Take the Smart Train to San Francisco

Take the Smart Train to San Francisco

The Smart Train is easily accessible at the Petaluma downtown station. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Smart Train Depot. The Smart Train features free wifi, charging at your table, a snack and beverage cart for your convenience and you can bring your bike. The smart train takes you to downtown San Rafael were you board a quick hop in a bus to the Larkspur Ferry. While on the Larkspur Ferry you will have a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Treasure Island and San Francisco! The ferry building features amazing waterfront restaurants, shopping and is a short walk to Pier 39. You can also purchase and catch tours of San Francisco at the ferry building.
I personally have taken the Smart Train to San Francisco and it was simple, almost as quick as driving (and a whole lot cheaper and without the parking hassles) and was a great way to see the bridges and an amazing view of the city. I would recommend taking the train before 10 am to be able to maximize your time in the city.
