| The model -
With the appearance in August 2015 of ATR1
carrying a
decal that read "Farewell Hong Kong's first Super-low floor
double-decker bus ATR1 1997-2015", a model was
surely to
follow. This in fact was released on 21st October 2015. This bus was modelled by Corgi back in 1998 (44301).
The bus
- ATR1 was the prototype low floor double deck bus for KMB and it
entered
service in September 1997. It was the first bus to carry the new
champagne
livery, which denoted it being a low floor bus. When new, it carried
decals
on its lower deck sides which included a childs buggy and wheelchair,
emphasising
its low, non-stepped floor. It also carried a red pinstripe between
decks.
