Preserved Leyland Olympian 2-axle Bus (SBS7196Z)

Main article: Leyland Olympian

A Leyland Olympian 2 axle (formerly registered SBS7196Z) was converted into a gym/playground bus for children known as Bobbie the Gymbus, bearing the registration plate YL8508R. The bus was relegated to static display in Pat’s Schoolhouse (Jubilee Park) kindergarten. Despite the interior modifications, the exterior remains near intact.

In March 2020, with the closure of the Jubilee Park kindergarten, the bus was moved to Pat’s Schoolhouse Katong at 26 Still Road South. However, the bus sustained damage to the roof during the towing operation.

Another Leyland Olympian 2 axle sits outside the National Youth Council along Grange Road. Dubbed the ‘Qbuzz’, it was converted into an office.\

Bus preservation in Singapore

Retired public buses in Singapore are rarely preserved. When they are, these buses usually get repurposed for other means, rather than being kept in their original condition for historical value. Youtuber glitchFan2428 has an excellent video on the topic of local bus preservation [Link here].
