Long wait times and infrequent evening service are just some of the complaints from Westchester residents who rely on the public bus to get around the county.

Easy enough to say, but it's really tough when you're a full time college student like many of my peers. Just insurance in many of these zip codes costs me upwards of $1900 for 6 months, for basic coverage. That's not including the cost of gas, registration, and repairs (necessary due to the sheer amount of salt needed on our roads in the winter).

@@s89hblr is unfair that a grown population in westchester during the years that they don’t have 24/7 service on all line’s including the ones that goes to the malls like the westchester and new rock city. There is people that lives in the city that works in those areas and leave late and has no choice but to Uber at least to the bronx for the rest of their journey.

I truly believe that there's a better solution to this from both parties: Either find another bidder to operate the bus 🚌 network or have the MTA takeover the Bee-Line, rebrand as the MTA Metro North Bus, redesign the bus network, and place additional order for more busses, and hire more bus drivers under the MTA banner.

As an employee of Liberty Lines I can tell you first hand that issues persist I’ve worked at Publicly Run Transit agencies that do a superb job this public private partnership that the county of Westchester has is disastrous take for instance the fact that there’s no service on Thanksgiving or Christmas that’s un fathomable another thing is running routes on an hourly frequency on Sunday’s because most of the work force is off on the weekends Public Transportation is supposed to take cars off the road but in some places they are forcing them back on the road because the system isn’t working as designed the MTA has the resources I believe the county doesn’t want to pay the price for the services Nassau,Suffolk & Westchester counties should form a Tri-County Authority under the MTA bringing back the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority (MSBA) splitting the operating cost 3 ways and giving the Bus Operators the choice of transferring to Depots throughout the the 3 divisions during the system pick like they do over at NYCT/OA/MTABC or just merge them into MTABC

I want to know what idiot decided to get rid of the bus lane at the Woodlawn. Now traffic its backed up for 4 blocks during rush hour because the bus has to block traffic including other buses.. Also, why is the cross walk signal at that stop over 30 seconds long? and Why is the construction taking over 3 years?

Construction is still going on to this day. Now the MTA decided they needed an accessible station at Woodlawn for some reason. They had from May until now and it's still not complete.

@@TheCinderDude It doesn't look like its going to be accessible either. I been passing almost every day and neve see any work being done.
