GGT Zone Map

Exact change is required to pay a cash fare since bus drivers do not carry change. Advise the driver of your destination when boarding the bus and have exact fare ready.

GGT adult cash one-way bus fares vary according to the length of the trip and number of Fare Zones crossed. GGT adult cash bus fares are shown below. For Golden Gate Ferry Fares click here.

To Use Fare Table

If you want to travel from San Rafael (Zone 3) to San Francisco (Zone 1), locate San Rafael (in the left-hand column of table) and then look horizontally across the table to where Zone 3 intersects Zone 1 (indicated with white background).  Your one-way cash fare would be $4.55.
