1990 MCI Classic 5108-5117

In early 2005, a tender for 10 used transit buses was put out by Calgary Transit. In the late summer of 2005, these buses started arriving one by one. They were 10 Ex-Connecticut Transit MCI TC40102A "Classics" acquired through Capital Bus Parts, who also refurbished the buses. The buses had air conditioning in them, but they have since been disconnected. The buses also have wheelchair lifts and kneelers which are also not to be used with Calgary Transit. These buses have padded shell seats similar to the 1991 MCI Classics that Calgary already has. The buses have destination signs made by Gulton, a former division of Luminator. These have since been replaced with Vultron II signs. These buses are powered by Detroit Diesel's 6V92TA engine and Allison's V731 transmission. The buses can be most identified by it's different front door setup because of the wheelchair lift, lack of a rear window and a spoiler like extension needed for the original air conditioning system.
