The system is owned by the county's Department of Public Works and Transportation. ==History== The system was founded on May 1, 1978, by the then Westchester County Department of Transportation to consolidate the bus system with thirteen private bus companies and has been given control over the buses, fare structure, routes, and services. By the 1980s, the bus system had an identity problem in who was providing the service. On May 19, 1987, WCDOT officially named the bus service "The Bee-Line System" with a 'bee-in-flight' mascot.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.utrc2.org/sites/default/files/pubs/Singh-Report.pdf |title=Variable Fares for Elderly & Handicapped Transit Riders: An Analysis of Westchester County }}&nbsp;{{small|(1.25 MB)}}</ref> The Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation currently contracts out to two private bus companies to provide service in Westchester County and the surrounding counties: [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]]-based [[Liberty Lines Transit, Inc.]], the main company that either bought out or obtained franchises from the other twelve bus companies over the years, operates buses on all but three bus routes; and [[Cortlandt Manor, New York|Cortlandt Manor]]-based P.T.L.A. Enterprise, Inc., a small company that operates buses on routes 16, 18, and 31. ==Scope of service== [[File:Valhalla Bee-line HQ jeh.jpg|thumb|left|The Cerrato Satellite Bus Facility in Valhalla]] Most Bee-Line routes operate seven days a week. There is no service county-wide on two days of the calendar year, [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] (the fourth Thursday in November), and [[Christmas]] (December 25). ===Within Westchester=== {{main|List of bus routes in Westchester County}} The system's 64 routes are mostly concentrated in the more urban southern portion of the county, with the cities of [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]], [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]], and [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]] receiving a high frequency of service. [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], the county seat and most centrally located city, is a major transportation hub with many routes converging on the city's TransCenter. Service in the northern portion of Westchester is sparse and is concentrated near slightly populated areas such as [[Mount Kisco]], [[Ossining (village), New York|Ossining]], or [[Peekskill]]. Areas such as [[Bedford Hills, New York|Bedford Hills]], [[Lewisboro, New York|Lewisboro]], [[North Salem, New York|North Salem]], and [[Pound Ridge, New York|Pound Ridge]] receive paratransit service only. During the school year, special bus routes also operate. All but the county's smallest, most rural communities have at least [[rush hour]] service.<ref name=Bee-Line-Service>{{cite web |url= http://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/SysMapENG28june.pdf |date= 2011 |title= Bee-Line System map |website= transportation.westchestergov.com |access-date= 2012-01-01 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151018142502/http://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/SysMapENG28june.pdf |archive-date= 2015-10-18 |url-status= dead }}&nbsp;{{small|(4.64 MB)}}</ref> ===Outside Westchester=== Because Westchester County borders on the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[the Bronx]], many of the Bee-Line's routes operate into the Bronx, offering Westchester residents connections to [[MTA New York City Transit]] [[MTA Regional Bus Operations|bus]] and [[New York City Subway|subways]]; at least one Bee-Line route connects to every [[List of New York City Subway services|subway line]] serving in the Bronx. The Bee-Line System also operates an express route, the '''BxM4C''' from White Plains, [[Greenburgh, New York|Greenburgh]], [[Hartsdale, New York|Hartsdale]], [[Scarsdale, New York|Scarsdale]], and Yonkers along [[New York State Route 100|Central Park Avenue]] to [[Fifth Avenue]] in [[Manhattan]] (return trips operate on [[Madison Avenue]] within Manhattan). Bee-Line operates mostly closed-door service in the Bronx (local service is not provided solely for travel within the Bronx; appropriate MTA Regional Bus Operations service must be used instead). The only exceptions are: * '''Route 8''', which terminates at the [[College of Mount Saint Vincent]] on the Bronx/Yonkers border; * '''Routes 40, 41, 42 and 43''', which run along [[White Plains Road]] north of the [[Wakefield – 241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Wakefield – 241st Street]] subway terminal; * '''Route 45''', which serves the [[Pelham Bay Park (IRT Pelham Line)|Pelham Bay Park]] subway terminal, the Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Course, and the [[Bartow-Pell Mansion]]; * '''Route 54''', which runs on Mundy Lane along the Bronx/Mount Vernon border, since no other bus routes travel entirely through these areas; * and '''Routes 60 and 61''', which run along [[U.S. Route 1 in New York|US Route 1]] ([[Fordham Road|East Fordham]] and [[Boston Post Road|Boston]] roads in the Bronx). In addition, '''Route 12''' (Armonk-Purchase-White Plains) briefly enters [[Greenwich, Connecticut]] along [[New York State Route 120A|King Street]], in which it makes stops in Greenwich and [[Rye Brook, New York]] along the New York/Connecticut border; '''Route 77''' enters [[Putnam County, New York|Putnam County]] to serve the [[U.S. Route 6 in New York|US Route 6]] corridor between [[Mahopac, New York|Mahopac]] and [[Carmel, New York|Carmel]]; and '''Route 16''' briefly enters Putnam County to serve the Mahopac Village Centre.<ref name="Bee-Line-Service"/> ==Fares== {{see also|New York City transit fares}} All fares require exact change or [[MetroCard (New York City)|MetroCard]].

The system is owned by the county's Department of Public Works and Transportation. ==History== The system was founded on May 1, 1978, by the then Westchester County Department of Transportation to consolidate the bus system with thirteen private bus companies and has been given control over the buses, fare structure, routes, and services. By the 1980s, the bus system had an identity problem in who was providing the service. On May 19, 1987, WCDOT officially named the bus service "The Bee-Line System" with a 'bee-in-flight' mascot.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.utrc2.org/sites/default/files/pubs/Singh-Report.pdf |title=Variable Fares for Elderly & Handicapped Transit Riders: An Analysis of Westchester County }}&nbsp;{{small|(1.25 MB)}}</ref> The Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation currently contracts out to two private bus companies to provide service in Westchester County and the surrounding counties: [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]]-based [[Liberty Lines Transit, Inc.]], the main company that either bought out or obtained franchises from the other twelve bus companies over the years, operates buses on all but three bus routes; and [[Cortlandt Manor, New York|Cortlandt Manor]]-based P.T.L.A. Enterprise, Inc., a small company that operates buses on routes 16, 18, and 31. ==Scope of service== [[File:Valhalla Bee-line HQ jeh.jpg|thumb|left|The Cerrato Satellite Bus Facility in Valhalla]] Most Bee-Line routes operate seven days a week. There is no service county-wide on two days of the calendar year, [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] (the fourth Thursday in November), and [[Christmas]] (December 25). ===Within Westchester=== {{main|List of bus routes in Westchester County}} The system's 64 routes are mostly concentrated in the more urban southern portion of the county, with the cities of [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]], [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]], and [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]] receiving a high frequency of service. [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], the county seat and most centrally located city, is a major transportation hub with many routes converging on the city's TransCenter. Service in the northern portion of Westchester is sparse and is concentrated near slightly populated areas such as [[Mount Kisco]], [[Ossining (village), New York|Ossining]], or [[Peekskill]]. Areas such as [[Bedford Hills, New York|Bedford Hills]], [[Lewisboro, New York|Lewisboro]], [[North Salem, New York|North Salem]], and [[Pound Ridge, New York|Pound Ridge]] receive paratransit service only. During the school year, special bus routes also operate. All but the county's smallest, most rural communities have at least [[rush hour]] service.<ref name=Bee-Line-Service>{{cite web |url= http://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/SysMapENG28june.pdf |date= 2011 |title= Bee-Line System map |website= transportation.westchestergov.com |access-date= 2012-01-01 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151018142502/http://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/SysMapENG28june.pdf |archive-date= 2015-10-18 |url-status= dead }}&nbsp;{{small|(4.64 MB)}}</ref> ===Outside Westchester=== Because Westchester County borders on the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[the Bronx]], many of the Bee-Line's routes operate into the Bronx, offering Westchester residents connections to [[MTA New York City Transit]] [[MTA Regional Bus Operations|bus]] and [[New York City Subway|subways]]; at least one Bee-Line route connects to every [[List of New York City Subway services|subway line]] serving in the Bronx. The Bee-Line System also operates an express route, the '''BxM4C''' from White Plains, [[Greenburgh, New York|Greenburgh]], [[Hartsdale, New York|Hartsdale]], [[Scarsdale, New York|Scarsdale]], and Yonkers along [[New York State Route 100|Central Park Avenue]] to [[Fifth Avenue]] in [[Manhattan]] (return trips operate on [[Madison Avenue]] within Manhattan). Bee-Line operates mostly closed-door service in the Bronx (local service is not provided solely for travel within the Bronx; appropriate MTA Regional Bus Operations service must be used instead). The only exceptions are: * '''Route 8''', which terminates at the [[College of Mount Saint Vincent]] on the Bronx/Yonkers border; * '''Routes 40, 41, 42 and 43''', which run along [[White Plains Road]] north of the [[Wakefield – 241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Wakefield – 241st Street]] subway terminal; * '''Route 45''', which serves the [[Pelham Bay Park (IRT Pelham Line)|Pelham Bay Park]] subway terminal, the Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Course, and the [[Bartow-Pell Mansion]]; * '''Route 54''', which runs on Mundy Lane along the Bronx/Mount Vernon border, since no other bus routes travel entirely through these areas; * and '''Routes 60 and 61''', which run along [[U.S. Route 1 in New York|US Route 1]] ([[Fordham Road|East Fordham]] and [[Boston Post Road|Boston]] roads in the Bronx). In addition, '''Route 12''' (Armonk-Purchase-White Plains) briefly enters [[Greenwich, Connecticut]] along [[New York State Route 120A|King Street]], in which it makes stops in Greenwich and [[Rye Brook, New York]] along the New York/Connecticut border; '''Route 77''' enters [[Putnam County, New York|Putnam County]] to serve the [[U.S. Route 6 in New York|US Route 6]] corridor between [[Mahopac, New York|Mahopac]] and [[Carmel, New York|Carmel]]; and '''Route 16''' briefly enters Putnam County to serve the Mahopac Village Centre.<ref name="Bee-Line-Service"/> ==Fares== {{see also|New York City transit fares}} All fares require exact change or [[MetroCard (New York City)|MetroCard]].
