 | San Francisco SF MUNI Reviews | 51 - 60 of 101 |  |
The bus. Muni goes all over. don't even think about renting a car- there's no parking for miles. Half the people who live here don't have cars and those who do don't usually use them to get arounf the city. Many bus stops have city maps on them- which give the best maps of the city and label all the street, and tell how often buses run, and which ones run all night. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

There is a whole fleet of these cute trolleys in San Francisco. They run from Jefferson/Jones at Fisherman`s Wharf to Castro Street terminal in Castro District. It is called the F line.
ADVICE: Have your fare or valid transfer ready before boarding. Always ask for a transfer on all Muni lines except cable cars, even if you do not plan to transfer to another vehicle. Transfers are issued on request at the time the fare is paid.
FARES:
Adults pay $1.50 (or Muni FastPass, Passport, token, transfer).
Youth streetcar fare (ages 5-17, valid ID required) is 50¢ (or Muni FastPass, Passport, token, transfer).
Senior streetcar fare (ages 65+, valid ID required) is 50¢ (or Muni FastPass, Passport, token, transfer).
Disabled streetcar fare (valid ID required) is 50¢ (or Muni FastPass, Passport, token or transfer or monthly sticker affixed to a valid Regional Transit Discount Card).
Children under 5 ride free.
ABOUT CARS:
Called Museum In Motion, they are from all over the world: Italy, England, Russia, Australia, Germany, Portugal, Japan and many US states. Quite an eclectic mix. Currently, there are 44 streetcars on the road.

These are really efficient, extensive, and most are quick. As a tourist you will use these more often than others. At the time I am writing this the fare for buses is $1.25 and is good for two transfers. The fare for cable cars is $3.00 As a traveler who is going to be spending more than 7 days I recommend that you get the Citypass which gives you unlimited rides on both buses and cable cars for 9 days.

If you take the cable car try to sit at the very front or in the very back. The first time around might frighten you a bit but for you thrill seekers it is worth it. Leave a Comment

This pass is a bargain! Considering a single trip on the famous cable car is already $5, for $25 the pass allows you to travel on any Muni operated public transport (bus, tram and cable cars) for unlimited times in 7 days. It also comes in 1 and 3 days, so don’t forget to get your pass and a Muni map first thing arriving the city. I found the system easy to navigate and had no problems traveling to places by buses even though they don’t necessarily arrive on time. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Why pay $20 or more for a narrated cable car tour? If you take bus route #33 on the Muni starting at the BART station on Mission and 16th, you will go through the neghborhoods of The Mission, Castro, up through twin peaks (with amazing views of the City below) and through the Haight Ashbury district. The views of the city and it's neighborhoods are amazing. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Most tourists want to ride a cable car, and they should: cable cars are a lot of fun. However, most tourists catch the cable cars that go to Fisherman's Wharf on Powell Street. The line for these cars can wrap around the block and take an hour. It can take just as long to come back downtown, too.
As an alternative, catch the California Street Cable Car line at Market and California Streets (just above the Embarcadero BART station). These cable cars are almost never full, and there is seldom any line at all. They don't go to the Wharf, but they do go to Chinatown, Nob Hill, Polk Gulch and end at Van Ness Avenue. To see some grand old Victorians, cross Van Ness and walk a few blocks up California Street. These mansions are among the few in the area that survived the great earthquake and fire of 1906.
If you want to go to the Wharf, you can always catch the F streetcars on Market. They don't go up any hills, but the are charming in their own way and the ride along the Embarcadero is beautiful. Leave a Comment

SF bought some old trams from cities that no longer used them - they are great fun to look out for - I especially liked the orange Milan trams - their light fittings were stylish and the adverts were all in Italian! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
