25% of the fleet are leased.

The leases are operating leases, not capital leases so  the lease payments are expensed but they can't take any depreciation because they haven't capitalized the buses. When the leases are bought out, the buses can be depreciated on the buyout price, not the market value. Maybe the difference between buyout price and market value can go to Goodwill and therefore also to equity but not to capital value and thus no depreciation.

Bottom line is that the fancy sheltering you suggest doesn't exisit with the leased buses.
