XTRA - Citybus - Jonckheere Monaco bodied Volvo B12s

Citybus registered five Jonckheere Monaco bodied Volvo B12 coaches on 29th March 1996, allocating them the fleet numbers 2001-2005. They were originally destined for a Japanese operator, but the sale fell through and Volvo offered them to Citybus for a reduced price. They were used to operate cross-border services from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, Dongguan and Guangzhou

All were retired on 28th March 2001 and were sold to an Australian operater, Ritchies.

My thanks to Albion Valkyrie Kwok, Gakei and Stephen Cho for allowing me to use their photographs.
