Empty mega bus on Park Ave. Would this be tolerated where Common Council members live?

Private bus on residential Park Ave. waiting to turn left onto North Broadway at 6:30 PM this evening. Sign on the bus: Pepsi to train station. It was empty, probably heading back to Purchase to pick up another couple of corporate passengers.



Why was this bus on Park Ave.? One reason is that Hamilton Ave., which has zero residential buildings, is ONE WAY in the wrong direction for use by the many empty and almost empty buses leaving the train station: private, regional, county Bee Line. Any casual observation during the day will show a VERY low percentage of seats occupied by passengers. It's impossible to see how this benefits the majority of White Plains residents who live in apartments downtown.

Would Common Council members tolerate this on the streets where they live? The commissioners? No way.

So how about the administration checking this out? Show some interest, even if I'm the only one making it an issue.

How about the media doing more than putting a camera on a tripod and covering yet another statement about something that impacts a very low percentage of White Plains residents. How about those who write for stuff that people read, checking it?

How about administration people joining me for random walk arounds to observe the obvious? It won't take long to see.

And the City wants many more mega buses to enter downtown White Plains from the new bridge over the Hudson? That would turn the area near the train station into a vast wasteland, maybe even worse than now.
