Most P&R schemes seem to be paid for by local authorities; York's is
run without any real subsidy which is why the livery is so First-like.

It would be almost impossible to keep 5 small fleets of different buses
in service anyway, without lots of spare vehicles. The generic P&R
livery gives some advertising advantage without confusing people if a
non-P&R bus turns up.
