MC-8, MC-9 or MC-12? Just by comparing pictures I thought MC-12.

I'd say it's not a MC-8 because the bus above has a flat roof and front windows that "goes round the corner". I'd also say it's not a MC-12 as that version had a smoother roofline, more modern windows and, as far as I have been able to see, square head lights. That leaves MC-9 which was by far the most common one with 9,153 of them produced 1978-90, compare with 4,475 of the MC-8 1973-78 and only some 850 of the MC-12 1992-98.

That is a 1978-90 MCI MC-9. (MCI stands for Motor Coach Industries) Here's a link http://www.busexplorer.com/NABus/MCI-Text.html and for some pictures http://www.busexplorer.com/PHP/FeaturePage.php?id=17
