The buses feature 24 passenger seats (without wheelchairs), 20 with two wheelchairs and a single entry/exit door located at the front. The buses are powered by a Cummins ISB engine with an Allison B300R transmission. Luminator Horizon LED destination signs are installed as well, in the same locations as 40 foot New Flyer D40LF units (front, door side, back and key number). These are the first Calgary Transit buses to feature the American Seating, Metropolitan model, the driver's seat is provided by USSC. A rooftop Thermo King unit provides heat and air circulation. The first order of buses originally went into service with only its white base paint and the Calgary Transit decals. Soon after, they received the 3 stripe livery. Shortly afterwards the livery was changed to the Red/Brown livery. In less than a year, all 12 buses of the first order were in service in showing 3 different liveries.
