Show Notes
Skyrocketing gas prices in the Bay Area, with Marin County leading at $6.08 per gallon, are causing financial strain for commuters and transit agencies. Refinery closures and diesel price hikes are exacerbating the situation. Transit outfits are facing increased fuel costs, with Sonoma-Marin rail expenses surging 55% in March. Ridership is rising, potentially due to high prices or warmer weather, and agencies are considering budget adjustments. If prices persist, more people may opt for greener transportation alternatives like bikeshares, vanpools, or carpools.
