# Santa Rosa Transit Mall

The Santa Rosa Transit Mall is a major transfer point for several bus routes serving the city of Santa Rosa, California, located in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco, in the United States. From the Transit Mall, passengers can travel throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, plus destinations that connect the city with the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Redwood Empire.

## Description

Santa Rosa Transit Mall serves as a transit hub for two major bus companies serving Sonoma County:
* Santa Rosa CityBus - mainly serving within Santa Rosa's city limits
* Sonoma County Transit - serves Santa Rosa with several other communities in the county
Other agencies that serve the Transit Mall include:

## Location

The city is also on the main route of the future Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit service, but, the railway station will not be built at the Transit Mall; instead, it will be built at Historic Downtown (Railroad Square), in which service from the Transit Mall is currently provided by Santa Rosa CityBus.
