Choosing one for your collection

Inspect the front bicycle rack and the long green roof edges. On a loose example, check that the large window piece is not badly scratched.

Compare the actual green body and transit graphics before using GRX52 as an identifier; that same string appears later as graffiti decoration.

Collector questions

Is a 2025 bus marked GRX52 this green release?

No. The 2025 graffiti buses use GRX52 as artwork. This GRX52 release is the green 2021 Metro debut.
