There are 40 on order, 30 have arrived, but only a few have gone into service so far. I think there is an option for another 40 next year, so we'll see if they do indeed get more in the future.

I rode in one on Monday and didn't notice any extra seating in the back. I'll have to take a better look next time. It did seem like the aisle was more cramped than in the other models. I didn't notice whether the seats were wider or if the bus was narrower than usual.
Also, they still had that new bus smell which I don't doubt will be quickly replaced by a mix of BO and pee.
