Common Council members, spend a few minutes at about 5:30 PM at the intersection of Barker Avenue and Church Street. See for yourselves. Come on. Get around downtown occasionally.
Three general groups of buses:
1. Westchester county Bee-Line: mostly empty except during rush hour; poor people going to work for rich people.
2. Private (Leros, etc.): companies providing transportation to/from the train station for employees who won't ride the Bee-Line with poor people. Because Church Street is still one way between Hamilton Avenue and Barker Avenue, the passengers from the big office building on the corner board private buses on Church Street and the bus then proceeds to Barker, then left to the train station.
3. Regional (Adirondack, Greyhound, etc.): few passengers; why do they bother with White Plains, except for passengers to transfer to the train and continue on to New York City?
Do you really think that people, even millennials, want to live at the functional equivalent of the 8th Avenue Port Authority bus terminal?
