The Optare Versa is a low-floor midibus that Optare built at its Sherburn-in-Elmet factory, 883 of them between 2007 and 2018. It was designed to fill the gap between the full-size Tempo and the smaller Solo, with a shorter wheelbase than the longest Solo models because the entrance sits ahead of the front axle. Two lengths, 10.3 and 11 metres, seat between 36 and 40 passengers. It was launched at Euro Bus Expo in November 2006 with a first order of 25 from Stagecoach, and hybrid electric and battery electric versions followed in 2010 and 2012. After the 2020 restructuring that created Switch Mobility the Versa was dropped in favour of the Metrocity.
