    I wanted to Check-In here, but noticed it hadn't been Yelped: corey g to the rescue!! I've been here a few times over the year because I have homies in Marin and up in Santa Rosa. The location of the transit center is nice in that its near downtown San Rafael, so you have lots of cool little shops, eateries, and coffee shops. I've only taken the Golden Gate Transit bus from here. There is a small waiting room area if you want to chill inside (there are decently clean restrooms inside). You also have a little deli/coffee/food shop right at the Center as well.

    How to Avoid the Clipper Card Minefield…read more Using a Clipper Card is a great way to travel, but you first have to understand their intuitive rules. I bought 2 clipper cards at the the Windsor Smart Train station for my wife and I last year and took the train from Windsor to the Larkfield ferry. Unfortunately you can't buy a senior card at the train kiosk so you have have to pay the full price with no discount. To get a senior card you have to buy it online and wait a few weeks to receive it in the mail. A few months ago, I had about $10 remaining on each card and my wife and I decided to take the Larkfield ferry to S. F. the next day. I went online to check my balance and there was no cash available. So I called the number and I was told " we are experiencing long hold times and there are 38 folks ahead of me". And they mentioned to go online to use self service. I went online and there was no self service options. The online site is useless. Finally I spoke to the rep and was informed that since I didn't use the card for 6 months there was no cash value on the card, but she would add the previous balance back onto the card, and this would take a few days. So, I added $20 to each card online using my Visa card. Unbeknownst to me it takes over a week to add this cash value to the Clipper Card, even though they they charged my Visa immediately. When I got to the Smart Train station there was no cash value on the card so I had to add $20 more to the cards. This really upset me. I had to call the Clipper Card office 5 more times and wait between 14 and 41 calls ahead of me to finally get a promise that they will send me a check. I have been waiting for 2 weeks to get the check and called again only to find out it takes about 1 month to get the check. I'm still waiting. It seems very clear to me that Clipper Card grabs your money immediately and will try anyway it can to keep it. If you want to avoid some of the money pitfalls and phone calls of using a Clipper Card: 1. Purchase your card online 1 month before you intend to use it. 2. Add value to your card at the train or ferry kiosk only for the amount you intend to use that day. 3. Use the cash value quickly.

    Review based solely on my wife and my weekend getaway from Santa Rosa to SF. We purchased the $12…read moreone way combo ticket to use for the SMART train and Larkspur Ferry. Hardest part of the trip is walking from the train to the ferry. Otherwise an amazing trip. What I was most impressed with about the ferry other than the views was its on time schedule. Both Saturday and Sunday the ferry arrived right on schedule and left right on schedule. Super impressed.

I was able to…read morestop at a few of my must-see places on my list while I was in town including The Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of The Fine Arts and Pier 39. It is a bang for your buck and you will save - especially if you didn't rent a car and are ubering around. It's a good value. If the weather permits, it's fun sitting on the top of the bus. Always bring a sweater or coat just in case. I loved the automated audio guide you can listen to with the headphones provided. Learned some really cool facts about the city. The Not So Good? It is a long ride. I would guess about a two hour ride from stop to finish. I did two days and the bus drivers weren't very friendly.

If you say every 15, it should be every 15. I waited 30 mins for the bus to show up at stop 17, it drove 1 mile. Made us switch buses, that took 10'min, then wait for the driver to finish their 30 min break before the buss stars moving. I'm 70 mins in and have gone anywhere and seen anything. And still in a hot buss with no ac waiting for the you shove more people on the buss. Pretty horrible way to start A $300 bus ride.
