introduced in 1979.
SBS was formed in 1973, name changed to SBST in Nov 2001.
The above post you have mentioned is NOT SBS operate the service in
1971 but the MB OF1113 buses with [b]1971 Soon Chow
bodywork.
SVC 247A, 249A, 250A &
251A
SVC 247A, 249A, 250A & 251A were introduced in 1979, withdrawn
in 1986 as SBS svc, Scheme B took over the 4 svcs.
The MB OF1113s with 1971 Soon Chow bodies were deployed on the 4
svcs, one of it was SBS4095B.[/b]
I don't have the exact date when SBS was renamed as SBS Transit,
but the point I want to tell you is, please don't mix up SBS and
SBS Transit. Sure, the buses are 1971 Soon Chow MB OF1113, but SBST
did not operate SVC 247A, 249A, 250A & 251A , since they were
withdrawn by 1986, and SBST was not in operation then!
I don't want to argue with you, just to show you that the naming of
the company is wrong. Going off topic also. This is my last word on
this.
