About the route

SMART (Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit) is a commuter/hybrid rail line (using diesel multiple units) between Sonoma County Airport and Larkspur. SMART operates as frequent as every 32 minutes.

SMART trains connect with various bus systems in the North Bay including Golden Gate Transit, Marin Transit, Sonoma County Transit, Santa Rosa CityBus, and Petaluma Transit. Trains also connect with Golden Gate Ferry at Larkspur Station for service to San Francisco. SMART Connect Airport SMART Connect AirportOn demand shuttle: Sonoma County Airport Station,SMART Connect Larkspur SMART Connect LarkspurOn demand shuttle: Larkspur on demand shuttles also connect SMART trains with nearby destinations.

Opened in 2017, SMART uses the original Northwestern Pacific right of way, which once provided electric interurban trains from Sausalito (a San Francisco ferry connection) to different communities in Marin County, and steam trains from Sausalito to as far as Eureka. Interurban service was discontinued in 1941, four years after the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, with buses directly serving San Francisco.

How to take SMART

Before boarding the trains, pay the train fare with SMART eTickets app on your smart phone or with a Clipper card. Clipper card can be purchased (or load cash values or 31-day pass to an existing card) from the ticket machines on the station platforms, which accept cash or credit/debit card. Clipper card riders need to tag card before boarding and tag again after exiting the train at a reader located on the platform. SMART does not offer paper tickets.

Fares on SMART are determined by the number of fares zones you plan to travel. SMART uses the proof of payment system and passengers caught without a valid fare are subject to eviction and/or citation. There's a maximum daily fare on SMART.

Bicycle access

SMART railcar offers vertical rack as well as horizontal stack rack (found on Caltrain) in the fold up seating area.

Disabled access

SMART rail cars feature level boarding access at all stations.
