I know you ignore the posts from my blog (https://white-plains-ny.blogspot.com/) about the "Ghost Buses" (https://white-plains-ny.blogspot.com/search/label/Buses) but maybe you'll read the lohud article in the link above and get your priorities straight about not only the Hudson Link buses but also all the other buses inundating downtown White Plains, you know, away from where all but one of you live:
- regional (CT Transit, Greyhound, Adirondack, etc.)
- private for corporations like Leros
- Bee-Line, which continues to claim 30 million passengers on the county website and costs $115 million a year. Has any county legislator checked on the cost effectiveness of this system in this millenium?
Imagine if even a few of the monster size buses started driving down the street where your house is. You, and especially your house neighbors, would demand an immediate end to the unnecessary traffic, noise and pollution.
