Is this a joke? $115 million for the Bee-Line county bus system? Casual observation in White Plains at or near the bus terminal at the train station shows VERY low percentage of seats occupied by passengers.

Regional buses: percent of seats occupied, percent of passengers who merely board a train?  Saturday, April 14, 2018

Those are two simple common sense questions that Mayor Tom Roach and traffic commissioner Tom Soyk should answer.

Some of the regional bus companies that drive to the White Plains train station:
Coach (allowed by city to park illegally adjacent to mini mall)
Adirondack Trailways
Greyhound
CT Transit (Connecticut)
Leprichaun
TappanZeezpress (Rockland County, NY)

Along with:
Afternoon rush hour traffic on Hamilton Avenue: where are all those vehicles coming from and going to?

Finally, the BIG common sense question:

How does any of this benefit White Plains, especially downtown?
