June 2023 Proposed Service Changes

Overview

Marin Transit plans to make changes to bus routes and schedules on June 11, 2023. These changes are proposed to better align service with current ridership demands and improve the effective use of our resources. Most riders should still be able to make the trips they do today, but some riders will have to adjust which routes they take and/or what time they travel and/or transfer between routes to reach their destination.
