- Wednesday, Dec. 7 to Monday, Dec. 26.
"This holiday season, we want people to visit with family and friends, and we want them to shop and go to work with ease. Leave the driving to us, and save some money this holiday season. From Yorktown to Yonkers, we have a robust system that can get you where you need to go," County Executive George Latimer said.
The county has made improvements to its bus fleet, including the addition of 106 new hybrid/electric buses, Department of Public Works & Transportation Commissioner Hugh Greechan said.
