WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER ANNOUNCES

BEE-LINE’S SUMMER VACATION ON FARES THROUGH LABOR DAY.

(White Plains, NY) – Where do you want to go today? Bee-Line buses are here for your work, play and summer beach day! Westchester County Executive George Latimer is announcing the County’s free rides program will begin on June 1, 2022 and run through Labor Day. With gas prices continuing to rise, and with gas prices traditionally peaking after the Memorial Day holiday for the summer, the Bee-Line Bus System offers a cleaner, greener, more cost-effective way for residents to travel the County. Latimer is encouraging Westchester County residents to ditch the pump, and get free rides all summer long on the Bee-Line.

 

Wednesday, June 1

10:30 a.m.

The promotion is valid on all routes in the fixed route bus system, including the express route into Manhattan, the BxM4C. Free rides are also valid on the Bee-Line ParaTransit system.

 

Latimer said: “Now is a perfect time to try out the Bee-Line system if you haven’t already. We take great pride in the fact that our buses are safe, clean and accessible.  Leave the driving to us and save some money this summer.  From Yorktown to Yonkers, we have a robust system that can get you where you need to go.”

 

For more information about the free rides program call (914) 813-7777. An information agent is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

 

The Bee-Line is Westchester County's bus system, serving over 27 million passengers annually with convenient service connecting residents to jobs, recreation, shopping and other regional transportation services. It is the second largest transit bus fleet in New York State, operated by the County’s Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T).

 

Over 65 percent of all Westchester County residents are within walking distance of a Bee-Line bus route, making the bus both close and convenient. The system has over 3,300 bus stops and almost 60 routes. All Bee-Line buses are accessible, and designed with many accessibility features including “kneeling” buses, ramps and lifts.
