History

All buses were originally delivered in Ghost scheme, as the new YRT livery would be debuting soon. All buses had a set of old YRT logos applied though.

610 had a wrap applied of a possible paint scheme - a gradient scheme fading from white to blue. It had two blue Y logos applied over the rear windows. 610 was eventually repainted into the now-standard scheme.

As repainted vehicles, all buses had the white Y logos applied in November 2007. The Miller units were especially prone to ripping off, so they were removed by February 2008.

Miller only has 3 units that are hard to find, although they may be found on major routes like 1, 2 and 8. First Student's are easiest to find, just look for any major route out of Newmarket Terminal.
