I like these choices plus VSO and VO .
Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:I agree. These buses are certainly good workhorses as well as good friends to many of us, since we watched the arrival of the Leyland Olympian 2 axles till their last days of services.
I'd like to give credit to the 2-axle Leyland Olympian which will be retired at the end of this year. Gone will be the last batch of Leyland engined bus in the world. After 15+ years of service, its dedication to Singapore's commuters and its appeal to bus fans will be remembered.
