==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"
* It was delivered to ACTION on 25 June 1993, the same day as the final Renault PR180.2 Mk2 bus ([[BUS 989|Bus 989]]) was delivered.
* From 1993 until 2008, Bus 982 was in a special livery (known as "Cultural Base") to mark the year of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. It was hand painted by a local Aboriginal Artist. Following accident damage in 2008 the bus was repainted into a plain brown livery, which was the base colour of the special livery.
* In July 2008 it received a new special livery celebrating Aboriginal Reconciliation. [[BUS 990]] was also put into a special Reconciliation livery at the same time as 982, however the two liveries are nothing alike.
* Bus 982 was fitted with a DL2 bike rack during March 2010.
* On 19 October 2010 the bus was hit by a reversing garbage truck, causing structural damage to the back half of the nearside of the bus.
** It was repaired and returned to service in March 2011 in corporate livery.
* In July 2016, its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
