  Hello everyone,
  
  can anyone enlighten me about the whereabouts of SBS 997? IS it sold, or put out of service, or is it still on Service 62? I've been looking for it lately, but I only found that 62 received plenty of Superbuses , mainly VOs lately, so maybe the high capacity of SBS 997 had been relegated ? To other services hopefully ?
  
  Thanks.

  Hello! SBS997A is still on Svc 62. The bus is mostly likely at during peak hours. I saw this bus travelling along Victoria St on 14/4/2003.

  Thanks a lot! I will try to look out for it during peak hours, too bad it is not deployed full day like before.

  SBST has decided to sell away that bus and is still looking for buyer. Go to SBST website and check.

  SBST has decided to sell the bus quite sometime ago already , perhaps they have found a buyer for the bus thats why we dont see the bus these past few days ?
  
  Jack , the bus has not been operating on bus 18 for the past week .

  Who would want to buy SBS 999U? TIBS? I think maybe it has gone into hibernation again. Luckily me and Hao Rui were about to board and take photos of it.

  School bus or a private bus operator perhaps ? That will look real odd .

  Good luck Captain Charles! Try 9836 and 9837 on Svc 70 or 72. For 9848... Svc 168.

  Oh man! It seems that SBS Transit is playing 'Switch -A-VSO' game with the newer batch of VSOs!

  Very common, not only VSOs, other buses are going all over!
