Golden Gate Transit April 2026 Service Changes

Effective Sunday, April 12, 2026

Golden Gate Transit & Ferry service changes in April are the result of a collaborative effort between nine transit and funding agencies to create a more connected, frequent transit network in the Highway 101 corridor.

The Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Service (MASCOTS) Plan was created to grow ridership and improve effectiveness of public transit services offered in the Highway 101 corridor.

Please use the tools below to get familiar with the changes and to plan your travel after the new schedules go live on April 12, 2026. Sign up for alerts to make sure you don't miss anything! Note, If you are already signed up for Route 150 or Route 130 alerts, you will be automatically signed up for the new Route 120 alerts.
