Only the 37-year-old bus driver was injured, but Yonkers police still aren’t sure why she failed to navigate the turn and ended up driving straight into the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s a good thing that people wasn’t crossing the street at the time,” resident Carmen Fernandez said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one else was on the bus, which hit two other parked vehicles. The driver suffered minor injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The buses do not belong there”<\/p>\n
Dozens of MTA buses rumble through the intersection every day, coming and going from the depot near the Hudson River waterfront and in the middle of new housing developments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The buses do not belong there,” Spano said. “They stick out like a sore thumb.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spano said the buses mostly serve New York City residents, but Yonkers taxpayers will pick up the entire cost of the emergency response to the crash.<\/p>\n
He said Yonkers loses about $400,000 per year in property taxes because the MTA does not pay for the bus depot property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Take the buses and bring them to New York City. They don’t belong here, clogging up our streets, causing a ruckus, not providing any benefit whatsoever to the taxpayers of Yonkers,” Spano said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After last week’s accident, the mayor said he’s starting another push to relocate the depot in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
