The last days of wheelchair not accessible buses

The non-low floor bus fleet of KMB is getting smaller and smaller.

Yesterday (6 Aug 2015) , some Volvo Olympian 12m are retried.

This photo was taken on 4 Aug 2015, HG3923 (3AV311) was running 87K. Now it is history.

Dennis Dragon 11m are already disappeared in the fleet.

AL 1,DX 2437, The first successful air-conditioned double decker~ Leyland Olympian 11 m

She is the ancestor of today's air-conditioned double decker, AL1, the Leyland Olympian. She was put in service in 1988 and retired in 2005. Her contribution is that the air-conditioning and driving system are both powered by the same engine, leading to good operation efficiency. Nowadays almost all air-conditioned double decker are powered by the similar way.

Because of the similar body and the seats as those non-air conditioned, some passengers may think this bus is converted from non-air conditioned bus, but the body work of this bus is original.

 As a spare bus, it served almost all routes of Li Chi Kok Depot. This picture was taken when it served 249M.
