Wow!   I wonder how they get servicing and repairs outside the USA in countries where MCI has never sold buses?   Even in Mexico it's rare to see any MCIs:  the European brands (Mercedes, MAN, Scania, Volvo) are dominant there, and that's in USA's neighbor.   I also wonder how much it cost to be shipped around the Darien Gap!
