Easy enough to say, but it's really tough when you're a full time college student like many of my peers. Just insurance in many of these zip codes costs me upwards of $1900 for 6 months, for basic coverage. That's not including the cost of gas, registration, and repairs (necessary due to the sheer amount of salt needed on our roads in the winter).
At least the buses that connects to the bronx subway stations like the ones that goes to van cortlandt, Woodlawn, Wakefield and, dyre ave stations so it could even out the people that works in the city since metro north is not 24/7 like the city subways and bus routes.
@@s89hblr is unfair that a grown population in westchester during the years that they don’t have 24/7 service on all line’s including the ones that goes to the malls like the westchester and new rock city.

Nassau county buses stop running except, the N4 and N6. Rockland county transit is worse and Suffolk county transit buses most of their bus routes stop running at 7o'clock
Every bus stops should have a bus locator, even if its just a green light to let people know if the bus is within 10 munities of arriving, or a red light if it has already passed.
I truly believe that there's a better solution to this from both parties: Either find another bidder to operate the bus 🚌 network or have the MTA takeover the Bee-Line, rebrand as the MTA Metro North Bus, redesign the bus network, and place additional order for more busses, and hire more bus drivers under the MTA banner.
What? Bee Line is fine as is every time I’ve used it they have always arrived on time Every solution isn’t solved with sell it to MTA that would make it worse
As an employee of Liberty Lines I can tell you first hand that issues persist I’ve worked at Publicly Run Transit agencies that do a superb job this public private partnership that the county of Westchester has is disastrous take for instance the fact that there’s no service on Thanksgiving or Christmas that’s un fathomable another thing is running routes on an hourly frequency on Sunday’s because most of the work force is off on the weekends Public Transportation is supposed to take cars off the road but in some places they are forcing them back on the road because the system isn’t working as designed the MTA has the resources I believe the county doesn’t want to pay the price for the services Nassau,Suffolk & Westchester counties should form a Tri-County Authority under the MTA bringing back the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority (MSBA) splitting the operating cost 3 ways and giving the Bus Operators the choice of transferring to Depots throughout the the 3 divisions during the system pick like they do over at NYCT/OA/MTABC or just merge them into MTABC

I want to know what idiot decided to get rid of the bus lane at the Woodlawn. Now traffic its backed up for 4 blocks during rush hour because the bus has to block traffic including other buses.. Also, why is the cross walk signal at that stop over 30 seconds long? and Why is the construction taking over 3 years?
Construction is still going on to this day. Now the MTA decided they needed an accessible station at Woodlawn for some reason. They had from May until now and it's still not complete.
@@TheCinderDude It doesn't look like its going to be accessible either. I been passing almost every day and neve see any work being done. It must be a part time job, and it looks like they're just rebuilding it the same way it was, no elevator. Maybe their building an escalator but I highly doubt it.
Though some of 'em are old, those Bee-Line buses look very new...they are very well-maintained & BTW, over 95% of the time those buses arrive on schedule...real-life experience is what I got & for one of those guys in the back corner of that crowd...SMH...you could've done a better job sending out the message you attempted to send...just sayin', no hatin' over here...for real.

they have a lot of XE40s and XE60s in their fleet, its just that they feel awful to ride in considering the sheer amount of potholes in our roads. They are great busses, just weren't designed to run on roads in such disrepair as these ones.
It is kind of slow especially in cold days don't ask me why???? 45 bus the 30 bus those are the two main ones that are very slow like I said especially in cold days....
That’s because operators are deadheading off of other routes to start those routes they don’t have enough buses to allocate for straight work on every route

@@KristinesTruth Yeah that's an example of how society is super ableist too... not only is our disinvestment in public transit racist, ableist, and classist but it's self harming to all of society.

They should make bee line a 24 hr service
