Find Bee-Line Bus Routes, Schedule Times, Stops, Fares and NYC Connections
Westchester County’s Bee-Line network links communities across the county with major hubs in White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon, while selected routes continue into the Bronx, Manhattan and neighboring areas.
Use this guide to choose the right Bee-Line route, understand current 2026 fare and OMNY changes, identify your stop and destination sign, find route PDFs, plan transfers and check service changes before you travel.
Start With Your Destination, Not Just a Bee-Line Route Number
Bee-Line buses serve more than 3,300 designated stops, and many corridors have multiple branches, short-turn trips, express variants or different terminal destinations. The number alone does not always tell the whole story.
Traveling within Westchester?
Start with the town, major street, Metro-North station, shopping center, hospital or transit hub you need.
Connecting to New York City?
Several Bee-Line routes enter the Bronx, where riders can connect with MTA subway and bus services.
Going to Manhattan?
BxM4C is a separate weekday express service with a higher fare than local Bee-Line routes.
Using a printed timetable?
Check the destination name, service day, schedule revision and any lettered route variant before choosing a trip.
Important 2026 warning: some older official pages and archived fare information can still show pre-OMNY instructions or older prices. Bee-Line began countywide OMNY service on January 4, 2026, so use current fare and route information rather than an undated screenshot.
Three Bee-Line Updates That Matter Before You Use an Older Schedule
OMNY launched across Bee-Line
All Bee-Line buses were equipped for OMNY, bringing contactless card, smartphone, smartwatch and OMNY-card payment to the system.
This also changed the best way to think about transfers and fare capping.
Multiple route schedules changed
Westchester County announced schedule changes for routes 1T, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 25, 30, 32, 34, 39, 42, 60 and 78.
If you saved one of those timetables before mid-March, reopen the current route schedule.
BxM4C fare returned to $7.75
Westchester County confirmed the BxM4C full fare at $7.75 after a temporary OMNY implementation issue.
The reduced BxM4C fare is $3.85 during qualifying off-peak periods.
Freshness rule: when an older PDF, fare page and current service notice disagree, do not automatically trust the oldest document simply because it is still hosted on an official domain. Look for the latest effective date and current agency notice.
Bee-Line network at a glance
Where the Westchester Bee-Line System Goes
Bee-Line is managed by Westchester County’s transportation department. The network has approximately 60 routes, a fleet of roughly 325 vehicles and more than 3,300 designated bus stops.
Service is concentrated around major Westchester hubs while selected routes extend into the Bronx, Manhattan and Putnam County. Northern county service is especially important around Peekskill, Ossining and Yorktown.
White Plains
A major Bee-Line hub with local, limited, commuter and BxM4C connections.
Yonkers
Getty Square and Nepperhan-area routes connect local neighborhoods with the Bronx and other Westchester cities.
New Rochelle
The transportation center connects several east and south county routes.
Mount Vernon
Petrillo Plaza and nearby corridors connect with Bronx-bound and cross-county routes.
Peekskill
Northern routes connect Peekskill with Cortlandt, Yorktown and Metro-North service.

Popular Bee-Line Route Families and What They Are Useful For
Bee-Line has many individual routes, so the fastest way to choose one is often by corridor or destination rather than scrolling through route numbers without context.
Routes 1, 1C, 1T and 1W — Riverdale / Yonkers / Central Westchester
This family connects the Riverdale/Van Cortlandt Park area of the Bronx with Yonkers and selected Westchester destinations.
1: Core Bronx–Yonkers pattern1C / 1T: Weekday variants1W: Weekday and Saturday variantUse for: Yonkers and central-county connections
Evening and Sunday patterns are not identical to weekday branch service, so check the exact variant rather than assuming every “1” bus reaches the same terminal.
Routes 40, 41 and 43 — Mount Vernon / Bronx / Medical Center Connections
These routes serve important south-to-central Westchester travel patterns, including Mount Vernon, Bronx connections and Westchester Medical Center service.
40: Local corridor41: Limited/express pattern43: Wakefield / medical-center corridorUse for: Medical and cross-county trips
Some Route 40 trips extend farther than others. Destination signs matter because the same route number may terminate before your intended stop.
Route 61 does not publish Sunday service, while Route 60 and Route 62 have different stopping and service patterns. Do not interchange their schedules.
Route 12 — White Plains / Armonk / Westchester County Airport
Route 12 connects White Plains with Armonk and has a weekend pattern serving Westchester County Airport.
Hub: White Plains TransCenterMain destination: ArmonkWeekend feature: Airport serviceUse for: Northern business / airport corridor
Airport travelers should check the current weekend timetable carefully; do not assume the weekday Armonk pattern and weekend airport pattern are identical.
Bee-Line also operates routes designed around Metro-North station connections, including routes serving Croton-Harmon, Peekskill, Hartsdale, Scarsdale and Larchmont.
These routes can be especially sensitive to peak commuting times. Check the specific train connection rather than treating them as all-day frequent local service.
Need another route? The official Liberty Lines route directory lists Bee-Line route descriptions and route PDFs. Use that directory when your route is not one of the representative corridors above.
Bee-Line Is More Than One Type of Bus Service
Local Routes
Frequent-stop routes serve neighborhoods, major streets, shopping areas, rail stations, schools, hospitals and transit centers.
Examples include 4, 5, 7, 20, 25, 40, 42, 45 and 60.
Limited / Express Patterns
Routes such as 1X, 17, 20X, 21, 41, 43, 62 and 77 use faster or more restricted stopping patterns.
Do not assume they stop everywhere a parallel local bus stops.
Commuter Connections
Selected routes are designed around Metro-North stations and employment destinations.
These can have stronger weekday peak patterns than general local routes.
Seasonal Service
Playland routes operate according to seasonal needs rather than a permanent year-round schedule.
Always confirm dates before planning around routes 75 or 91.
Service-day traps
Weekday, Saturday and Sunday Bee-Line Schedules Are Not Interchangeable
A route may run every day, only Monday through Friday, or have a shorter weekend pattern. Some route variants disappear entirely on Sundays.
Route / Family
Service Pattern to Watch
Why It Matters
1 / 1C / 1T / 1W
Branches differ by weekday, Saturday, evening and Sunday
A branch destination available during the week may not exist on Sunday
26
No Sunday service listed
A normal weekday commute cannot be assumed on Sunday
30
No Sunday service; school-related variations
School days can alter individual trips
32
Weekday-only loop service
Weekend trip planning requires another route
53 / 54
Rush-hour-focused weekday service
These are not all-day routes
61
No Sunday service listed
Fordham–Port Chester riders need a Sunday alternative
63
Weekday variants; Saturday Route 63; no Sunday service
Suffix routes cannot be assumed every day
BxM4C
Weekday express
Do not plan a weekend Manhattan trip around BxM4C
75 / 91
Seasonal
The route can disappear outside the Playland season
School service deserves special attention. Certain Bee-Line routes publish school-day trips or short turns. A school-calendar trip should not be presented as a normal year-round departure.
Current 2026 payment guide
Bee-Line Fares, OMNY, Transfers and Fare Capping
Bee-Line moved into the OMNY payment system on January 4, 2026. Riders can use a supported contactless bank card, digital wallet, wearable device or OMNY card on equipped Bee-Line buses.
Local Full Fare$3.00
Standard Bee-Line local bus fare following the January 2026 fare change.
Local Reduced Fare$1.50
Available to eligible reduced-fare riders under current rules.
BxM4C Full Fare$7.75
Weekday Bee-Line express fare to and from Manhattan.
BxM4C Reduced$3.85
Reduced fare during qualifying off-peak periods.
Choose one payment method
1
Use the same OMNY card, bank card or device consistently.
Tap when boarding
)))
Present the same payment credential to the reader.
Transfer correctly
2h
Eligible local transfers generally use a two-hour window.
Keep using the same card
$
Changing cards or devices can prevent OMNY from recognizing the same rider.
Reach the fare cap
7D
Eligible local rides can count toward OMNY’s seven-day fare cap.
Full-fare seven-day cap
OMNY’s current seven-day full-fare cap is $35 for qualifying local transit rides when the same payment method is used.
Reduced-fare seven-day cap
The corresponding reduced-fare cap is $17.50 for riders enrolled in the qualifying reduced-fare program.
BxM4C is different: express rides are not treated like ordinary local Bee-Line trips for the standard local fare cap. Check the current OMNY fare rules before depending on a cap for express commuting.
MetroCard transition: MetroCard sales and reloads ended at the end of 2025. Because acceptance rules continue to transition during 2026, use the current OMNY guidance instead of an older Bee-Line page that still describes MetroCard as the primary payment method.
Bee-Line Transfers to the Bronx, Subway, Metro-North and Manhattan
One of Bee-Line’s biggest practical advantages is that its network is not isolated from New York City transportation. Several routes terminate near Bronx subway stations or major MTA bus connections.
Westchester Stop
Board the correct Bee-Line route and direction.
County Hub
White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle or Mount Vernon may provide additional route choices.
Bronx Terminal
Selected routes enter Riverdale, Bedford Park, Fordham, Wakefield or Pelham Bay.
OMNY Transfer
Use the same eligible payment credential when transferring.
Subway / MTA Bus
Continue toward your New York City destination.
Metro-North
Separate Bee-Line routes connect with several commuter-rail stations.
Manhattan Express
Use BxM4C only when its weekday express schedule and higher fare fit the trip.
Van Cortlandt Park / 242nd Street
Route 1-family service provides a connection between Westchester/Yonkers and the northern end of the Broadway subway corridor.
Bedford Park / Lehman College
Route 20-family service connects Westchester riders with a major Bronx transit area.
Fordham
Routes 60, 61 and 62 provide important east-Westchester/Bronx links.
Wakefield
Selected Routes 40, 42, 43 and related patterns connect with the northern Bronx.
Pelham Bay Park
Route 45 provides a direct Bee-Line connection between New Rochelle-area service and the Bronx.
Metro-North stations
Several Bee-Line routes serve White Plains, Peekskill, Croton-Harmon, Hartsdale, Scarsdale, Larchmont and other stations.
Transfer planning tip: save the Bee-Line route, the Bronx or rail transfer point and the second service separately. A delayed first bus can invalidate a connection that looks comfortable on a static map.
3,300+ designated stops
How to Recognize and Use a Bee-Line Bus Stop
Bee-Line buses pick up and discharge passengers at designated stops. Standard stops are identified by the blue-and-white Bee-Line sign, while many poles also include a Ride-Guide with stop-specific information.
Bee-Line Sign
Confirms that the location is an official stop.
Route Number
Shows which Bee-Line routes serve that pole.
Direction
Match the destination and side of the street.
Stop Schedule
Ride-Guides may provide times specific to that stop.
Holiday Notes
The guide can identify special holiday service.
Alternate Routing
Branches or alternate destinations may be shown.
Wrong-side-of-street problem: two Bee-Line stops at the same intersection may serve opposite directions. Match the destination displayed on the approaching bus, not just the road name.
The electronic destination sign above the windshield normally shows the route number and final destination. That destination should correspond with the schedule or Ride-Guide you used.
If the destination sign is unclear, ask the operator before paying your fare rather than discovering several stops later that the bus is headed toward another terminal.
How to Read a Bee-Line Bus Schedule Correctly
Confirm the complete route label.
Route 1, 1C, 1T and 1W are not interchangeable, and Route 20 and 20X do not have identical stopping patterns.
Choose the direction by final destination.
The destination sign is usually more reliable than assuming “northbound” or “southbound” on a route that bends through several municipalities.
Select the correct service day.
Use weekday, Saturday, Sunday or seasonal service as appropriate.
Find the nearest listed timepoint.
Printed schedule tables usually show selected major stops rather than all 3,300+ Bee-Line stops.
Read footnotes and symbols.
Short turns, school trips, express sections, restricted boarding and seasonal service can be explained only in a timetable note.
Check the revision date.
Routes affected by the March 16, 2026 service change should not be planned from an older saved timetable.
Check service alerts before departure.
Construction, weather, events and canceled trips can override the printed schedule.
A dash can mean “this trip does not serve this timepoint.”
Do not automatically interpret a blank or dash as a printing mistake.
A route number can have multiple terminals.
Compare the column, destination and footnote rather than reading only the first departure time in the row.
Official maps and timetable documents
Where to Get Bee-Line Route PDFs and Current Schedule Maps
Bee-Line route PDFs are distributed through the system’s official/operator route directory. Direct PDF file addresses can change when schedules are replaced, so the live route directory is safer than hard-coding an older document URL into a rider guide.
Route Schedule Directory
Choose your route number, read the route description and open the corresponding current route schedule or PDF.
Open Bee-Line Route Directory
Westchester County Transit

Official Bus-Stop GIS Data
Westchester County also maintains geographic transportation data containing Bee-Line stop and route information.

Why there is no forced PDF iframe here: a direct schedule-file URL should be embedded only when its current official address and revision can be verified. A beautifully embedded but obsolete timetable is worse than a current route-directory link.
What to Extract From a Bee-Line PDF Before Traveling
Route number and suffix.
Final destination for your direction.
Weekday, Saturday or Sunday table.
First useful timepoint before your stop.
Last useful timepoint after your stop.
Short-turn or branch notes.
School-day or seasonal notes.
Express or limited-stop restrictions.
Effective or revision date.
Transfer location and connecting route.
Before you leave
Bee-Line Service Alerts, Schedule Changes and Detours
Static timetables describe planned service. Temporary detours and cancellations can change the actual boarding location or arrival time without changing the permanent route number.
March 16, 2026 schedule group
Recheck routes 1T, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 25, 30, 32, 34, 39, 42, 60 and 78 if you saved an older timetable.
Road construction
A temporary stop may move to the next block, opposite corner or another nearby street.
Severe weather
Snow, flooding and storms can affect vehicle travel times and the usability of individual stops.
School-day service
School-related departures should be verified against the current school/service calendar.
Seasonal service
Routes 75 and 91 should be checked for current Playland operating dates.
Express trips
Limited or express buses can pass stops that a parallel local route serves.
Time-critical trip? For a hospital appointment, job shift, flight or rail connection, confirm the current timetable and active service information shortly before departure.
Bee-Line Accessibility, Wheelchairs and Mobility Devices
Bee-Line provides accessible fixed-route service, and Liberty Lines advises riders who need a lower first step that a bus can be lowered or “kneeled” for easier boarding.
Ask for the bus to kneel
Tell the operator when lowering the entrance will make boarding safer.
Mobility-device boarding
Allow the operator space and time to deploy accessibility equipment and secure the mobility device when required.
Priority space
Keep priority and wheelchair areas available for riders who need them.
Stop conditions matter
An accessible bus does not guarantee that a temporary stop has the same curb, sidewalk or boarding conditions as the permanent location.
Service animals
Follow Bee-Line and ADA service-animal rules rather than general pet rules.
Need door-to-door-type assistance?
Riders unable to use the fixed-route system because of a disability may qualify for Bee-Line ParaTransit.
ADA complementary service
Bee-Line ParaTransit Eligibility and Service Area
Bee-Line ParaTransit is a shared-ride, advance-reservation ADA service for eligible people whose disabilities prevent them from using fixed-route buses for some or all trips.
Service relationship
ParaTransit generally mirrors the fixed-route network rather than functioning as an unlimited countywide taxi service.
Distance rule
Eligible trip origins and destinations are generally within three-quarters of a mile of a regular Bee-Line route.
Operating-time rule
The corresponding fixed route must normally be operating during the requested ParaTransit trip period.
Eligibility office
Westchester County Office for People with Disabilities handles ParaTransit eligibility.
When calling about a trip: provide the route number, route suffix if any, direction, boarding stop, destination, date and approximate travel time. That is much more useful than saying only “the Bee-Line bus was late.”
Bee-Line Lost & Found: What to Do After Leaving Something on a Bus
Liberty Lines publishes a dedicated lost-property contact for Bee-Line riders.
Operator address
Liberty Lines Transit
475 Saw Mill River Road

Practical Bee-Line Trip Examples
Yonkers to the Bronx
Check Route 1-family or other Bronx-bound options, then match the destination sign to the subway or neighborhood connection you need.
Central Avenue commute
Compare Route 20 and 20X. The faster-looking route is useful only if its stopping pattern serves your boarding and exit locations.
White Plains to Manhattan
Compare BxM4C’s weekday express schedule and higher fare with a Bee-Line-to-rail or Bee-Line-to-subway combination.
Weekend airport trip
Check the current Route 12 weekend timetable before using Bee-Line for Westchester County Airport.
Hospital trip
Routes serving Westchester Medical Center can have local and faster variants. Allow extra time when the appointment cannot tolerate a missed connection.
Playland trip
Confirm seasonal service dates for routes 75 or 91 before assuming the route operates.
Bee-Line Checklist Before You Leave
Confirm the complete route number and suffix.
Check the final destination for your direction.
Choose weekday, Saturday, Sunday or seasonal service.
Verify that your PDF or timetable is current.
Check whether the route changed in March 2026.
Save the boarding stop or Ride-Guide information.
Look for a short turn, school trip or express restriction.
Prepare OMNY or another currently accepted payment method.
Use the same OMNY payment credential for transfers.
Allow extra time for subway, rail or bus connections.
Check active alerts shortly before departure.
Save 914-813-7777 for route-information help.
Bee-Line Schedule Problems and the Right Next Step
The timetable and stop sign disagree
Check the timetable revision date and current service notice. A recently changed route may still have an older screenshot circulating online.
The route number is right but the destination is wrong
Do not board until you confirm whether the bus is a branch, short turn or opposite-direction trip.
The bus did not stop
Confirm you were at a designated Bee-Line stop and that the approaching vehicle actually served that stop rather than an express or limited pattern.
Your old fare page says $2.75
That reflects pre-January-2026 local pricing. Current local full fare is $3.00.
An older page says Bee-Line does not take OMNY
That information predates the January 4, 2026 countywide OMNY launch.
You need Sunday service
Verify the exact route. Some Bee-Line routes or variants do not operate Sundays.
You need the last bus
Do not use a generic system operating span. Open the route-specific timetable and direction because final departures vary by route and terminal.
You missed a rail connection
Recalculate the full trip using the next Bee-Line departure and next train rather than assuming the same transfer will remain available.
