I am from San Jose and just to catch either the NX or O bus lines is really worth the commute by BART.

Traveling by ferry is such a wondrous experience…read more So traveling by ferry to the island of Tiburon is the only way to travel there! 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.

PREFACE- this is a rewrite for a review I wrote the other day but posted it to the wrong Ferry…read moreCompany whose owner was so polite and courteous to let me knnow. Thank you Margaret of Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry!!! Here is my story: 5th Star for the gorgeous view sailing in the San Francisco Bay. Uber'd over to Tiburon from Inner Sunset. Our intent was to ferry back to SFO then leisurely muni or foot mobile our way back to Inner Sunset. The ferry ride was well organized but you need to know a few things and they are: Be sure you have your Clipper card. If you don't you will need to scan the upc code from the sign at the entrance and load your card for at least $10 OR ELSE, you will not be on that ride (There are attendants at the entrance with their scanner for your Clipper Card) Soft drinks, snacks and adult beer and wine are available for purchase on the 2nd level. Lower level, 2nd level, 3rd level provide seating. 2nd and 33rd level have outside deck seating. Restroom facilities available on the lower and 2nd level. Best part? San Francisco blessed me with a perfect weather and blue sky day so my sail back to SFO was ABSOLUTELY perfect. I'll hand it to the ferry system at large! They got the system down pact in summary? and you want to cruse/sail the Bay? Ferry is the way to go ($8/ one way per adulty)

The passengers and operators take no games on this route…read more Everyone is polite. Big time bonus points on this part. 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.

The only bus in San Francisco where you walk on and your confidence goes from a high 9 to a low 4…read more Welcome to the most beautiful bus in the city, and I'm not talking about the hard plastic seats or interior advertising. I'm talking about the Bonobos and JCrew models that overcrowd it. The dirty 30 is a Marina staple and goddamn icon. You haven't lived until you've shoved yourself into the bus at Laguna and apologetically 'smized' at that hottie next to you. At any given time you'll overhear girls planning their soul cycle/blue barn adventures that evening, men (or should I say Eskimo brothers?) rocking their Patagonia vests and AirPods, and at least 3 good boys. Also a hard bargain at $2.75 a pop (I'm looking at you Chariot loyalists). A 30x morning is a journey that makes you proud of having a clipper card balance of greater than $20. Welcome to the new age of muni - honestly still wondering why I haven't changed my league profile to say "30X" as the neighborhood.

You try to not touch anything or breath next to the guy leaning on you during every jerk of the train. Church street stop either arrives every 10-15 minutes, back-to-back, or where the hell is it, oh great, it broke down & we have to transfer to a bus. I like that they post arrival times at the boarding areas. Bottom line, I'm able to get places, usually on time, and it's way faster, cheaper, & better on the environment than driving & finding parking downtown.

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!

Since growing up in San Francisco & Oakland, CA, I have always liked the Powell BART station due to…read moreconvenience in downtown San Francisco & Market St. attractions. Today, I still like stopping here whenever I visit the city. It's not cheap riding from San Jose/Milpitas to this station $10 one way now. I can still remember old times when riding only cost a few bucks. Powell BART station connects riders to all sorts of trains/muni destinations. Public restrooms are always available and staffs do their jobs well. You will see lots of foreign visitors and often hear people speaking in French, Spanish, German, etc. This is one of San Francisco's best stop. It's unfortunate that SF Westfield Shopping Center lost its businesses due to high crimes, high cost of doing business here, and other city regulations. This BART station really had it all years ago, especially when it was easily accessible after stopping here and walking distance to the food court and retail stores. I think Powell Station vibes are still positive for commuters. Advertisements are everywhere. This BART station still feels safe in public and it does feel like home of San Francisco center. I'm still glad that their tunnels and walkways are spacious and can accommodate major transportation for event days. JPMorgan Chase ads are highly visible.

I've chosen to live car-free because of the city's convenience, but BART is making that choice…read moredifficult lately. To be fair, the fares are decent and when it works, it's the best way to get around. However, the consistency just isn't there. Almost every day there is a new 'issue' or delay. The stations are consistently dirty, and broken escalators have become the norm rather than the exception. What's most frustrating, though, is the customer service. I've approached station agents for help only to feel like I'm 'interrupting' their personal phone time or chats with colleagues. A little professional courtesy would go a long way. I want to keep supporting public transit, but the overall experience needs to improve.

In 2008 my junior year in college prep (highschool) when I am 16 years of age a young boy, I was accosted by this same xenophobic driver on the 1 bus. 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. He stated during my morning ride on the 38 Muni circa 4-5 months ago when I am in the area for important graduate-level professional functions that I threw "stink bombs on the 1 bus and still do this stuff now hence ought be detained." On the note of this matter, I have every reason to believe the mother/son pair I observed on Monday 03/10/2025 on the 5 bus number 7287 at the First Street Bus stop are the persons he has mistaken me for. I request a former apology from Muni and the driver to rescind his inflammatory statements about me. A refusal to do so shall, you shall hear from Faer's legal representation on the subject matter.

It is cheaper to take a Uber than to get a ticket for a DUI. I use it before I get BATSH%T drunk,…read morelike at a wine or bourbon tasting dinner event. What appeals to me most about Uber is that it prioritizes a passenger's safety. The app generates a one-time verification PIN that I give to the driver, and the app also permits me to opt-in for an audio recording of the entire driver/ passenger conversation. I also use Uber to buy ferry tickets to Fire Island. I click on "Transit Tickets" "Buy Ticket" and then select which part of the island I want to visit. This July 4, I plan to go to the annual Drag Queen Invasion of Fire Island, so I will be selecting "Pines". The app has a Hotel Reservation feature that is found on the "Services" tab, but I won't be staying in the Pines overnight. It will be a "day trip" thing. Overall, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Uber in all the years that I have been using the service. I am one satisfied customer.

I don't really like Uber but I have used it a few times to get around…read more I just don't like that it's not really a company it's independent people. (Which sometimes can be a complete freaking creepy weirdo) So I try my best not to use them unless I have to. Because you never know what kind of driver you're gonna get. To be honest I like a traditional taxi cab better than uber.
