Members of the public and the media were invited to ride for the full or partial journey to Marin County. 

This was a great opportunity for the public to chat with CEOs about transit service and transit career opportunities. 

The journey included trip options on BART, Muni, Golden Gate Ferry, Golden Gate Transit and Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit trains.
