Aside from the cities mentioned above, OnniBus MEGA buses stop at numerous other places but unlike OnniBud Flex branded buses, they do not stop at all express stops on the way. Passengers can board and leave the bus only at predetermined stops, often located at city and town centres or highway junctions. This practice cuts travel times whilst also making business more profitable according to the company.

OnniBus operates a fleet of 48 Van Hool Astromega TDX27s as of October 2015. In March 2016 Onnibus imported used Van Hool Altano TD921s from its sister company, PolskiBus.
