We can go back and forth, the fact is the Bee-line will not do anymore in NYC than it already does. Too many of you are thinking MetroCard coming to the Bee-Line, will mean Bee-Line will start doing NYCTA buses work. It won't. It is funded by Westchester and Westchester taxpayers, it is simple as that. MetroCard is being brought here, due to the fact that Westchester residents who use the Bee-line also use the NYC buses and subways. It makes it easier for them. The 60, 61 , and 62 is doing a service for NYCDOT, which NYCDOT has to pay WCDOT for. Nothing comes free.Like I said if the MTA, or NYCDOT wants to pay the WCDOT for supplemental service, then that is fine with us Westchester residents. The people waiting in New Rochelle, Pelham etc, do not need to wait longer for a 60 bus, that is picking up and dropping off along Pelham P'way/Fordham Rd. Last for the BxM3 Westchester does pay for that service, as Westchester pays for Metro-North service. Like I said nothing comes free. The MTA would stop the bus at the border (where the Bx9 stops), if this was not the case. Maybe since the 60, 61 ,and 62 serves Boston Rd, in the Bronx, the WCDOT got the BxM3 into Yonkers. Even trade. The Bx16 has a stop at the border, that is still technically NYC, just as the Bx34 end so close to Yonkers, that I could throw a brick like a school girl, and smash the window, while still being in Yonkers. The border lines are crooked not straight. Again MetroCard is just a new way for Westchester Bee-line riders to pay, and transfer to NYCTA transportation, and vice-versa. As long as the WCDOT runs the Bee-Line, the buses will run as is. MetroCard will change nothing, especially like doing NYCTA buses jobs, in the Bronx (except Boston Rd). Customers here do not need to wait longer, as the headways suck as is. Last the 93 was discontinued due to low/empty ridership. The 92 should go bye-bye due to this also, but there is no good alternative from White Plains, except taking the 13 to the 76. When the 91 did not run (as it use to start in late June) and Playland opened in May, I had to take 3 buses, Mon-Fri (3, to the 13, to the 76), and 4 buses on Sunday to get there (25, to the, 20, to the 13 which I waited an hour for, to the 76, which I waited another hour for). I see you state what might happen, but it won't and I am telling you why, just as other have tried. MetroCard does not make the Bee-Line part of MTA, or NYCTA, nor will it. It just means a MetroCard farebox will be in a Westchester County owned and operated bus, to make it convienent for those who use to both systems. That is it. If the MTA were to take over the Bee-Line, then huge changes like what you state might happen, would happen. |
