I don't believe there is one bus that will get you from the Ferry Terminal to anywhere near Forbidden Island. You would have to transfer at Webster and Santa Clara. Taking Bart to downtown Oakland, then the 51 bus would be a viable option, but the "O" bus from SF to Alameda would be your best bet to Forbidden Island if you decide not to drive, but read on. Again, I think the only difficulty is going to be between Emeryville and Alameda.

I just got home to Alameda after a very brief bus commute from the city. Traffic today, in both directions, was moving faster than usual. I guess everyone just took Bart! We'll have to see how tomorrow goes to get a better feel for things, it may be that everyone was just scared enough to stay home. But if it doesn't get much worse than it was today, then there's not gonna be much problem getting around the closed road. I could see work going on at the area that had the collapse and I would bet they get the bottom portion usable within a couple weeks. Traffic-wise, at least as far as I could tell, this is nowhere near the nightmare that was predicted!
