These were the first low floor buses in the Ride On fleet. Neither bus was originally owned by Ride On, as they were ordered for a transit authority in Quebec that rejected them. They were originally numbered 5570 and 5571 and were painted green and white with the cloud wrap. They were often not in revenue service and were officially retired in the mid-2000s.
