TheWhite Plains TransCenter is an intermodal transit center inWhite Plains, New York. It serves as a terminal/transfer point for manyBee-Line Buses, as well as intercity buses, and taxicabs. The terminal is located along Ferris Avenue north of Hamilton Street (westboundNY 119), diagonally across from theWhite Plains station ofMetro-North Railroad, and includes a parking garage located next door to the railroad station, across that street. Ferris Avenue is a one-way street north of Main Street (eastbound NY 119), and is flanked by northbound and southbound buses only lanes between Hamilton Street and Water Street.
The main building of the TransCenter can be found on the block along Ferris Avenue to the west, Water Street to the south, Lexington Avenue to the west, and New Street to the north, which is also covered by the building itself. The parking garage across the street also contains bicycle racks on the northwest corner of Ferris Avenue and New Street, which is also the entrance to the station parking lot north of NY 119.

The White Plains Railroad Station has been a major transportation hub from its days as aNew York Central and Hudson River Railroad station, with trolley routes such as the New York, Elmsford and White Plains Railroad[2][3] and the Tarrytown, White Plains and Mamaroneck Railway Company,[3] both of which were acquired by theWestchester Street Railroad Company, an affiliate of theThird Avenue Railway. Throughout the 20th century, trolleys were replaced by buses, many of which were private and localized companies, that were eventually acquired byBee-LineBus beginning in 1978. It also attracted intercity buses, such asGreyhound,Trailways,Short Line, and other companies. The station was merged withPennsylvania Railroad transforming it into aPenn Central Railroad station. Buses and trains continued to use the station through the collapse of Penn Central, the acquisition byConrail and theMTA, the full control byMetro-North Railroad, and the reconstruction of the station during the mid-1980s. The current TransCenter was built shortly after the reconstruction of the aforementioned railroad station.[4]
