Bee-Line System Page

 

Bus service in Westchester County, immediately north of the New York borough of the Bronx, is provided by the Bee-Line Bus System.  Dating back to the 1970s, the Bee-Line was created as a merger of thirteen different bus agencies and most routes are now operated by Yonkers-based Liberty Lines Transit, Inc.  In addition to bus service throughout Westchester County, Bee-Line routes also operate into the Bronx to connect with the New York City Subway, including an express route into Manhattan, and one route operates into Putman County.  There are 347 buses in the fleet, consisting of Orion V and VII, Neoplan AM460Q and NABI 40LFW buses.
