ESTO = Eerste Salatigasche Transport Ondememing

Translation: First Salatiga Transport Enterprises

There are 2 big garages where ESTO operated. One is now well known for the delicious "Soto" sold in the morning (soto esto*).
*note: they have moved behind langensuko (2010)

"H" is the designated number plate for Central Java. Later on Salatiga vehicles would have "H ... B" plate.
