Awesomely convenient, sparkling clean and very modern train cars. The schedule has lots of options throughout the day. Wish it had a direct connection to the BART which would make it even more convenient being able to connect directly to regional AMTRACK lines.

I needed to get back to Santa Rosa from San Francisco without a car, which seemed difficult and long but riding the ferry and Smart train was so easy, clean and safe! Will definitely do it again.

A great ride from SR North to San Rafael, it felt good and I had a great new view on the scenery. On the way back the horn was blown constantly and so loudly that it almost drove me nuts. I think they sounded the horn around 50 times within an hour. I didn't notice this or the constant announcing of "arriving/departing" at each station on the way to San Rafael but on the way back it made the experience not worth it. I did sit on opposite ends each trip so maybe I ended up on the horn end on the way back (North End of Train). So for a solo trip make sure you have ear buds, if you plan on talking on the train with a friend, reconsider that idea.

Questions & Answers

Instead of Engineer/conductor. Why not hire FARE inspectors ? This will free up half your staff to operate more trains/expanded schedule!

Andrew Ziegler | Aug 27, 2018

An engineer and a conductors are REQUIRED by Federal law. The conductor on a normal railroad I'd an operating employee...primary job is not to collect gates and Pat customers on the head, but the operational safety of the train. A dedicated fare collector/enforcer would not take the place of a conductor who is trained in the operation, rules and regulations of getting the train over the railroad safely.

Will train take me to concord from Petaluma tomorrow?

Joseph Naujokas | Aug 27, 2019

Right now the closest you can get is the San Rafael transit center and pick up a connector shuttle from there. The SMART extension to the ferry will be operational hopefully by the end of the year.

If I am only going from Santa Rosa to Rohnert Park why do I pay the same price as going all the way to Petaluma.The zone pricing makes it not worth it.
