Abstract:
The Westchester County Bee-Line Bus System, with its principal transit operator, Liberty Lines, comprises 358 buses carrying more than 30 million passengers annually on 67 routes, with approximately 3,300 bus stops.  Two smaller transit operators also provide service within limited geographic areas. The bus routes operate within the service area of Westchester, Putnam, Bronx and Manhattan counties.

The Westchester County Department of Transportation provides access to its transportation geospatial data with each one of its Bee-Line Bus System routes.  It is an extensive update to the previously digitized shapefiles and has been spatially adjusted to more accurately follow NAVTEQ roadway centerlines (2008) and aerial orthophotos (2007).
Purpose:
The data set is intended to display the Bee-Line Bus System for reference and planning and to promote its use.
