SF MUNI: MUNI is a great system
The MUNI system (as well as BART) is very extensive and is a lot easier than driving and parking around SF. Certain lines are better than others. Be sure to take the F line to Castro (the cars are either streetcars imported from Milan, or older ones from Boston). This is not a commuter line or something to take if you're in a hurry. Other bus and streetcar lines on MUNI go everywhere, so there really is no need to have a car here unless you want to venture out of the city.

    The MUNI train, antique trolley, and cable car system only service a fraction of San Francisco, unfortunately, so the electric bus is the best alternative, and not really a bad one. For example, to get to the famed Haight-Ashbury intersection, one can walk up the rather steep climb of Haight Street, through the Lower Haight neighborhood, and past Buena Vista Park, or one can take the MUNI bus. We often like to walk, but through the Haight Street corridor, MUNI buses run frequently enough for a visitor to get up and back from the Haight within an hour or so from the Civic Center Plaza area. The restored housing is certainly worth the work-out of walking.

    SF MUNI: The bus. Muni goes all over....
    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.

    SF MUNI: MUNI: have exact change
    The muni was a great help in getting around. The only downide is you need exact change. Most trips were $1.50 and they were all pretty much on schedule. on a side note, these are electric buses, so there are no emissions :)

    SF MUNI: Historic Streetcars
    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.

    SF MUNI: Buses & Cable Car
    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. http://transit.511.org/providers/maps/SF_923200345324.pdf 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.

    SF MUNI: A MUNI pass is the ticket to getting around
    We bought 3-day MUNI passports and rode the Cable Cars as much as the children wanted. We also rode the 'F' train along the Embarcadero and Market. We rode the buses as needed to get to/from various sites, including the Golden Gate bridge.

    SF MUNI: Bus route #33: Tour the city for $1.50
    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.
