Again, there is likely no more transit-oriented American suburban county.

Buses are a portion of the overall transit framework. Whether or not all buses are running on Sunday and whether or not wait times are acceptable to you has nothing to do with actual ridership stats, which are very impressive for suburban U.S. standards.
You want data??

According to Beeline, only 65% of residents are within walking distance of transit service. The ridership quoted is unlinked trips, so the actual ridership is even lower, and is very low considering the county has almost one million people.

Most of the trips are also taken in the more urban and poor part of the county, Yonkers.
