Assuming that each of the three bus body builders were asked to build 1/3rd of the around 105 Volvo B7F buses, Choda Fabricators must have built around 35. They are virtually undistinguishable from the HSB and LSHS built ones, though the LSHS ones have different side windows and the HSB ones appear to have a narrower bnd between the side windows and the roof line. Three of the Volvo's were seen in 1994 in the new red livery, all with a CF body (see pictures below) and one was seen in the new white livery, also with a CF body (picture below). These buses had fleet numbers V-xxx from the onset and were later renumbered in the 2000-series.
