Drop the B10TL, pop in a 3-axle LO.

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.

Leyland Olympian ONTL11/2R
1986 - 2003

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.

They will be remembered for their dedication and their lovely engine sounds.

SBS9818A SG

Yes, they will be missed. Sadly they are all going off by end of this year.

Finally, the most prestigious awards:

Best Newcomer ( SBST ): Svc 39 ( cheers all over... this svc had done a remarkable feat of returning to serve Yishunites and improved on the journey time, as well as providing good service...Keep it up! )

Best Newcomer ( TIBS ): svc 966 ( standing ovation .... getting from Woodlands to Toa Payoh in 25 mins, Eunos MRT in 35mins and Marine Parade in 45 mins , need i say more? )

The most prestigious of all...

Best Interchange: Tampines ( very friendly staff, quite clean for its age and easy to navigate in )

Best Service Provider: SBST ( staff from my experience are friendlier than TIBS staff from most interchanges. Also, they don't threaten to withdraw services on a whim like TIBS does , they really have no choice for the NEL fiasco )

SBS9818A SG

Don't forget the sudden reversal of taking photos policy.. Remember your camera almost got "chiong kong"..

off_service SG

When did TIBS threaten to withdraw services?

SBS9818A SG

Take Sv. 989 as an example.
