Mercedes Benz 811D
Introduction
In
1992, SBS introduced 5 Mercedes Benz 811D minibuses that were bodied by a local
company called Asia Coach. These buses were initially deployed on services
M1 and M2. In 1994, Dennis Darts
replaced the 811Ds of
the two services. The 811Ds were then deployed on the newly introduced service 20. After
service 20 merged with service 125
on 27 Nov 2000, these buses disappeared
for a while, only to reappear on service 323. When service 323 was withdrawn on 24
February 2002, these buses once again disappeared. In June 2002, these buses
were spotted on services 42, 182 and 183. They were used only for a very brief
period of time before being de-registered by November 2002. Interestingly, one of these 5 buses,
SBS8005K, was repainted in the new livery before being de-registered.
