These Brazilian built buses are numbered in the 6000/6100-series, though in 2010 numbersapparently had been removed. 40 were seen, all in the white livery with an orange front end as used for public service buses by KGL. There were even some allover advertisement buses. It appears these vehicles were taken over from TASECO in Saoudi-Arabia. Several disused vehicles, either in the course of rehabilitation or used for spare parts, were seen at the KGL premises in their white and green TASECO livery (see lower picture).
