Oh, looking forward to see some of its buses from SBS Transit to be transferred into Westbus fleet

唔排除咁o既可能性, 不過可能ADR唔比那些車入黎喎,
如果唔係, 亞記同都普車身o既B10M, O405都應該幾o岩用, 又有冷氣,
運左過黎, SBS自己就可以買新車, 西巴又可以叫做有"新"車 #;D

今日同朋友講開呢單收購，
西巴仲唔會唔會叫番西巴 (Westbus) 呢 ?
另外仲會唔會用番黃色做主色呢 ?

講下講下仲講埋會唔會入新雙層車呢 ? #;oD

I highly doubt they will bother to come up with a new colour scheme for Westbus, looking at how other bus companies that were takenover by a new owner. But I have a feeling that for Glenorie's own GBC livery, it will disappear eventually into part of Hillsbus.

With regards to deckers, it surely won't do any harm to introduce them on the M2 services, where the patronage will continue to increase, since there won't be a railway line for another few decades.
