After yesterdays dick measuring contest with bus drivers we became friends and over a few cold ones we discussed bus fabricators among other things.
TOP BUS BODY FABRICATORS Who is Who?

2.BANBROS -Another talented bus body company,I rate it No.2 in Kenya.But acheni ku-copy body concepts za Master;Initiate your own creative designs,don’t copy.
3.CHODA FABRICATORS -The leading mini-bus body company in Kenya,with most creative designs embracing modernity.
4.LSHS -Renown for years,for good lorry carrier bodies,and school buses. 5.KCI(KENYA COACH INDUSTRIES) -KCI ,alongside LSHS,leads in School Bus bodies fabrication.

@amun analeta ya truck body builders kina bachu na randon
Is that industry properly regulated? I find the quality of some builds wanting. Furthermore some builds are eye sores. I however appreciate them in terms of local industry, employment , economy etc
@Meria Mata , what are the applicable kebs body building standards? After the fabrication who and where is the inspection done because we all know the Inspector of motor vehicles is all about corruption
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]1. Master Fab are copyists…hakuna any new innovative designs zao…their designers are lifting Ideas from kina MarcoPolo Fabricators in Brasil.
[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]2. BanBros Lackany umpf…though their coaches topin terms of safety
[COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]3. LSHS and KCI are the worst…The only thing is the sturdiness of their Coaches else creativity is ZILCH! 4… KVM is shit…even designers wa Mobius 1 did a better Job.
Ile ya roll cage instalation ndio najua. But haijafanyika and they will procastinate juu kuweka chuma zaidi adds weigh and that equals more fuel consumption and poorer performance and increased cost of purchase. Hizi buses ni death traps. Ngoja moja ipate ajali uangalie picha utashangaa. Now look for an american bus accident scene. The difference in damage is huge. We should start importing buses
The Brazilians and chinkus make wonderful buses too, check out the tahmeed buses zile zimeanguka, the roofs were still intact, kawere or channia ikianguka roof hua one km away
