Almost the entire 4245-4278 set of Yukon NGs is in original paint as delivered and looks terrible. The oldest paint schemes in the system at 12 years old, except the MCIs.

Yeah, there was a reason they didnt keep that paint scheme. I do believe 4251, 4273 and 4278 and maybe a couple more have been repainted.

I don't think any bus from 4245-78 has the newest repaint for NG Hybrids (where they move "Clean Air Hybrid Electric Bus" to the top area).

I think they look bad because the paint jobs are old and falling apart, not because the scheme is bad. I totally prefer the old scheme, though the best ever was probably what 4618 and a couple others had as delivered.

A few of them were repainted in the first repaint cycle, but yeah, none of them got their second repaints with overhauls. Almost all other NGs have been repainted twice at this point, those buses haven't even been painted once!

To recap seen from a few posts, almost all of 4245-4278 never got a repaint. Just different signs from the other Next Gens.  

Are you talking about a recent repaint or NEVER...EVER...repainted? I ask because "Cait Sith 810" and I rode either #4251 OR #4259 on the S59 from Tottenville to Elitingville (Hylan Blvd) back around 2015? I was freshly repainted back then.

Most of those are never-ever repainted, and still wear the as-delivered original scheme. Black lining under the windscreen, angled stripe at the rear, and some even have the old "Wide Right Turns" RTS still on the back. Maybe four or five buses in the series were repainted. 4251 was repainted but 4259 is still in original paint.

Never ever repainted in reply. I rode 4271 few weeks ago on the M2 and it still carrys the original number lining and paint.
