Bee-Line Revealed as Backbone of Westchester Employment | Mobilizing the Region

Bee-Line Revealed as Backbone of Westchester Employment | Mobilizing the Region: "Westchester County’s Bee-Line bus system hit record ridership numbers last year (32.3 million), and a recent survey has revealed a transit-dependent and diverse ridership that relies on the system primarily to get to work. Unfortunately, at a time that riders’ incomes have taken a substantial hit, the bus they ride to work faces an uncertain future. The continuing local, state and federal budget battles could translate into service cuts and fare raises for a demographic, and community, that can hardly afford it."
