They leased KCQ8588 from Pancaran Matahari for the trials. Needless to say, it was a success.

Looks like we might get a lot of 7888Ks in Penang

it's on top of procurement for another 140 SDs.
So it'll be a total fleet of 550 buses, 60 of which are ADDs.
I think e article stated RapidPenang's ridership is hitting 3m monthly.

While both of these geoengineering examples might counter global warming for a time, they could also have significant drawbacks. Increased fertilizers and/or phytoplankton growth could have unintended consequences on ocean ecosystems, including increased ocean dead zones and toxic blooms. Adding aerosols to the upper atmosphere could modify the chemistry of the upper atmosphere, affecting ozone and thereby having possible unintended impacts on the lower atmosphere.

The bus has a height of approximately 4.1 metres, just slightly lower than full-height double-deckers.
