Pave the SMART right of way from Andersen to Larkspur Ferry Landing. This would be a SMART busway. This would bypass the really bad traffic areas. Forget about fixing up all the San Rafael bridges and building all that signalling. Run shuttle buses down the ROW through the tunnel to Larkspur Landing Dr. where they will be first in line to cross an intersection with Sir Francis Drake to enter the ferry complex.
Simple. Effective. Avoids traffic without causing traffic. Keeps open option for an extension. Extends the SMART into the ferry terminal instead of nearly 1/2 mile away from it. Save all the money you'd need to build the SMART larkspur station.
SMART schedules leave lots of leeway to get from San Rafael to the ferry terminal. I actually believe bussing from San Rafael will be cheaper, safer, and faster than taking the train.
