    1. මේවා දැනට ධාවනයේ නැත. එකල තිබුනේ ද යටිනුවර සහ මට්ටක්කුලිය වැනි සීමිත ඩිපෝ ගණනක පමණි.

  2. In late 80s and early 90s Kurunegala Nort depot had two of these types. One was plied between Kururunegala and "Horiwila weda gedara" daily. Even though the engine is super solid, the body of these buses tend to corrode prematurely. In the In the late 90s both busses were sold to scrap

  6. I can remember YT10 and YT11 buses allocated to Pottapitiya-Kadugannawa route and Pottapitiya-kandy route via Danthure. Thank you for cherished old memories. These buses are excellent on those days. Proud fleet from the people of Japan.

  7. Embilipitiya depot had this type one & another ISUZU single door bus, but body type differs.Both were called "Luxury Buses" (before automatic buses introduced). One traveled between Embilipitiya - Sooriyakanda, I was a school boy 83-89 at this area. Two drivers ran this bus, I know the names of both, but I cant mention without permission. If any of you have a picture of BF 30's other side, that means right side please post. Those are most important,. Thanks a lot for all posts.
