Many ColumboRiders were sold, however, Optare discontinued this model as it cost too much to build and ship the buses to the Columbrian specification. The only other product that was sold abroad was the Optare MetroRider. In the early 2000s Optare was acquired by the North American Bus Industries, this gave Optare another chance to sell buses abroad, so far the Solo (30-LFN) and the now discontinued Excel have been sold abroad.
