funnymooner1 Posted August 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2017 My girlfriend and I will be in SF on Sept. 18th and would like to take a ferry to Sausalito. I believe we dock at Pier 27. Would we be able to walk that distance, or do we need to explore alternate transportation. If it's too far to walk, any suggestions on how to get to the ferry building?

CruiserBruce Posted August 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Would you be able to walk? Depends on your mobility. It is a flat walk of maybe a mile. Google Maps is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare martincath Posted August 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you. I have never been able to see distances/scale on Google maps Exactly where the scale is displayed may vary by the system/OS you're viewing it on, but it's always hanging around near one edge in a corner. If you put in start/end points it's impossible not to see a clearly-displayed total distance for all route options - and if you select Details for a route you even get how long each leg is before turns/changes of road etc. Since you're on an iPad you could try Apple Maps, which seem to have fixed the more egregious errors from their time of launch, and also Bing - you may find one interface just 'clicks' with you more than others, and they all have their strengths & weaknesses.

CruiserBruce Posted August 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The distance is a little less important that the stated walking time- for example, 15 minutes. I find these estimates very reasonable and good indicators of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnymooner1 Posted August 17, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It's one mile, an easy 20 minute walk to the Ferry Building at the foot of market street or catch the street car ($2.75) on the Embarcadero -10 minutes Appreciate the response. With only a ten minute difference between street car and walking, I think I'll walk. Thanks again. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very short walk. That is what we do. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
