Yah! at one time, the monster on the road, the Bas MINI. Now also no more.....Damn TR those pictures brought back memories....sniff....
Although I've never taken Foh Hup, but I can still remember receiving the ticket issued by the bus conductor when I was a kid taking the Bas Mini from Ampang with my sister go to Ampang Park for jalan2 hahaha. The seat, window and bell? oh yeah fond memories heheh.
Reminds me a story of a friend of mine who took this kind of old school bus (can't remember what company long time already). As he was enjoying the scenery after a hard days work, out of nowhere a foul stench came lingering in the bus. Everyone was kind of pissed and frustrated. All of a sudden a pakcik suddenly shouted "BABI". My friend was like...what the hell, relax ah pakcik. Even the passengers were shocked. Knowing that it was kind of an awkward moment, the pakcik quickly told everyone "tu...lori babi".
The pink mini bus is the best and most efficient transporter in KL history. Back then, if you were in a hurry you think of mini bus instead of cab. Cheap and efficient. How much was the fare by the way I forgot? hehe. They were the best cornering kakis, swinging left and right with full passenger load yet still won't flip over, but people screaming like hell la.I think for students, best to get a car that is less problematic and easy to maintain...local brand will be a good choice.
vr2, they are given nick name as the pink panther......very notorious for speeding and zig zag in and out of traffic....see this pink panther near your rear view mirror faster faster give way...Hahahahahaha
Yup, when full the people hanging for dear life. Some even half the body outside the door.....The pink mini bus is the best and most efficient transporter in KL history.

Too bad we don't have it now.
Ya it has gone for good. But the "masuk dalam! masuk dalam!" still reverberates in my heart. It was good old day.If I recall, before they colour the bas mini pink, it was a different colour. Either green or blue. If bus mini zig zag nowadays, for sure a lot of road accidents or breakdown due to engine cannot tahan the shear magnitude of KL traffic jam nowadays. You really gotta respect the drivers for the bas mini. I would presume the conductor and the bus driver work together. I remember the conductor would usually stand at the staircase and he / she will provide another set of eyes for the bus driver.
I don't think that there are a lot of bus drivers nowadays that have driven the bas mini before. Not sure if I posted this before, but I heard that a lot of bas mini drivers drove Intrakotas and other buses from other bus companies after it was slowly phased out back then.
I do pity the younger generation for not being able to experience the old school buses. If the bus mini were to be revived now, I don't think it would be used at how it was in the past. Probably used as a means to ferry tourists or people who want to experience KL in a bas mini.
These old school buses still have in PJ Old Town area.....but very few left.....I do pity the younger generation for not being able to experience the old school buses.

Try Metrobus to refresh our good old days...still got "Masuk Dalam, Masuk Dalam"Ya it has gone for good. But the "masuk dalam! masuk dalam!" still reverberates in my heart. It was good old day.
