==Notes==
==Notes==
* Since delivery, Bus 963 has been in special livery for ACTION. A common misconception is that the bus (along with sister units [[BUS 967|967]] and [[BUS 971|971]]) advertises the National Dinosaur Museum, however the dinosaur skeletons that make up the livery actually encourage people to "Take ACTION (to) conserve our fossil fuels"
* This vehicle was new in 1979 as a MAN Demonstrator
* In July 2016, its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
* From December 1979-February 1980 it operated for Metro Hobart as 701
* From 1982-1983 it operated for Darwin Buslines as 39.
* From 1983-December 1985 it operated for Brisbane City Council as 997 (242-OVI)
* It was delivered to ACTION on 6 December 1985.
* It entered service at Belconnen Depot on 9 April 1986.
* On 5 July 1992 it was transferred from Woden Depot to Kingston for withdrawal.
* It was disposed in July 1993.
* It last operated for Premier Nowra (MO 0880) and has since been scrapped for parts.
