 In 1978 METRO bought 150 MAN SG-220-18-2 Articulated coaches for their suburban service. These coaches were not wheelchair accessible and were in secondary peak hour service by 1982 with the arrival of the SG-310's. They were geared for freeway speeds and served until 1990 when half replaced with Breda Duel-Mode tunnel coaches. The rest of the fleet served until the last coach was retired in 1999 being replaced by Gillig Phantom's and New Flyer D60HF's. The Metro Employees Historic Society has saved coach #1455 and uses it for excursions and charters.
