American Coach Lines Expands its fleet of Opus' at the University of Miami

Wichita, Kan. – June 28, 2006 – Three Opus buses were delivered to American Coach Lines, which is contracted to operate buses at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., for UM's Parking and Transportation Department.

American Coach Lines has operated the Opus at the University of Miami since November 2005. With the addition of the three new Opus buses, American Coach Lines' total Opus fleet operating at the University of Miami is nine buses.

"Our experience with Optima and their product the Opus has been very positive. We have developed great relationships with many key personnel at Optima," said Bret Brittenum with American Coach Lines. "We have had a very positive feedback from our customer, UM, and our passengers. We appreciate the excellent maneuverability, the curb appeal, and the support we receive from Optima."

American Coach Lines' initial Opus fleet was purchased to operate on both on- and off-campus routes. The fleet is expanding because of residential expansion on-campus in an area called University Village. The University of Miami has contracted with American Coach Lines to add additional routes to the University Village area.

Optima Bus Corporation "transit tough" products - the revolutionary-designed Opus low-floor bus and nostalgic American Heritage Streetcar - have lived-up to their reputations with more than 180 Optima customers across the United States.
