YesOriginally posted by xunmengzitu:what is it doing in HK? old SBS buses are sold to HK? -
actually no, those in the photos are not the ones sold to hong kong.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yes
in 1992 SBS sold these atlanteans to china, and they passed by hk to attend the bus rally 1992 before heading on to the mainland.
in 1993, when hk's citybus acquired the franchise of 26 new routes, they bought 100 atlanteans (mostly metal sections, a few alexander) from SBS, converted their front to alexander R style with electronic route display.
they were subsequently retired in 1997, with some becoming training buses, some being sold to south africa and some scrapped.

The Atlanteans CityBus bought from SBS were of the Alexander SB-Type bodywork. 'Network 26' was displayed on its sides, and the front was changed to R-Type. A handful of original SB-Type was also acquired exclusively for training purposes, and no cosmetic changes were done. One sole R-Type Atlantean was also acquired as a Training Bus.Originally posted by sir_peanuts:actually no, those in the photos are not the ones sold to hong kong.

i see... the sole R-type (no. 699) wasn't allowed to serve on passenger routes cos its upper deck height didn't meet requirements i think.Originally posted by Superbus:The Atlanteans CityBus bought from SBS were of the Alexander SB-Type bodywork.

In 1992, SBS introduced 5 Mercedes Benz 811D minibuses that were bodied by a local company called Asia Coach. In 1994, Dennis Darts replaced the 811Ds. The 811Ds were then deployed on the newly introduced service 20. After service 20 merged with service 125 on 27 Nov 2000, these buses disappeared for a while, only to reappear on service 323. When service 323 was withdrawn on 24 February 2002, these buses once again disappeared. In June 2002, these buses were spotted on services 42, 182 and 183. They were used only for a very brief period of time before being de-registered by November 2002. Interestingly, one of these 5 buses, SBS8005K, was repainted in the new livery before being de-registered. All 5 buses were sold by February 2003. -
Where are they now? I think they are owned by ARBP, then HGDEP and finally, settled in SLBP before deregistering.
