It seems that there aren't many counties richer than Marin. And, a large wealth gap may just mean, there are some rich people, and some really rich people. Are the "obviously poorer people" still on iPhone 6's and 2015 MacBooks? (ok that part is sarcasm).

The point is, if you are getting the bus in Marin county, you are getting on the bus with others who are also in Marin county. That is going to heavily bias the experience because of the people, not the quality or cleanliness of the bus.




Marin City and San Rafael's Canal district are generally poorer. Also less well served.

Many people in San Rafael and Novato are fairly solid middle class. Outlying areas range from redic wealth to rural poor.

There's wealth, yes, but as with that future of Gibsons, there are somme kinks in the distribution.

No... Marin has some really poor parts.

But this still doesn't explain why the buses in Santa Clara and San mateo county aren't up to par.
