The bus
- Stagecoach
Hong Kong commenced operation of
Resident's Services in January 1994, initially with a fleet of five
Volvo B10Ms with air-conditioned Alexander PS bodies. These were joined
in 1995 by six 12 metre tri-axle Volvo Olympians with Volvo
engines and
Alexander 'R' type air-conditioned bodies capable of carrying 110
seated and 37 standing passengers.
When
Stagecoach ceased
operations in 1996, all six Olympians were sold to Citybus and GK4058
received the new fleet no. 508 (the batch receiving fleet nos.
505-510).
