Fleet

Nassau Inter-County Express runs a 100% Orion CNG-fueled bus fleet for fixed route service. All of the buses below are 102 inches (2.59 meters) wide and are fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Pictures shown are of buses in NICE livery or in Nassau County's stripe colors of blue-and-orange. Most of the 1700s and 1800s still are in the MTA's blue stripe paint scheme and have not been re-decaled at this time.
