-These buses are notable because they were used in the [[Wiki Wiki Shuttle|"Wiki Wiki" route]] at [[Honolulu International Airport]]. The first [[wiki]], called ''[[WikiWikiWeb]]'', was named by its programmer, [[Ward Cunningham|Howard Cunningham]], after this line of buses. The buses were also purchased by [[Pace (transit)|Pace]], primarily for use in [[Niles, Illinois]]; all have now been retired, with the last one running service routes in May, 2007.
-Currently there are 13 of these buses in use in [[Sheboygan, Wisconsin]], and 8 used in [[Johnstown, Pennsylvania]].
