In 2005, Calgary Transit started
receiving 10 used TMCI AC40102A buses. Built identically to a MCI
TC40102A, I believe that the TMCI name and the model number AC40102A were
designated for these buses as they were built to US Specifications and were
built under the "Buy American" act. Although there is no
physical difference between a Canadian built MCI versus the US Built TMCI,
the only difference I've noticed is the serial plate near the front door and the
model number, otherwise were identical. These buses were second hand from
Connecticut Transit and were resold through a bus refurbishing facility out of
Quebec. All are powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and the Allison
V731 transmission, with their air conditioning units disconnected and their
wheelchair lifts disabled.
