MTA New York City Transit (Bus):

Orion V

The first Orion V test bus visited New York City in 1989. MTA New York City Transit ordered the Orion V from 1993 to 1999, when it decided to switch to low-floors and ordered the Orion VI prototype. The low-numbered 1993 buses were part of a special pilot program in which bus numbers had five digits that identified the model year; it was discovered that the computer system could not handle the five-digit numbers, and the buses were renumbered. The older buses featured Detroit Diesel 6V92 engines, but all have now been repowered with DD50s.

244 (1993) features Luminator Horizon LED destination signs, unlike the other buses which feature traditional green flipdot displays. Her sister 247 (1993) features similar orange Balios LED signs.
