AL1 - The first air-conditioned Olympian in Kowloon Motor Bus

This picture was taken on 14 September 1999 on To Kwa Wan Road.

AL1 (DX2437) was allocated to Route 6C on 11 January 2000. It was arriving Mei Foo Bus Terminus.

AL1 (DX2437) is the first air-conditioned Olympian in KMB. It is also the first air-conditioned 11.3m Olympian in HOng Kong. The pictures were taken in June 1999 on Canton Road. From the photographs above, the windows were locked, but not fixed, and the specifications is nearly the same as those non-airconditioned Olympians. It is because non-airconditioned operation could be done if the Denso compressors fail when the bus was on trial in 1988.

In late July 2000, wheel covers have been fitted to AL1. This picture was taken on Hing Fong Road on 28 July 2000.
