Ferry to MV would be ~30 minutes or less from SF. The Vallejo fairy is nearly twice as long and it takes an hour. Then from Redwood City to MV it's about 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The 30 minutes is on par with what it would take by bus, and much better than what it would take if there's heavy traffic between SF and RWC. The location of the piers is pretty good. It's close to BART, SOMA, etc... It's really tricky to navigate the downtown traffic as well between 7 and 9 as well, so you'd save some efficiencies from that. It's probably roughly on par with a bus, maybe a bit longer than the ideal case but probably better than the average case.
