Marin Transit Connect is your connection to work, home, transit, and other destinations across Marin County. Our service is entirely on-demand, and it operates anywhere in the service area shown below — not just at bus stops. Connect is part of Connect2Transit, an integrated program of mobility options within the Uber app brought to you in partnership with the Transportation Authority of Marin. 

To start riding, download the Uber app on your smartphone. Once you register, you’ll be able to request a ride from any location—to any location—in the service area. You'll receive an estimated pickup time and we'll plan a convenient route to your destination in one of our Marin Transit Connect shuttle vans. You can track your ride in real-time with the Uber app, and you’ll receive notifications about the ride via text message whether or not you use the app.

   Service Hours

Weekdays, 6:00 am - 7:00 pm. See Holiday calendar for service exceptions.

Additional expansion including longer hours and weekends will be explored and evaluated throughout the pilot program. 

   Reservations

Ride requests are made using the Uber app. Riders can download the Uber app using links above. Rides booked in the Uber app are completely on-demand. 

Riders can book a trip for up to two (2) total passengers with limited boarding capacity to maintain social distancing protocols.
