Posted by TheGreatOne2k7 on Sat Feb 24 17:37:25 2007 http://yonkerstribune.typepad.com/yonkers_tribune/2007/02/beeline_bus_sch.htmlMore Service Added to Accommodate New Bus Riders Headed for Yonkers Raceway WHITE PLAINS, NY -- The Westchester County Department of Transportation will implement its winter schedule changes on March 5, adding service on three routes and rerouting some buses in downtown White Plains. Highlights of the changes are: o Route 20 will have added service on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings between the Bedford Park and Woodlawn subway stations and Yonkers Avenue. The change reflects increased ridership on the route due to the reopening of Yonkers Raceway. o Route 3 will get a new weekday morning express trip from the W. 242nd Street subway station in the Bronx to downtown White Plains to accommodate passenger demand. o Route 8 will have earlier Saturday service between Mount St. Vincent in the Bronx and Tuckahoe. “We are enhancing service on these routes to meet passenger demand,” said county Transportation Commissioner Lawrence Salley. “We are also upgrading several routes with wheelchair accessible buses. This makes the entire Bee-Line bus system wheelchair accessible with the exception of Routes 77 and BxM4C – those routes are expected to be completely accessible next year.” Several bus routes in downtown White Plains will also be changing. New construction, expected to begin this spring along Main Street, will require several buses to alter their routes. Routes 1W, 11, 14, 15, 17, 27 and 77 will terminate at E. J. Conroy Drive and Main Street by Wal-Mart. Routes 5 and 6 trips ending in White Plains will terminate at E. J. Conroy Drive and Main Street, but those headed for Harrison or Pleasantville will continue onto Hamilton Avenue and North Broadway. Route 3 trips that end in White Plains will do so at E. J. Conroy Drive and Main Street. Routes 12, 13, 20, 62 and all shuttle routes will continue to use Main Street to South Broadway. Bee-Line schedule changes are made three times a year to reflect changing employment trends in the county, to respond to input from passengers and to keep service operating efficiently and on time. Posters, brochures and new schedules announcing the schedule changes are being distributed onboard all Bee-Line buses. New schedules are also available online at www.westchestergov.com/beelinebus or by calling the Bee-Line HOTLINE at 914-813-7777. Looks like Bee Line has an increase in riders before MetroCard is even accepted. Soon will be the W60 and W61 (and possibly W62)'s turn to get service increases when they become alternatives for the Bx12, Bx12 LIMITED, and Bx22 due to MetroCard.... I wonder how much service can Westchester add before they become like Nassau and stop funding any additional service... |
