Probably DM3500. Most of the Striders went straight out of BBDEP onto other depots when KUBs replaced them on 506.

Yeah... 160 does not have any 58* to 6** series MK3s currently.

Lowest rego for 160 is: SBS707X

they are saying that the road conditions in JB is very worst.. so the KUBs will suffer a lot of damage while travelling in JB roads.. and most likely the KUB will break into pieces.

I dun understand why they need to make such comments.. The majors roads conditions are quite well now in JB...If the road conditions in the major roads is really that bad, why do i see Singapore cars driving at 90/100km/hr along the road leading to Larkin Terminal? If you look at our Singapore roads, there are even more uneven surface, due to the consistent digging/patching of the road surface.... today dig, one month dig the second lane...

Yeap it's not that bad as we put it out to be. However, if KUB were to deployed, they would need to lower the hump at the checkpoint but dun think it will happen in the near future :)

Looking forward to see services 160/170 with different fleets soon. It is rather dull to see them still with Volvo MK3s till now.

I really agree wit tis.I always keep on tinking tat they suka suka keep on digging lik tis forever,one day wat wld happen if the whole singapore jus sank????

OT a bit since we talking abt Malaysian roads:

2 yrs back wen i went to KL,the road surface there was freaking terrible!!!!I still rmb there were lik huge pothholes almost everywhere on the rd and my relative's car i was in was lik shaking here and there going through the terribe holes.But wen i went there tis Feb,the road conditions had improved so much.Didnt really expect such good improvements.... :)
