Special seen!

Actually, it is impossible to see this bus (AV326, HL9881) at KMB route 234A, by the way today this bus ordered this route. So, it is really a special seen.

Buses common use in Route 234A :
ADS (Dennis Dragon 9.9M (Euro II) (Duple Metsec-bodied)), and ATS (Dennis Trident III 10.6M (Duple Metsec-bodied))

But it is a AV (Volvo Olympian 11M A/C), we seldom see a AV at 234A. Especially HL9881 (AV326), it is because its beautiful skin. This beautiful skin - Year of the mouse 2008, although is a out-of-date skin, it is still here in 2010!

I took this bus when I go home from school. I was really surprised when I saw HL9881@234A! When the bus arrived the bus terminus, I saw many bus fans were taking photos. Then I also took out my camera to take some photos.
