Bus service in Westchester County, immediately
north of the New York borough of the Bronx, is provided by the Bee-Line Bus
System. Dating back to the 1970s, the
Bee-Line was created as a merger of thirteen different bus agencies and most
routes are now operated by Yonkers-based Liberty Lines Transit, Inc. In addition to bus service throughout Westchester
County, Bee-Line routes also operate into the Bronx to connect with the New
York City Subway, including an express route into Manhattan, and one route
operates into Putman County. There are
347 buses in the fleet, consisting of Orion V and VII, Neoplan AM460Q
and NABI 40LFW buses.

as they feature the Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine, which are normally used
only by highway coaches. |
