Service 87 in 2009
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:29 pm
I used to take service 87 to school back in 2009 (that was 9 years ago already, time flies 
). It came to a point where I could remember all the number plates of the whole fleet of service 87. Maybe I can try and list them down below, in increasing number order.
SBS9202B, SBS9206R, SBS9209H, SBS9218G, SBS9222T, SBS9223R, SBS9230U, SBS9330P, SBS9344A, SBS9400X, SBS9431G, SBS9544P, SBS9576Y, SBS9585X, SBS9592A, SBS9609L, SBS9627J, SBS9663D
As seen above, all the buses were Volvo Olympians, which fully retired last year (2017). Most buses (10 out of 18) were from Batch 1, 5 were from Batch 2 (2 with Batch 1 radiator grille, 3 with updated grille), and 3 from Batch 3. Later on, SBS Transit added a single deck, a Volvo B10M (SBS931P), to the fleet.
Fast-forward to 9 years later, all the buses above are now nonexistent. It is now also harder to remember number plates, as the number plates are now scattered everywhere, compared to then, where buses of a certain model are usually together (e.g. SBS9200G to SBS9670H are all Volvo Olympians).
