California gas prices drop 17 cents. See what's ‘driving the relief at the pump'

Gas prices have fallen across the country over the past week, including in California, according to fuel experts. “Gasoline prices fell in every state over the last week, while diesel declined in nearly every state, and the national average dropped below $4 per gallon for the first time since early August,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a Monday, Nov. 9, news release.

Marin Transit shifts bus work after rejecting Golden Gate rate proposal

1075 Francisco Blvd. E. — Approximate Site of Proposed Electric-Bus Facility. Marin Transit’s Nov. 2 vote to end its fixed-route contract with Golden Gate Transit shifts responsibility for service on five Marin routes, but does not by itself establish whether riders will see changes in schedules or frequency. The agreement covers 73,000 service hours on Routes 17, 22, 23, 35 and 36, according to the Marin Independent Journal. General Manager Robert Betts said the proposed rate, rising from $177 to as much as $464 per hour, could add $73 million to operating costs over three years.
