Yonkers To See Changes In Bus Routes Next Week

YONKERS, N.Y. – Bus riders may want to pay special attention to the schedule next week.

Westchester County officials have announced service changes for eight Bee-Line bus routes, effective Tuesday, Sept. 4.

The most significant change will be on Yonkers’ Route 78, officials said. The line will continue to run daily, connecting Yonkers to Stew Leonard Drive and Ridge Hill.

However, the route will be extended to operate along Tuckahoe Road, connecting to Central Park Avenue. County officials said the route extension will allow for transfers between Route 78 and Route 20/21, which operates along Central Park Avenue between the Bronx and White Plains.

In addition, Route 78’s late-night service hours will be extended until 11:40 p.m., and the line will no longer operate as a limited-stop service. Instead, it will begin serving all Bee-Line bus stops along the route.

Other changes in Yonkers include:

Route 20/21: On weekdays, between Bedford Park Boulevard and Central Park Avenue at Yonkers Avenue, trips will be added in both directions after 3:30 p.m., and there will be minor northbound schedule adjustments after 4:30 p.m.
