It featured a flat roofline and large rectangular side windows. A special version was made for Greyhound Canada called the MC-9 Special. Its main difference is the square headlights instead of the circular ones on the regular MC-9. New Jersey Transit placed a large order for a commuter version of the MC-9 called the MC-9A and MC-9B. They featured a destination sign window above the windshield and a two-piece front door. The MC-9B's destination sign was larger than that of the MC-9A. TMC also produced a number of MC-9 coaches, 3,194 in total.
