    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.

    Raphael goes above and beyond for customers and their events. I have recently used them a few weeks…read moreago for a shuttle to top golf and back, and everyone had a great time. Motor coaches, mini busses, vans, limousines, they got it all and they do a great job at showing up on time and in professional vehicles. I guess only thing I can recommend is to not lose your stuff, as they aren't baby sitters who pickup after you ;) Grown adults shouldn't have any issues working with Umbrella!

    What you look for in a bus company is to safely and efficiently get passengers from Point A to…read morePoint B. Umbrella Bus barely got our passengers from Point A to Point B, did not do so efficiently, and arguably didn't do it terribly safely. We booked Umbrella for a 54-passenger shuttle to transport wedding guests from our wedding hotel to our ceremony venue, and then from the ceremony venue to the reception venue ($1050 total). I confirmed this itinerary with their staff by email and phone several times (at least three), because they kept sending me invoices that only showed a partial itinerary, but they assured me that they had the correct itinerary written down and would read off the correct itinerary on the phone when I called. On the first trip, the bus driver got the bottom of the bus stuck on a steep hill, rendering it unable to move. Guests had to walk nearly a quarter mile from where the bus got stuck to the ceremony site. The bus was also blocking the entrance to the park where the ceremony was held, meaning that park visitors and several wedding guests who were behind it were severely delayed in getting into the park. We had a couple of guests who missed some of the wedding ceremony because the bus blocked the entrance for so long. It would've been 3.5 stars if only for this, since it wasn't 100% the driver's fault, though he should really have known what the buses he drives are able to handle. On the second trip, though, despite me confirming the destinations in the itinerary with Umbrella MULTIPLE TIMES, the driver had somehow been given the wrong destination by their dispatch, and took guests back to the hotel instead of to the wedding reception venue. My family members had to argue with the driver, who insisted that he'd been told to take everyone back to the hotel, and "I'm only doing two trips, how will people get back to the hotel?" but he eventually relented and took everyone to the reception instead, but meant that most of the guests were delayed by quite a bit in getting to the reception. This definitely wasn't the driver's fault though, and was clearly the fault of the company/dispatch. He did eventually take the guests where they needed to go, which we appreciate.

One of my biggest frustrations is that buses are constantly running far ahead of schedule. If the Petaluma stop says the bus arrives at 5:20, I understand a few minutes early or a few minutes late. But 20 minutes early is unacceptable. It happens often enough that it's become a real reliability issue. People plan their commutes around the published schedule, and buses leaving that early make riders miss them entirely. Another ongoing problem is bus spacing. It's common to see two buses arrive within a couple of minutes of each other, followed by a 30- to 40-minute gap before the next one. Better spacing would make the service much more dependable. I've also noticed that many drivers barely come to a complete stop before pulling away. They accelerate quickly before passengers have a chance to sit down, which can be uncomfortable and potentially unsafe, especially for seniors or anyone with mobility challenges. I rely on Golden Gate Transit, so it's disappointing to see the service becoming less reliable. I hope they take rider feedback seriously and work on improving schedule adherence, bus spacing, and passenger safety.

I was able to see so many spots from the movie and it felt nice to feel a part of that. There were plenty of stop to make this a 1-2 day adventure. Seeing the Golden state bridge was amazing. IF YOU ARE RIDING ON TOP make sure you bring a sweater, the drip does get windy once you get on the freeway to head to the bridge. Please put on sunscreen, yes SanFran can be cloudy some days and fresh and sunny others HOWEVER please were sunscreen, bring sunglasses and a hat that won't fly away. Not sure what everyone was complaining about in these reviews but my and my fam had a blast. Would definitely do this again we find ourselves in town.

Who wants to drive to these locations and pay for parking? The good is that the bus gets you to tourist got spots and picks you up. Best to download the app to follow when the bus will arrive mostly correct. We were in the 5pm bus and it was chaotic because we had to switch buses and it was crammed. It's misleading to say the pass is valid 24 hours because if you start at 10am, you are done at 5pm and can't use it again. I miss the live narration and at least a welcome from the driver. Our first driver at least was friendly and even came upstairs to tell us what was going on with the 10 minute break at the GG bridge and the rest stop at Fisherman's Wharf. Buy the tickets in Groupon to save a few bucks. Overall, our friends were happy and that is all that matters.
