BEELINE Bus Schedule: Routes, Times & Stops
BeeLine bus schedule usually means the Bee-Line Bus System operated for Westchester County, New York. Riders use it for local Westchester trips, Bronx subway connections, Metro-North station access, school/work commutes, shopping, medical trips, and the BxM4C Westchester-Manhattan express route.
This guide helps you find the right Bee-Line route, read times correctly, check updated schedules after the Sept. 7, 2026 service change, confirm fare/payment rules, use live arrival tools, understand stop signs, and avoid boarding the wrong direction.
How to Find the Correct Bee-Line Bus Schedule
Open the official Bee-Line timetables page, choose your route number, select your direction, then check the timepoint closest to your stop. Bee-Line operates many routes, so there is no single schedule for every Bee-Line bus. For exact arrival at a specific stop, use the official schedule together with Google Maps real-time information or another agency-supported live tool.
Start with the route number, such as 1, 2, 5, 6, 20, 40, 60, 61, 62, or BxM4C.
Match the destination sign and the terminal name before boarding.
Use the stop sign, Ride-Guide, stop ID, or map pin.
Local fares, reduced fare, OMNY cap, and BxM4C premium fare differ.
Traffic, detours, weather, and cancellations can change live arrival.

Popular Bee-Line Routes and What They Help You Do
Bee-Line has many local, limited, express, shuttle, and commuter-style routes. The examples below are not a full timetable; they are a practical route finder so riders can quickly choose the correct schedule source.
Route 1 — College / Tarrytown / White Plains
Useful for riders traveling between northern or central Westchester points and White Plains-area connections. Check branches and direction carefully because Route 1-related patterns may not serve every stop on every trip.
Route 20 — Bronx / White Plains
One of the most important Bee-Line corridors for Westchester-to-Bronx travel. It can help riders connect toward White Plains, Central Avenue areas, Cross County, and Bronx subway/bus connections depending on the trip.
Route 60 — Bronx / New Rochelle / White Plains
A key east-west corridor linking the Bronx, New Rochelle, and White Plains. Riders should check direction and current weekday schedule because Route 60 was included in the Sept. 2026 adjustment list.
Route 40 — Mount Vernon / White Plains / Medical Center
Useful for riders traveling between Mount Vernon, White Plains, and Westchester Medical Center-related destinations. Always confirm the exact timepoint because hospital/medical trips often require a tighter arrival window.
Routes 61 / 62 — Bronx / New Rochelle / Port Chester / White Plains
These routes help riders travel across the eastern side of the Bee-Line network. Because similar route numbers may serve different terminals, confirm whether your bus goes toward New Rochelle, Port Chester, White Plains, or the Bronx.
BxM4C / Route 28 — Westchester-Manhattan Express
The BxM4C is different from regular local Bee-Line service because it is a premium express route to Manhattan. Do not assume local fare, local transfers, or local stop patterns apply to this route.
How to Read Bee-Line Bus Times Correctly
Bee-Line schedules are route-specific and direction-specific. A time printed under one timepoint is not automatically the exact time at every nearby stop. For the most accurate trip, choose your route, direction, date, stop, and closest timepoint, then recheck live arrival shortly before leaving.
| Schedule item | What it means | What the rider should do | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| First bus | The first scheduled trip from a specific terminal or timepoint. | Confirm the terminal and direction. A mid-route stop will usually be later than the first terminal departure. | Thinking the first bus time applies to every stop. |
| Last bus | The final scheduled trip from one direction or terminal. | Check your return direction before you leave, especially at night or on Sunday/holiday schedules. | Checking only the outbound last trip. |
| Weekday / Saturday / Sunday | Different day types can have different spans, frequencies, and gaps. | Select the correct service day, especially after the Sept. 7, 2026 service changes. | Assuming Saturday and Sunday are identical. |
| Frequency | How often buses are scheduled, such as frequent peak service or longer off-peak gaps. | Use the timetable instead of assuming even spacing. Some Bee-Line routes are not evenly spaced all day. | Waiting without checking the next exact departure. |
| Live arrival | A same-day prediction based on real-time bus information where available. | Use Google Maps or another supported live tool, then recheck before leaving. | Treating a live prediction as guaranteed. |
Bee-Line Bus Fare, OMNY, Cash, Transfers and Passes
Bee-Line fare rules changed with the OMNY rollout in 2026. Local riders should plan around OMNY tap-and-go, remaining valid MetroCard handling during the transition, coins/cash where accepted, reduced fare rules, and separate BxM4C premium express fare rules.
The local base fare increased by 25 cents from the old $2.75 fare when OMNY launched. Always check the official fare page before publishing exact fare changes.
Reduced fare applies to eligible seniors, riders with disabilities, and valid reduced-fare customers. Proof and account rules apply.
OMNY’s standard 7-day cap includes Westchester Bee-Line local trips. Reduced-fare riders have a lower cap. Express trips are treated separately.
The Westchester-Manhattan Express uses premium fare rules. Do not assume local Bee-Line transfers or local OMNY caps apply.
Local Bee-Line and BxM4C express fare rules are different.
OMNY card, contactless bank card, phone, watch, MetroCard transition, or coins.
Transfer rules depend on payment type and route type.
For OMNY fare capping, tap the same card or device for each paid ride.
Have fare ready before the bus reaches your stop.
Bee-Line Bus Stops: Use the Sign, Direction and Ride-Guide
Bee-Line buses pick up and drop off at designated bus stops. Official guidance says Bee-Line bus stops are marked with blue and white Bee-Line signs, and the Ride-Guide box at a stop can show route number, route map, stop-specific schedule, and special service messages.
Example Map: White Plains TransCenter
White Plains is one of Bee-Line’s major transit hubs and a useful map example for many routes. Use this map for orientation only; your final schedule source should be the official Bee-Line route timetable and same-day live arrival tool.
- Confirm your exact Bee-Line route number before using any map.
- Check whether your trip uses a regular stop, bay, or transfer center.
- Use the official system map for route shape and major corridors.
- Use Google Maps or supported live tools for real-time arrival estimates.
Scheduled Time vs Live Bee-Line Arrival
Scheduled time is the planned timetable. Live arrival is a same-day prediction based on real-time vehicle information where available. Traffic, detours, road work, weather, special events, GPS issues, and trip cancellations can change live arrival.
Use Google Maps or the real-time tool recommended by Bee-Line for your route.
Enter the Bee-Line route number, not only the street name.
Match the destination shown on the bus sign and timetable.
Use stop name, stop ID, nearby intersection, map pin, or bus bay.
Check again before walking out because predictions can change quickly.
Bee-Line Alerts and 2026 Service Changes
Bee-Line alerts and schedule changes can affect route timing, stop location, transfers, and late-day service. Riders should treat the official Bee-Line route page as the final source before travel, especially after a published service change.
Accessibility Details to Check Before a Bee-Line Trip
Accessibility is route-specific and stop-specific. A route may use accessible vehicles, but a stop can still be affected by curb condition, sidewalk gaps, construction, snow, temporary relocation, lighting, or a blocked boarding area.
How to Avoid Missing the Bee-Line Bus
- Search by route number, not only “BeeLine bus schedule.”
- Open the official Bee-Line timetable and map page.
- Select the right route, direction, date, and timepoint.
- Check whether the route has a weekday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday schedule.
- Confirm stop sign, route number, stop direction, and destination sign.
- Use OMNY or have exact coin/cash fare ready where accepted.
- Check live arrival shortly before leaving.
- Arrive at least 5 minutes early; use 10–15 minutes for transfer centers.
- Check alerts, detours, and seasonal service notes.
- Plan the return trip before your outbound trip, especially at night.
Bee-Line Phone Number and Rider Help
