The Golden Gate Ferry ride offers spacious quarters, amazing views, and good snack and beverage choices. There are cozy chairs inside or comfortable chairs on either outside deck (deck levels dependent on which ferry boat you get). There are cell phone charging stations by several seats if you bring your charging chord. And staff and riders alike always seem overjoyed to be sharing the experience with you. I take this ferry several times a month sometimes during the week and weekend to visit family. This is truly a unique and quintessential Bay Area experience worth having.

Please be ready to board this bus with exact change or a loaded Clipper Card. This is my only advice when getting on a route like the 30X. This route may be busy, but the ride is well worth it. With this route also inching through rush hour traffic, it certainly will not be any faster. Unlike the regular 30, buses are always clean especially when it operates this route. I certainly admit to that because we all want a nice clean ride. I know what some of you are thinking of. Yes, this route is operated on 60' buses. So there is no need to feel worried about crowded buses. If you are looking for a faster way to get between Financial District and Marina District, 30X Marina Express is the solution. I do want to add how one reviewer brought up a very good point. It would be nice if this route had additional service to and from Marina/Financial Districts. Overall, I like this route for the fact of clean buses and polite passengers. Advantages: - last bus out of the financial district is 7pm** - this route uses 60' buses - once again, clean buses* *Just really loving this part. **Monday - Friday -- Part of this is because some people get off work a little after 6pm. -- People complained that 40' buses are not very accommodating. -- Yes, more seating and standing room available since this route is operating on 60' buses. Thank you MUNI for making these changes.

I came in about an hour before I was told the place was closing at 9:30pm. There was a security lady, though she was definitely nice and helpful, I just didn't vibe with this transit center. There were about three transient or homeless persons that were hanging out or sleeping on the seats. I was one of the few people there and I said as security, why don't they regulate the place more. She told me it's just normal there with the homeless. I guess they just put a blind eye to it. But think it's kind of unmindful of safety of travelers. Even as a modern transit space, it does looks nice, with very tall escalators inside, but the safety was not exactly felt here, especially at night. Hopefully they'll actually enforce things than just let things be. But perhaps it's foreshadowing how things are handled in the city.

It's right in the middle of the Financial District, but it feels like a little escape from the city. Super unique layout with plants, walkways, benches, and even a little amphitheater. Took the gondola ride up just for fun (it's free!), and that alone made it worth visiting. I went for a jog around the park, which was a cool experience, but heads up. It gets crowded during lunchtime with people walking, eating, and just hanging out, so it's not the most peaceful run. One thing I noticed and appreciated: the amount of security. You can tell they keep a close eye on things, which makes the space feel really safe.

I like that they post arrival times at the boarding areas.

Using the BART Trip Planner I found the route there via the N Judah. I wanted to be on the Ocean Beach train. Inside the Powell Street Station, the signage confused me at first. "Outbound or Inbound?" I sheepishly asked the agent for directions. "Which way is it to the Ocean?" The agent snickered, "There's two oceans. Where do you want to go?" Fine, Outbound. Actually it didn't matter. At the platform I saw the Ocean Beach or Ball Park directions. Got it! Easy to pay the fare using my Clipper Card and I was going in the right direction. A two train car stopped and I'm on my way. I knew to get off at Irving St and 9th. The signage once again confused me. Judah and 9th is the stop listed. On this particular train, I couldn't here the operator announce the stops. Good thing I know a bit about The City and got off at the right stop. My destination was 1/2 mile away so I walked. The ride didn't take very long and it was a fun ride a glimpse of local folks and flavor. The return ride was uneventful and I proudly felt new confidence. I love public transportation and the N Judah works for me!

Once boarded, we enjoyed a fairly crowded rush hour ride, cruising through Financial District, Chinatown, Nob Hill, and then the crowd eased as we went up Pac Height, further and further we went until we reached near my place. We got off, walked a bit and got in to see my little pup just finishing his din din and jumping up and down eager to see us. And my hubby was just as surprised since he thought I would be coming home until much later. Our girl's day not over yet, but phone batteries did (well hers didn't but it was getting there.)

He slandered me to my classmates and persons from adjacent college preparatory. He ruined my relationships then by stating to multiple persons he saw me riding the bus with that I am "a jokester adult in my twenties". Fast forward to 2025, I have the misfortune to run into the same individual. He attempted to have me arrested by Muni Cops by insisting to them I am the individual he mistakes me.
