WHAT IS MARIN TRANSIT?Marin County Transit Distict (Marin Transit) was formed by a vote of the people of Marin County in 1964 and was given the responsibility for providing local transit service within Marin County. Although Marin Transit has responsibility for local services, it does not own any buses or facilities and does not employ its own drivers. Instead, Marin Transit contracts with other providers, including Golden Gate Transit and Whistlestop Wheels for local bus and paratransit services.For more Frequently Asked Questions, click here to download a PDF.
