In 1999, WMATA ordered 30 foot Orion V buses to operate on some of its lower capacity routes. Like the 1997 Orions, these buses featured Vulton destination signs that were ultimately replaced with TwinVision LED signs due to their unreliability. These buses were retired in 2012 but then continued to operate for Montgomery County Ride On for another two years.
