Small wins: we'll be able to promote a quite pleasant 1-stop public transit route from San Francisco in time for #NBPy this year!

Board the Golden Gate Bridge bus at 8am, change to the train in San Rafael and get to Petaluma (passing by the ranch) by 9:40am!

(is there a good option from the East Bay yet? Of course not -_-)
@chrisjrn I take the 580 bus to connect SMART in San Rafael to El Cerrito Del Norte BART when I have to get to the East Bay from Sonoma. Not sure about Northbound AM transfer times on the weekend, though.
@minrk Yeah, the 580 is definitely the correct way on weekdays, but there's nothing on the weekend as far as I can tell, alas.
@chrisjrn ah, sorry, I misread my transit search, I thought it said there was one on Saturday. Boo.
