Cable Car & MUNI

California Line SF Cable Car ©RJ Best

Cable Cars, which vie with the Golden Gate Bridge as the symbol of San Francisco, are an irresistible way to see the city. Dress warmly and you can ride outside, catching visual treats that motorists routinely miss. Cable Car fare is $2 and can be paid at the automated stations at the end of the line or directly to the Cable Car operator. No transfers are issued or accepted. Cable Cars are not wheelchair accessible.

There are three different Cable Car lines: - Powell & Hyde: Powell & Market via Powell, Jackson, Hyde to Beach (Victorian Park). RETURN Hyde, Washington, Powell to Market. - Powell & Mason: Powell & Market via Powell, Jackson, Mason, Columbus, Taylor to Bay (Fisherman's Wharf). RETURN Taylor, Columbus, Mason, Washington, Powell to Market. - California: California & Market via California to Van Ness. RETURN California to Market.

While Cable Cars are a charming way to see some parts of San Francisco, you'll need to employ other forms of transportation to get a broader perspective on this fair city. Cable Cars cover the areas most frequented by tourists.
