The 25 Treasure Island is one of the best deals in public transportation, costing just $2.50 (using a Clipper Card) for a tour of Treasure Island and some of the most outstanding views in the Bay Area.

Pick up the bus on the third deck of Salesforce Transit Center, a destination worth its own things-to-do-in-2023 entry. Take the bus through the rapidly developing island and jump out at Mersea (corner of Avenue of the Palms and 9th Street) to enjoy the casual food, drink, and spectacular city skyline, followed by a stroll along the shore.

Soak in more great views on the ride back. Consider taking the new Treasure Island ferry or hop the bus back to San Francisco and get an elevated Muni-eyed view of downtown, Rincon Hill and Sutro Tower in the distance.
