When non-airconditioned buses became largely unacceptable, KPTC decided to retain at least part of their 1992 Ikarus 263.08 buses by rebuilding them. Most obvious are the new blue livery and the closed rear window. At least 38 buses were treated this way: 5542, 5546-5450, 5453, 5455, 5458, 5459, 5464-5466, 5468, 5470, 5471, 5474, 5476, 5480, 5482-5486, 5488-5494, 5496, 5498-5502 and 5507.
