Sausalito Ferry Terminal is a ferry terminal in Sausalito, California, connecting Marin County and San Francisco. The station is served by Golden Gate Ferry and Blue & Gold Fleet ferries as well as Golden Gate Transit and Marin Transit bus routes.
The Sausalito Land and Ferry Company began running ferries between here and San Francisco around 1868.[1] The terminal served as the southern terminus and ferry connection to San Francisco for the North Pacific Coast Railroad,[2] which purchased the service in 1875. Pedestrian ferries were discontinued on February 28, 1941,[3] with car ferry service ended by March, a few years after opening of the Golden Gate Bridge.[4]
On August 15, 1970, Golden Gate Ferries began service to San Francisco along with the inauguration of bus services to the ferry terminal that day. A new dock was built in 1996.[5]
