Golden Gate Transit continues to modify bus service levels during the COVID-19 pandemic and, effective Sunday, September 13, 2020, will make additional regional bus schedule changes in an effort to further rightsize our service to match current low ridership levels. These changes are a temporary restructuring of our service to give us the utmost flexibility to quickly add service back as public health orders are eased and ridership returns.
As part of this plan, all service on commute Routes 24 and 38 will be suspended; service on commute Routes 4, 18, 27, 54, and 56X will be further reduced; service on Larkspur Ferry shuttle Route 25 will be restored; service to Cotati and Roberts Lake on Route 72 will be suspended; and late-night service on regional Route 30 will reduced. New bus timetables are available on our Upcoming Bus Schedule Change page.
Please note, the suspension of service on commute Routes 2, 4C, 8, 24C, 24X, 38A, 40X, 54C, 58, 72X, 74, 76, 92, and 101X will continue.
The following table details these changes, effective September 13, 2020, and offers transit service alternatives and links.
