BEELINE BUSES---NEW FARE TECHNOLOGY WILL SPEED BOARDING AND EXPAND PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR RIDERS



New Fare Technology Will Speed Boarding and Expand Payment Options for Riders

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins toured the Bee-Line Bus garage in Valhalla to view newly installed OMNY fare scanners on the Bee-Line fleet. The visit marked a major milestone ahead of the official County-wide launch of OMNY on January 4, 2026 at 5 a.m., when the Bee-Line bus system will fully adopt the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) contactless fare payment system.

Beginning January 4, Bee-Line fares will also be adjusted to align with MTA’s new fare rates. MORE AT Westchester Prepares for OMNY Rollout with Full Bee-Line Installation
