PC3264A - MAN A69

History

Singapore Ducktours started operation in 2001, beginning with 2 Condiesel LARC-V vehicles after getting permits from Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). All Condiesel LARC-V vehicles were purchased from Singapore Armed Forces who have progressively de-registered these vehicles from 2000. Singapore Ducktours had also learnt experience from London and Hong Kong, with 4 Scania L94UB (Soon Chow) buses purchased in 2003, and also had City Sightseeing licence, with colourful liveries between 2004 and 2010:

  • PA4685C: Yellow (Hippy)
  • PA4709T: Red (Hurray)
  • PA5418B: Purple (Purpee)
  • PA5420T: Pink (Pinkie)
  • PA6432C: Blue (Bingo)
  • PA6433A: Green (Kermee)
  • PA7143E: White (Snow White)
  • PA7187D: Brown (Cookie)
  • PA7316Z: Orange (Julius)

These Scania L94UBs were made from the former Alexander R bodied buses which were progressively made obsolete since 2000.

In 2010, Singapore Ducktours standardised all operations, with older buses had to be painted in brown Big Bus livery as "The Original Tour - Singapore Sightseeing" and newer buses are to be repainted into red corporatised City Sightseeing livery. There is also a short-lived light blue Singapore 7 Sightseeing livery, until it was standardised into brown Singapore 7 Sightseeing from 2016.

In 2018, Singapore Ducktours had merged all operations into Big Bus Singapore, and it is called "Big Bus & Duck".
