==Scope of service==
[[File:Valhalla Bee-line HQ jeh.jpg|thumb|left|The Cerrato Satellite Bus Facility in Valhalla]]
Most Bee-Line routes operate seven days a week. Before 2025, there was no service county-wide on two days of the calendar year, [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] (the fourth Thursday in November), and [[Christmas]] (December 25).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/Schedules/2025holidayschedules.pdf|title=2025 Holiday Schedules|website=transportation.westchestergov.com|access-date=2025-05-17}}</ref>

===Within Westchester===
{{main|List of bus routes in Westchester County}}
The system's 64 routes are mostly concentrated in the more urban southern portion of the county, with the cities of [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]], [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]], and [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]] receiving a high frequency of service. [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], the county seat and most centrally located city, is a major transportation hub with many routes converging on the city's TransCenter.

Service in the northern portion of Westchester is sparse and is concentrated near slightly populated areas such as [[Mount Kisco]], [[Ossining (village), New York|Ossining]], or [[Peekskill]]. Areas such as [[Lewisboro, New York|Lewisboro]], [[North Salem, New York|North Salem]], and [[Pound Ridge, New York|Pound Ridge]] receive paratransit service only. During the school year, special bus routes also operate. All but the county's smallest, most rural communities have at least [[rush hour]] service.<ref name=Bee-Line-Service>{{cite web |url= https://transportation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/SmartC/wcdotsysmapeng032025.pdf |date=March 2025 |title=Bee-Line System Map |website= transportation.westchestergov.com |access-date= 2025-05-17}}</ref>

===Outside Westchester===
Because Westchester County borders on the [[New York City]] [[borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[the Bronx]], many of the Bee-Line's routes operate into the Bronx, offering Westchester residents connections to [[MTA New York City Transit]] [[MTA Regional Bus Operations|buses]] and [[New York City Subway|subways]]; at least one Bee-Line route connects to each [[List of New York City Subway stations in the Bronx#Lines and services|subway route]] serving the Bronx. The Bee-Line System also operates an express route, the '''BxM4C''' from White Plains, [[Greenburgh, New York|Greenburgh]], [[Hartsdale, New York|Hartsdale]], [[Scarsdale, New York|Scarsdale]], and Yonkers along [[New York State Route 100|Central Park Avenue]] to [[Fifth Avenue]] in [[Manhattan]] (return trips operate on [[Madison Avenue]] within Manhattan).

Bee-Line operates mostly closed-door service in the Bronx (local service is not provided solely for travel within the Bronx; appropriate MTA Regional Bus Operations service must be used instead). The only exceptions are:
* '''Routes 40, 41, 42 and 43''', which run along [[White Plains Road]] north of the [[Wakefield – 241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Wakefield – 241st Street]] subway terminal;
* '''Route 45''', which serves the [[Pelham Bay Park (IRT Pelham Line)|Pelham Bay Park]] subway terminal, the Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Course, and the [[Bartow-Pell Mansion]];
* '''Route 54''', which runs on Mundy Lane along the Bronx/Mount Vernon border, since no other bus routes travel entirely through these areas;
* '''Routes 60 and 61''', which run along [[U.S. Route 1 in New York|US Route 1]] ([[Fordham Road|East Fordham]] and [[Boston Post Road|Boston]] roads in the Bronx).

In addition, '''Route 12''' briefly enters [[Greenwich, Connecticut|Greenwich]], [[Connecticut]] along [[New York State Route 120A|King Street]], in which it makes stops in Greenwich and [[Rye Brook, New York]] along the New York/Connecticut border; '''Route 16''' briefly enters [[Putnam County, New York|Putnam County]] to serve the Mahopac Village Centre; and '''Route 77''' enters Putnam County to serve the [[U.S. Route 6 in New York|US Route 6]] corridor between [[Mahopac, New York|Mahopac]] and [[Carmel, New York|Carmel]].<ref name="Bee-Line-Service"/>
