In Real Life 1980s and 90s Malaysia, the actual pink (mini) busses are the Mercedes Benz O309 from the late 1960s-mid 80s. But sadly, it was discontinued in late 1998. I wish they still kept the minibus service alive with this concept but with newer models instead of those iconic classic ones that was considered obsolete and too old for the urban 21st century traffic.

Because cars nowadays affordable especially local manufactured ones .. even if a Malaysian can't afford to buy a car, he or she at least could afford to buy a motorcycle not to mention the arrival of E hailing like grab or maxim.
I tried to find the Mercedes one bit it's to hard to find actual 3d model of Mercedes Benz 0309...so I take the this Hino as it's substitute.
Speaking of old buses, in my hometown in Sarawak old Japanese Hino bus from the 1970's are still operated by some public bus company as far as mid 2010's only to be discontinued by the arrival of e hailing services..the reason they still operated them simply because it's more realiable and cheaper to operate.

True, ever since cars became affordable in the Malaysian market and the E-hailing services was a thing in this modern generation. Bus and taxi services became dominated and almost obsolete when it comes to urban areas. Anyway, I do know it's quite hard to find a 3D model of Mercedes Benz O309 these days even in real life. The only ones that are still operating in our country today are the blue industrial worker and yellow school bus variants.
