"After over 45 years of daily service, Golden Gate Transit will be massively cutting service to Marin County's southernmost Highway 101 bus pad stops effective April 12, as part of the inter-agency MASCOTS plan that overhauls public transit in Marin and Sonoma counties."
"With the service cuts to the Spencer Avenue bus pads, a rather transit oriented suburban neighborhood will be no more, leaving dozens of daily riders without service."
"Eliminating daily public transit service at Spencer Avenue is a step backwards for equitable access to our public parks, as about 30% of San Francisco households do not have an automobile."
"MASCOTS will impact other Highway 101 adjacent neighborhoods in southern Marin, including Marin City, with loss of fast, daily (non-commute) transit service to San Francisco that operates via Waldo Grade on Highway 101."
Effective April 12, Golden Gate Transit will significantly reduce service to the Spencer Avenue bus pads, leaving only limited weekday commute service. This change is part of the MASCOTS plan, which aims to overhaul public transit in Marin and Sonoma counties. While some routes will see increased frequency and improved inter-agency cooperation, the cuts will transform a transit-oriented neighborhood into a car-dependent area, impacting access to public parks and reducing service for daily riders. Other nearby neighborhoods will also experience service reductions, although some slower transit options will remain.
