Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins announced the arrival of 116 new hybrid-electric buses that will modernize the Bee-Line Bus System, improve the customer experience and complete the transition away from diesel-powered buses.
The new fleet includes 111 New Flyer 40-foot Xcelsior® hybrid-electric buses and five 35-foot Xcelsior® hybrid-electric buses. The investment replaces the remaining diesel buses in the Bee-Line fleet, reinforcing the County’s commitment to providing reliable public transportation while advancing its sustainability goals. Sixteen of the new 40-foot buses are specially designed for express-style service, including the BxM4C route, and feature a single entrance door and overhead luggage racks to better accommodate commuters.
County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “The Bee-Line is a vital resource that connects people to work, school, health care and countless opportunities throughout Westchester and beyond. By replacing our remaining diesel buses with modern hybrid-electric vehicles, we are investing in cleaner transportation and a better experience for every rider. These new buses reflect our focus on building a more sustainable transit system while delivering the high-quality service our residents deserve.”
