Ride Marin Transit for Free During the Fair!

FREE FARES DURING THE MARIN COUNTY FAIR! 

Marin Transit will be offering free local transit rides county-wide on all Marin Transit fixed route buses during the five-day period between July 3 - 7, 2024. This promotion is not valid on Marin Access demand response services. 
 

We encourage Marin County residents and their families to take transit to the Fair and throughout the County. Heavy traffic and high parking demand means that transit is your best option to get to the Fair! 

The Fair will be held at the Marin County Fairgrounds in San Rafael.  The Fairgrounds are accessible via Route 35 and Route 49, as well as via the SMART Civic Center station. Route 71 and Route 233 provide service to nearby stops. Use our online trip planning app below to find the best way to reach the fair and avoid the traffic. Real time bus arrival information is available to make planning your trip quick and easy.
