Mercedes Benz O405

Introduction

From 1994 to 1996, Tibs introduced a total of 308 Hispano-bodied Mercedes-Benz O405s. All are air-conditioned with the exception of 73 examples that were introduced in 1996. This was because the Land Transport Authority had capped the proportion of air-con buses at 60% back then.  These buses were eventually fitted with air-conditioners in 2001.

In 1998, Tibs introduced 15 O405s that were fitted with the Volgren CR222L body which was first used on 11 Hino HS3KRKAs. Currently these buses are permanently deployed on services 67, 77, 171, 189, 920, 961, 963, 965, 969, 970 and 980.
