For the record about a week ago a PASSENGER was spotted on a Hudson Link bus in downtown White Plains. That's the first such passenger in Hudson Link history.
These are ghost buses. They have almost no passengers. Same with the regional bus companies. So, why do White Plains decision makers accept this, even encourage it?
Hudson Link buses make a left turn from Main Street onto Church Street, which is much too small to safely accommodate such large buses. Then where do they go? Down Hamilton Avenue to the bus terminal at the train station or, more likely, across Hamilton to residential Barker Avenue and then down to the bus terminal.
Buses park illegally in several locations, including Hamilton Avenue near North Broadway.
Do people on the Traffic Commission or in the Parking & Traffic Department ever give a second thought to safety and quality of life issues in DOWNTOWN White Plains? Or is it all about moving vehicles? Rhetorical questions, unfortunately.
