Unitrans 4615-4618

Unitrans 4615-4618 are four Gillig Phantom transit buses that are owned by Unitrans in Davis, California. 4615 and 4616 are operated in regular service, while 4617 and 4618 are used for driver training.

These buses were originally owned and operated by Yolobus before being sold to Unitrans. 4615 and 4616 have been repainted into Unitrans's current red paint scheme, while 4617 and 4618 still wear their Yolobus colors (the "Yolobus" name and fleet number have been replaced, however).
