i'm reasonably sure 7703 was originally PMCL 703, i recognize the dock lights in the luggage bay doors- they wern't a commonly seen option.

i was a apprentice mechanic with pmcl during the greyhound takeover until leaving in 2002. cha-co was purchased at about the same time, a lot of shuffling happened between the 2 properties.

PMCL took much better care of their busses than Greyhound does now.
