Back in the day, the blame did lie about 60% on Yukon and Castleton. I remember riding a CAS O5 that was bombed with black marker graffiti on the windows, seats, roof, poles, back door and pretty much anywhere they could reach. But I kept riding this same CAS O5 (usually on the S46) for months and it was still there! I was in shock that they didn't even think about cleaning it.

Nowadays, vandalism is much easier problem for Yukon and CAS to solve. Yukon's #6326 (which is in the S89 batch), was put on a S74 run full of school kids and was destroyed but a couple of days later, when I caught it on a AM S94, it was like new again. Yukon is even treating their current (and ancient) 1990 TMCs very well unlike last year's batch.

All you have to do, is take the ferry over during the PM Rush Hour to St. George and check the fleet out for yourself. I would presume the 5:30pm cycle though, when about 40 buses head in and out of St. George.
