Westchester MetroCard Van Returns In August To Serve Bee-Line Riders

It'll be in Mount Vernon for an hour Aug. 15.

(Patch Graphic)

Westchester County’s full-service MetroCard Mobile Van, provided by the County’s Department of Transportation in conjunction with the MTA New York City Transit Authority, will be making rounds throughout the County to assist riders interested in purchasing MetroCards. The van was temporarily suspended this summer due to free fares on all Bee-Line buses through Labor Day. See below for van schedule.

After Labor Day MetroCards can be used on the County’s Bee-Line bus system as well as New York City’s transit system. The MetroCard Mobile Van provides transit riders with a "one-stop shop" for all MetroCard services. In addition, staff will be available to explain rates, discounts and answer any questions.

Regular MetroCards will be available for purchase and existing cards may be refilled. Riders will also be able to apply for reduced rates if they are 65 and older or have qualifying disabilities.

MetroCard is the automated regional fare collection system managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. For more information on the MetroCard Mobile Van and other MetroCard locations, call the Bee-Line Information Center at (914) 813-7777.
