  Today marks the lifespan expiry of SBS9168S, the last Leyland chassis built (chassis no. ON21080). It is part of the last batch 200 Leyland Olympian 3 axles ordered by then-Singapore Bus Service (SBS) before the end of Leyland Bus. The Olympian was continued later by Volvo.

  Technically speaking, it is the youngest Leyland Olympian 3 axles in SBS Transit's fleet, but during the assembly it was built up and registered earlier (if SBS was following chassis number, it whould be registered as SBS9199C, the last of the allocated SBS Leyland registration series 9000-9199). It also holds significant value for fans of the Leyland brand, though there is no information as to whether if this vehicle will be preserved or used elsewhere.

  The Leyland Olympian 3 axles were the first ever airconditioned double decker buses to enter service in Singapore, and were nicknamed "Superbus" due to its 12m length as a double decker - a nicknamed that had been retired after SBS rebranded to SBS Transit. There are currently less than 10 units in service until the type's full retirement by the end of April 2013.

  Farewell SBS9168S....Thank you for your 19 years of service.
