  • These are the buses which have already used the 5xxx series; so i dun think 5200H could be the last KUB registered for this batch (im not pretty sure unless they reuse their rego).
    

  
  Those buses were from ABC/ABS/UBC and re-regoed into SBS when the 3 companies merged into a single body, SBS in 1973. Regos ranging from 1XXX - 6XXX were used to assign a bus to their 6 respective depots.

  U have to accept them la bro..I also last time hate them lik ke siao.But now i lik them alr.Cuz wen i went to Malaysia in Dec,both the express buses i took to there and back were Gemilang bodies buses also.And they were really fantastic.After tat wen i came back,i was happy tat at least we have Gemilang public buses here.Even if cant take those express buses,can still take tis kubs which r lik their 'brother' mah :)

• Merczrox

  27 Jan 10, 21:14

  Wow the registration of tis 200 kubs seems faster than expected.Nvm good news anyway..SBST likes to do everyting quickly..Cant wait to see them out in the roads soon :)
