to each of WMATA's Metrobus Divisions, such as Landover and Montgomery, which were not equipped with the proper fueling and maintenance equipment to handle WMATA's CNG fleet as part of WMATA's initiative to get rid of as many of its older diesel buses and operate newer bus models that emitted less pollution into the air/ were more environmentally friendly.


• WMATA's 2005 New Flyer DE40LF Diesel Hybrid buses were designed almost very similarly to WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses. Unlike WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses; however, WMATA's 2005-2006 New Flyer DE40LF Diesel Hybrid buses featured Orange display screens on the middle of the back of the Metrobus operator's seats to display the name of the address/ location of the next Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach. Additionally, WMATA's 2005-2006 New Flyer DE40LF Diesel Hybrid buses also featured circular blue cloth seats that had a white dit/ blue square design on them unlike the full square cloth that WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses contained with the same blue square and white dot design. WMATA's 2005-2006 New Flyer DE40LF Diesel Hybrid buses had exactly the same seats as WMATA's 2002-2003 Neoplan and 2005-2006 CNG Orion VII buses.

WMATA's 2006 New Flyer DE40LFR buses have not operated out of any other WMATA Metrobus Division other than the Landover and Montgomery Metrobus Divisions. Unlike, WMATA's 2005-2006 New Flyer DE40LF and 2006 D40LFR Diesel Hybrid buses, amost all of WMATA's 2006 New Flyer DE40LFR buses were painted in a unique gray color.

• WMATA's 1986-1987 Flxible B buses received a much more advanced upgrade from WMATA's 1978 Flxible New Looks buses.


• WMATA's 1986-1987 Flxible B buses were WMATA's very first buses to contain light green Vultron destination signs. Even though these signs were often unreliable and difficult to read, WMATA did not bother replacing its 1986-1987 Flxible B bus destination signs as its 1986-1987 Flxible B buses were its earliest Flxible buses to have been retired between the years of 2005 and 2006, which was a few years after WMATA's 1978 Flxible New Looks buses were retired in early to mid 2001.


• 8700–8799 & 8950–8975 were without wheelchair lifts.


• 8800–8922 were with wheelchair lifts.


• Only a handful were repainted. All units retained their original wraparound taillights.

WMATA's 1988 Flxible B buses contained light green Vultron destination signs similarly to their 1986-1987 Flxible B counterparts. Even though these signs were offen unreliable and difficult to read, WMATA did not bother replacing its 1988 Flxible B bus destination signs as its 1988 Flxible B buses were among its earliest Flxible buses to have been retired in 2006, which was only a few years after WMATA's 1978 Flxible New Looks buses were retired in early to mid 2001.

• 9201–9239 were with wheelchair lifts.


• 9251–9289 were without wheelchair lifts.


• All units retained their original wraparound taillights throughout their entire service lives.

• WMATA's 1989 Flxible B buses also contained light green Vultron Destination signs similarly to its 1986-1988 Flxible B counterparts. Even though these signs were often unreliable and difficult to read, WMATA did not bother replacing these bus' destination signs as they were some of WMATA's earliest Flxible buses to have been retired in 2006, which was only a few years after WMATA's 1978 Flxible New Looks buses were retired in early to mid 2001.


• These buses were 30ft.


• Only a portion were repainted and all units retained their original wraparound taillights.

• Cummins L10


• Voith D863.2

• Were with wheelchair lifts.


• 40 ft buses.


• Replaced by the 2009-2010 New Flyer buses


• WMATA's 1990 Flxible B Models originally consisted of light Green Vultron destination signs much like its 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus, 1997-2000 Orion V, and 2000 Orion VI buses. These destination signs were replaced on most of WMATA's 1990 Flxible B buses between the years of 2003 and 2006, with bright orange Twin Vision LED lights as the light green Vultron destination signs were unreliable and very difficult to read. There were still; however, quite a few 1990 Flxible B models that have managed to keep their light green colored Vultron signs all through until the 1990 Flxible B models were retired from WMATA's revenue service between late 2009 and early 2011.


• WMATA's Flxible B buses originally were painted with an arrow that consisted of dark red coloring on its top half and very dark blue coloring on its bottom half.


• WMATA's Flxible B buses originally came with the original wraparound taillights, but most were changed to round LED taillights in the middle of their service lives making them the first buses to have LED brake lights.


• Some units that had LED brake lights were also painted in the original 2nd generation scheme that is mentioned above while others retained their original wraparound taillights being in the repainted 3rd generation scheme.


• The word, "metrobus" was then painted in very small italic print with the word, "metro" in black paint and "bus" in white paint. The same Metrobus logo was painted on the front of these buses as well. The bottom and back of these buses, on the other hand, were painted in a dark black color.


• These buses previously only had one solid dark red line on top and one solid dark blue line on the bottom of their front sides.


• These buses then had the word, "Flxible painted in small cursive white print" on both the front and back of the buses.


• 9343 was painted silver to commemorate Metrobus's 25th anniversary, but was ultimately repainted in to the "third scheme."


• Between 2001 and 2006, WMATA repainted most of its 1990-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, and 1995 Flxible E bus' sides with two solid red lines. These red lines were brighter compared to the WMATA's previous red lines.


• WMATA's Flxible B buses originally came with darker painted steel wheels.


• WMATA got rid of the dark red and dark blue arrow that had long been part of its Flxible buses and replaced it with two solid red lines that are about half in length. The words, "metro" and "bus", on the other hand, were repainted in a light blue colored print rather than the former black and white paint that WMATA used.


• The word, "metro" was painted in lighter blue while the word, "bus" was painted in an even lighter blue print color. Both words were painted by WMATA in much larger print than its previous Metrobus print. The Metrobus Logos on WMATA's Flxible buses were originally painted in black but were repainted in blue in the newly painted Flxible buses. The back and bottom of these buses were originally painted in black but were repainted in blue in the newly painted Flxible models.


• However; only a handful of WMATA's Flxible bus models, before the 1990 Flxible B, model, were repainted, and they all retained their original wraparound taillights meaning that their lights were conventional bulb throughout all their service lives.

• Were without wheelchair lifts.


• All units retained their original wraparound taillights.


• 40 ft buses.

• 9485, 9493 & 9497 were sold to TheBus keeping the same numbers.


• 9489 had the round LED brake lights still in the 2nd generation scheme.


• 9490 was repainted in the 3rd generation scheme, but retained its original wraparound taillights.

• Detroit Diesel Series 50 EGR


• Voith D863.3E

• Originally had Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines & Allison HTB-748 transmissions.


• WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses were the very first Orion V buses that WMATA had ordered


• WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses were initially painted the same way as WMATA's 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses. However; WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses were repainted exactly the same way as WMATA's 1990-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses between the years of 2001 and 2006.


• WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses also featured light green Vultron Destination Signs much like their 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus, 1997-2000 Orion V, and 2000 Orion VI counterparts. Even though the light green Vultron Destination Signs on WMATA's 1992 Orion V were often unreliable and difficult to read, WMATA did not bother replacing these destination signs as WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses were among the earliest Orion V buses to be completely retired, in 2008. All of WMATA's future 1997-2000 Orion V buses have been in service for much longer until at least 2015, though many of them were retired eventually between 2016 and 2017.


• WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses originally came with conventional bulb taillights as well as darker painted steel wheels.


• 9619 was the first to be painted in the 3rd generation scheme as a prototype in late 1996, having LED taillights.


• 4 units were sold to TheBus and were renumbered 8033–8036 around 2006–2007.

• Cummins L10


• Voith D863.3

• 9704 was retained and painted into Metro's roadeo bus.


• WMATA's 1993 Flxible D buses featured upgraded air conditioning units that its 1986-1991 Flxible B counterparts did not have.


• WMATA's 1993 Flxible D buses were initially painted exactly the same way as WMATA's 1986-1991 Flxible B bus models. However, like the 1990 and 1991 Flxible B models, many the 1993 Flxible D buses were repainted between the years of 2001 and 2006.


• Many of WMATA's 1993 Flxible D buses, similarly to the 1990 and 1991 Flxible B model counterparts, have had their original light green colored Vultron destination signs replaced with bright Orange Twin Vision LED lights as the Vultron destination signs were unreliable and very difficult to read.


• There were still a few 1993 Flxible D models WMATA has operated up to 2009 which have neither had their Vultron destination signs replaced with the Twin Vision LED lights, nor been repainted.


• All WMATA 1993 Flxible Metro-Ds originally came with the original wraparound taillights just like all the 1986-1991 Flxible Metro-Bs, but 9773 was the only one to retain these original wraparound taillights after getting repainted and rehabbed.

• Cummins M11E (9801–9819)


• Detroit Diesel Series 50 (9820–9835)


• Voith D863.3

• 9801–9819 were originally powered by Cummins L10 engines.


• WMATA's 1994 Flxible D models also featured air conditioning units on top just like their 1993 Flxible D counterparts.


• WMATA's 1994 Flxible D buses were initially painted the same way as their 1986-1991 Flxible B and 1993 Flxible D counterparts.


• WMATA's 1994 Flxible D buses originally came with the original wraparound taillights, just like their 1986-1991 Flxible B and 1993 Flxible D counterparts, but all those 1994 Flxible D buses were rebuilt with newer LED taillights after getting repainted/rehabbed.


• WMATA's 1994 Flxible D buses were the last buses to come with the darker painted steel wheels.


• However, many of the 1994 Flxible D buses have been repainted the same way as their 1990-1991 Flxible B and 1993 Flxible D counterparts.


• Additionally, the 1994 Flxible D buses also initially had light green Vultron destination signs. Most of the 1994 Flxible D buses have had their original Vultron destination signs replaced with bright orange Twin Vision LED lights as the Vultron Destination signs were often unreliable and difficult to read.

• All of WMATA's 1995 Flxible E buses were initially painted the same way as their 1986-1991 Flxible B counterparts and 1993-1994 Flxible D counterparts. These buses were eventually repainted between 2001 and 2006 much like their 1990-1991 Flxible B and 1993-1994 Flxible D counterparts.


• All of WMATA's 1995 Flxible E buses originally came with the original wraparound taillights, just like their 1986-1991 Flxible B counterparts and 1993-1994 Flxible D counterparts. Most of their taillights have been changed to LED after being rebuilt, rehabbed, and repainted.


• WMATA's 1995 Flxible E buses were among the first to originally come with ALCOA Aluminum wheels, but after a few years these wheels got replaced with steel wheels.


• These buses also initially came with light green Vultron destination signs that were unreliable and difficult to read. Therefore, WMATA replaced most of its 1995 Flxible E bus destination signs with the brighter orange Twin Vision LED lights that were much more reliable and easy to read.


• While most of WMATA's 1995 Flxible E bus fleet were repainted and had their Vultron destination signs replaced by the bright orange Twin Vision LED destination signs, there were a few 1995 Flxible E buses that have managed to keep their original paint design and Vultron destination signs all through until being phased out around 2009 and 2010.


• The 1995 Flxible E buses were the very last Flxible buses ordered by WMATA before the Flxible Corporation filed for bankruptcy later on during the year of 1995.

• WMATA's 1999 Orion V buses also had Clever Devices installed in them similarly to their 1997-1998 Orion V counterparts, which announced the name of the bus routes they were operating on, name of the destination they were heading in the direction of, and name of the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station they were about to approach. Also, much like their 1997-1998 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 1999 Orion V buses also announced the words, "Stop Requested" out loudly each time passengers rang the bus bell to let Metrobus operators know they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station the buses were about to approach. WMATA's Red, "Stop Requested" signs were placed in the middle of the top black part of the front window of the bus, similarly to their 1997-1998 Orion V counterparts.


• WMATA's 1999 Orion V buses, also originally featured light green Vultron destinations similarly to their 1997-1998 Orion V counterparts. The 1999 Orion V buses also had their light green Vultron destination signs replaced with bright orange Twin Vision LED lights between the years of 2001 and 2006, as the Vultron Destination Signs were often unreliable and difficult to read.


• WMATA's 1999 Orion V buses originally came with ALCOA Aluminum wheels, just like their 40-ft counterparts, but were later replaced by steel wheels after a few years.


• The turn signals on WMATA's 1999 Orion V buses were originally conventional bulb, but were later LED after getting rehabbed.


• Some units were sold to Ride On and were retired in 2014.

• WMATA's 1999 Orion II buses were only put on WMATA's routes that had a very small passenger demand. Much like their 1997-2000 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 1999 Orion II buses also featured Clever Devices as well, which announced the name of the Metrobus route the bus was operating on, the name of the destination the bus was heading in the direction of, and the name of address/ intersection of the Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach. WMATA's Clever Devices also made the, "Stop Requested" announcement out loud, every time passengers rang the bus bell to let the Metrobus Operator know they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach.


• Much like their 1997-2000 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 1999 Orion II buses also contained light green Vultron destination signs. Even though these destination signs were often unreliable and difficult to read, WMATA did not bother replacing the destination signs on its 1999 Orion II buses as they were some of WMATA's earliest Orion buses, along with WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses, to be retired between 2008 and 2009.


• Two buses originally preserved but were scrapped around 2013–2014.

• WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses were the last buses that operated on pure diesel which WMATA has ordered before switching to Clean Natural Gas buses and Diesel Hybrid buses in its future bus models. Therefore, it is no surprise that WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses were WMATA's newest diesel buses.


• Unlike WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses and 1997-2000 Orion V buses which were all high floor buses, WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses were uniquely designed as low floor buses.


• Similarly to their 1997-2000 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses featured Clever Devices, which announced the name of the particular Metrobus route the buses were operating on, the name of the destinations they were operating in the direction of, and name of the specific address/ intersection of the next Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station they were about to approach. WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses also announced the words, "Stop Requested" out loudly each tine a passenger rang the bell to alert the Metrobus operators that they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach. Unlike, WMATA's 1997-2000 Orion V buses, WMATA's 2000 Orion Vi buses featured their dark red, "Stop Requested" sign that would glow in a bright red neon color every time a passenger rang the bell, on the middle of the wall of the back of the Metrobus operator's seat. WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses also initially contained light green Vultron destination signs like their 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus, and 1997-2000 Orion V counterparts. All of WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses had their light Green Vultron destination signs replaced by new bright orange Twin Vision LED lights even though their Vultron Destination signs were much more reliable than WMATA's previous Metrobus models. The Twin Vision LED lights were even more reliable and had much more clarity compared to the light green Vultron destination signs which were sometimes hard to read and unreliable.


• WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses were initially ordered by WMATA at the beginning of 2000 along with its 2000 Orion V buses. WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses were delivered to WMATA's Bladensburg, Landover, and Montgomery Metrobus Divisions in the summer of 2000 and finally put into service on WMATA's Metrobus Routes in September, 2000.


• However, WMATA transferred almost all of its 2000 Orion VI buses from its Bladensburg Division to its Landover, Montgomery, Southern Ave, Arlington, and Four Mile Run Metrobus Divisions between September, 2001 and throughout the year of 2002, to make room for WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF to be delivered to its Bladensburg Metrobus Division Lot. As of 2002, WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses have very little to no presence at all in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division, though WMATA did manage to keep much more of its 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1997-2000 Orion V buses as backup diesel buses that would be used to meet high passenger demand during weekday rush hour/ peak period times and also serve as backups whenever WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses had any problems working. Similarly to WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses, WMATA's 1992 Orion V buses have had very little to no presence in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division as they were sent to WMATA's Landover, Northern, Western, Southeastern, Southern Ave, Four Mile Run, Arlington, and Montgomery Metrobus Divisions before finally being retired in 2008.


• All of WMATA's 2000 Orion VI fleet were buses were suddenly retired altogether in Spring, 2012 after a series of fires occurred on a few of WMATA's 2000 Orion VI bus models in a span of five days.

• Originally had ZF 5HP600 transmissions.


• Cummins M11E


• Voith D864.3

• WMATA's 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses replaced WMATA's former 1983 MAN Articulated buses


• WMATA's 1995 NABI American Ikarus buses were initially painted in the same way as WMATA's 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, and 1995 Flxible E buses. However, WMATA's 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses were repainted the same way as WMATA's 1990-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, and 1995 Flxible E buses had been repainted, between the years of 2001 and 2006.


• Much like their 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1992 Orion V, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, 1997-2000 Orion V, and 2000 Orion VI counterparts, WMATA's 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses came with light green Vultron destination signs. However, between the years of 2001 and 2006, these signs were replaced on many of WMATA's 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses with bright orange Twin Vision LED lights as the light green Vultron Destination Signs were often unreliable and difficult to read.


• WMATA's 1995 NABI/American Ikarus buses were among the first to originally come with ALCOA Aluminum wheels, just like the 1995 Flxible E buses, but after a few years these wheels got replaced with steel wheels.


• Replaced by the 2008 NABI 60 BRT buses

• WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses were the very first WMATA buses to feature Clever Devices, which announced the name of the bus routes they were operating on, name of the destination they were heading in the direction of, and the names of the addresses of the next Metrobus Stop, or Metrorail Station they were about to approach. Also, the Clever Devices made the, "Stop Requested" announcements out loud, unlike WMATA's previous bus models which only sounded the bells every time passengers rang the bell to let the Metrobus operators know that they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station that the buses were about to approach. WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses also featured new darker red, "Stop Requested" signs at the center of the top of the bus driver's window, that would glow up much more brightly unlike WMATA's previous fleet.


• WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses initially came with light green Vultron destination signs, much like their 1986-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus counterparts. WMATA's 1991-1998 Orion V buses had their Vultron Destination signs replaced with bright Orange Twin Vision LED lights, similarly to WMATA's 1990-1991 Flxible B, 1993-1994 Flxible D, 1995 Flxible E, and 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses, between the years of 2001 and 2006, as the Vultron Destination signs were often unreliable and difficult to read. Unlike those buses, WMATA completely replaced all of WMATA's 1997-1998 Vultron Destination Signa with bright orange Twin Vision LED lights which were much more reliable and easier to read. Not surprisingly as a result, WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses remained in operation much longer than all of WMATA's Flxible fleet and 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses.


• WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses originally came with ALCOA Aluminum wheels, but were later replaced by steel wheels after a few years.


• The turn signals on WMATA's 1997-1998 Orion V buses were originally conventional bulb, but were later LED after getting rehabbed.


• Replaced by 2011–2016 New Flyer XDE40s, & NABI 42 BRTs.


• 4271 was repainted into the Metro 4th Generation paint scheme, similar to the Neoplan 4th generation paint scheme style, only used for rodeo purposes at Landover division.


• 4408 & 4412 are being used as training vehicles.

• Cummins Westport C Gas Plus (2300–2399 & 2401–2462)


• Doosan GK-12 (2463)


• John Deere 6081H (2464)


• Allison B400R

• 2460–2463 were originally powered by John Deere 6081H engines. 2460–2462 engines were changed to Cummins Westport C Gas Plus while 2463 was changed to a Doosan GK-12 engine.


• WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were the very first buses to run on Clean Natural Gas unlike all of WMATA's previous Metrobus fleet which have always operated on traditional diesel gas^[14]. WMATA ordered a total of 164 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses in September, 2001^[14]. The New Flyer C40LF buses were only delivered to WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division, since it was the only garage in WMATA's system that had enough room and the proper technology to have its maintenance facilities and fueling garages modified to be able to handle the CNG New Flyer C40LF special bus maintenance and fueling requirements^[14].


• WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses originally came with steel wheels, but were later changed to aluminum wheels after getting rehabbed and repainted.


• The 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF were delivered in increments, with the first few buses being delivered in September, 2001, while a few more 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses were delivered to WMATA later on during the year of 2001^[14]. The rest of the CNG New Flyer buses were delivered to WMATA throughout the year of 2002^[14]. To make room for these new buses during the year of 2002, WMATA transferred almost all of its 2000 Orion VI buses that used to be housed in its Bladensburg Metrobus Division to its Landover, Montgomery, Northern, Western, Southern Avenue, Arlington, and Four Mile Run Metrobus Divisions instead^[14]. WMATA's 2000 Orion VI buses have had very little to no presence in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division ever since 2002^[14]. WMATA also transferred a majority of its 1986-1993 Flxible B buses, 1994 Flxible D buses, 1995 Flxible E buses, and its 1992 Orion V, and 1997-2000 Orion V buses to WMATA's Landover, Montgomery, Northern, Western, Southeastern, Arlington, Four Mile Run, and Southern Avenue Metrobus Divisions as well in 2002, so that WMATA could make more room for its 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses^[14]. WMATA did; however, manage to keep much more of these diesel buses in operation at its Bladensburg Metrobus Division than its 2000 Orion VI buses as backup buses for Metrobus operators to use on routes during rush hour/ peak periods and also as backup buses that Metrobus operators would be able to use as backups when WMATA's 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses had problems or were not functioning well^[14].


• WMATA had finished fully modifying the Bladensburg Metrobus Division's fueling stations and maintenance shop to handle its 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses during the end of 2001^[14]. During this time, WMATA began training its Metrobus operators and maintenance workers how to maintain the buses, fuel the buses, troubleshoot any problems that may arise with them, and smoothly operate its 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses^[14]. WMATA Metrobus operators had to go through extensive training to operate these buses as many were used to operating WMATA's older diesel buses^[14]. Similarly, WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division maintenance workers were also very used to maintaining the older diesel buses and troubleshooting their problems, so they needed to also go through rigorous training regarding how to properly maintain, troubleshoot/ fix any problems that might arise in the 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer buses^[14].WMATA's Metrobus Operators basically played around/ experimented and test drived each of these brand new CNG New Flyer C40LF buses to see how comfortable they felt with them during this time^[14]. Most of the operators initially feared these buses would have problems with reliability but realized these buses ended up being much more reliable than they thought^[14]. The operators eventually decided that they liked these buses even better than the previous diesel buses as they smelled better and were more high tech than the previous buses^[14].


• The very first 10 WMATA 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF CNG buses were then actually phased into operation on Metrobus routes on February 10, 2002^[14]. As WMATA began to phase its 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses into operation on its Metrobus routes, WMATA did not preferentially replace its older diesel buses with these new buses on its all day routes vs. its peak/rush hour routes^[14]. Instead, WMATA randomly put its older diesel and brand new 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses to serve each of its routes that operated out of its Bladensburg Metrobus Division^[14]. The presence of WMATA's CNG New Flyer C40LF buses was much more notable during later during the summer and fall of 2002, as most of the other 2001-2002 New Flyer buses WMATA ordered, were delivered and phased into operation during that particular time^[14]. All of WMATA's CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were eventually phased into operation by the end of 2003^[14].


• While all of WMATA's 164 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses began operation at WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division and most of these buses have operated in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division throughout their entire lives, a few 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses have been transferred to WMATA's Four Mile Run Metrobus Division in Virginia in 2005 when that Metrobus Division finished modifying its Metrobus Fueling Equipment and Maintenance Facility to handle WMATA's 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses^[14].


• WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses initially were painted in the same Metro blue, white, and red paint scheme that had been used to repaint its 1990-1993 Flxible B buses, 1994 Flixible D buses, 1995 NABI/ American Ikarus buses, and 1995 Flixible E buses^[15]. Unlike WMATA's previous diesel buses, WMATA's New Flyer C40LF buses were the very first WMATA buses to have dark blue, feathery cushioned passenger seats that had a white dot design on them^[15]. The 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses also had a picture of a light blue sky filled with brown trees that had light green colored leaves on the top sides of the 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses^[15]. Below this picture, each of these buses had a white sign with slanted/ italic black print that said, "THIS BUS IS RUNNING ON CLEAN NATURAL GAS"^[15]. These buses also had a light red/ pink, "Stop Requested" sign on the top right corner of their front sides^[15]. The 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses, much like the 1997-2000 Orion V and 2000 Orion VI bus models, also featured the so-called, "Clever Device" technology, which announced the specific WMATA route number and the name of the specific destination the route was traveling in the direction of each time the bus made a stop and the Metrobus operators opened their doors, as well as the address of the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was approaching on its route^[15]. The Clever Devices also announced the, "Stop Requested" announcement out loud each time passengers rang the bell, to alert Metrobus operators that they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail station^[15].


• The 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were, however; repainted between July, 2008 and throughout the year of 2009 to WMATA's Metrobus Local and Metro Extra Schemes^[15]. These were the very first WMATA buses to be repainted in the Metrobus Local and Metro Extra Schemes^[15]. These buses were repainted in red, gray, blue, white, and black paint instead^[15]. The picture of a light blue sky with brown trees with light green colored leaves was entirely removed on the sides of these buses' roofs and replaced with a red, white, and gray colored paint instead^[15]. The white sign with the words, "THIS BUS IS RUNNING ON CLEAN NATURAL GAS", in black, italic print was replaced completely with a red, blue, and gray colored sign with the words, "local" in red font and "metrobus" in blue font^[15]. None of these words were italicized unlike the 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses' previous signs^[15]. Additionally, on the repainted buses, the original light red/ pink "Stop Requested" sign was completely replaced by a more high-tech dotted rectangle that had the words, "STOP REQUESTED", all in capital letters similarly to the way WMATA's 2008 NABI Articulated buses and 2009-2010 New Flyer DE42LFA buses did^[15]. The sign was black in color, but consisted of bright yellowy, orange neon lights that would light up much more clearly/ brightly than the original red/ light pink signs each time a passenger rang the bell to alert the Metrobus Operator each time they wanted to get off at a certain Metrobus stop, or Metrorail station the bus was about to approach^[15]. The windows also had a black colored outline that improved the contrast of the bus' windows/ made the color of the windows stand out more compared to the original painted 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses^[15].


• During the same time, though, there were a few 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses that were painted in the Metro Extra paint scheme which mainly consisted of blue paint with a little bit of red, white, and gray in some spots instead of Metro's Metrobus Local paint scheme^[15]. These buses consisted of a blue colored roof with the words, "Metro Extra", in italicized, white print unlike the Metrobus Local paint scheme. Next to the words, WMATA had a red flag with, "Metro Extra" on it^[15]. These buses operated only out of the Bladensburg Metrobus Division and were only specifically used on WMATA's weekday rush hour/ peak time bus routes^[15]. The color and design of the seats in each of WMATA's 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses, did however; remain the same as they had originally been^[15].


• The first repainted 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were initially phased into service during March and April 2009^[15]. During this time, there were more 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses painted in the original color than the new Metrobus Local paint scheme^[15]. More of the repainted CNG 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses were gradually phased into operation later on during the year of 2009 and throughout the year of 2010^[15]. The original painted 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were scarce in numbers in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus Division during early to mid 2010 as a majority of the original painted 2001-2002 New Flyer buses have undergone repainting in the either the Metrobus Local, or Metro Extra paint scheme^[15]. All of WMATA's 164 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF have been repainted into both of the new paint schemes by the fall of 2010^[15]. The original painted 2001-2002 New Flyer C40LF buses could no longer be found in WMATA's Bladensburg Metrobus division, nor anywhere in the Washington D.C., Maryland, or Virginia areas^[15].


• The 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were altogether phased out of operation during late 2016 and throughout the year of 2017 as their natural gas fuel storage tanks/ operation system have reached their full capacity^[15]. WMATA's 2001-2002 CNG New Flyer C40LF buses were replaced entirely by the 2015–2016 New Flyer XN40s^[15].

• Detroit Diesel Series 50


• Allison B400R

• Only 2105, 2114–2115, 2119 and 2130 are still active and used as backups for WMATA during rush hour, or shortages of hybrid buses.


• Replaced by 2016 New Flyer XDE40s & 2018 New Flyer XN40s.


• During the year of 2000, WMATA ordered Orion V buses that were even longer in size than their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts. These buses originally contained light green Vultron Destination signs like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts. However, even though the 2000 Orion V buses had much more reliable and readable light green Vultron Destination signs unlike their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, the 2000 Orion V buses also had their Vultron destination signs replaced with new bright orange Twin Vision LED lights that could be read even more clearly and be even more reliable than their Vultron Destination Signs.


• Much like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses also featured Clever Devices inside them which announced the name of the Metrobus route they were operating on, name of the destination they were operating in the direction of, and name of the specific address/ intersection of the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station they were about to approach. The Clever Devices also announced the words, "Stop Requested" out loudly each time passengers rang the bell to alert the Metrobus operator that they wanted to get off at the next Metrobus stop, or Metrorail Station the bus was about to approach. Like their 1997-1999 Orion V counterparts, WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses had their dark red, "Stop Requested" signs, on top of the front windows, at the center of the bus. The "Stop Requested" sign would light up/ glow to a bright neon red color each time passengers rang their bus bells. WMATA's 2000 Orion V buses have served at all of WMATA's Metrobus Divisions.
