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.

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.
