Since Covid, it seems like everyone bought a car.
Our busses have always been partially full, but since Covid; it seemed like every bus I saw has 1, or 0 people riding.
Traffic in my county (Marin County) is more congested than pre-Covid.
If anyone from Marin Transit reads this, how about free fares on busses, and the ferry? You might gain some customers?
Your agency has always had problems convincing commuters your service makes sence on any level.
Why not offer free service for a year?
(The high tolls from the Golden Gate Bridge, and state/federal funds have supported our busses for decades now.)
This is the time to offer free rides.
Oh ya, put that Marin-Sonoma train to rest. We all passed the proposition. We had no idea there would be no where reasonable to park, and those salaries for management would be so high. Take the fences, and tracks down. It was good idea, but it didn't work out. Nix it.
Or, try free rides for a year? I'm tired of seeing two coupled trains with 0 people riding.
