| These 471 units of Volvo Olympians, modelled after the successful Leyland Olympian, were introduced between 1994 to 2000 in three different batches. The first batch of 201 such buses were fitted with a 9 600cc Volvo TD102KF engine and bore the familiar red seats. They are registered within the ranges of SBS 9200G to SBS 9400X, of which the first 101 had emergency exits on the upper deck as well as the lower deck.
The subsequent two batches of this type of bus featured a Volvo D10A engine with a similar engine capacity of 9 600cc. The second batch were registered as SBS 9401T to SBS 9600K. The last batch were registered as SBS 9601H to SBS 9670H. These two batches of buses are most easily recognised by their yellow textured grab poles. Due to their large fleet, the Volvo Olympian can be found operating on several services islandwide. They are widely known by many as their original tagline "Superbus".
