The Motor Coach Industries B-Series was a line of coaches manufactured in the first half of the 1990's. It largely replaced the A-Series and was meant as an economical offering for the intercity and charter markets. The B-Series used the lower front fascia of the 102-C3, while the rest of the coach remained much like the A-Series. Eventually, some operators elected to have smooth painted lower sides rather than fluted stainless steel. The B-Series, along with the 102-C3, were replaced by the 102-D3 in 1994.[1]
