The Switch Metrocity, formerly sold as the Optare MetroCity, is an integral midibus built by Switch Mobility since 2013. It was first aimed at the London market and is based on the Optare Versa that appeared in 2009. It is offered in five lengths from 9.9 to 11.52 metres, the shorter ones meant to replace the Optare Solo SR in London and the longer ones the Versa and the Tempo SR, which the Metrocity displaced from the United Kingdom market. A battery electric version, the Metrocity EV, uses a 150 kW Magtec motor and entered service with London United in 2014 and with Arriva London in 2015. By August 2018 more than 250 had been built, and Tranzit Group of New Zealand ordered 114 for Wellington in 2017.
