    SF MUNI: Trolley About Town
    We had great fun riding the trolley! Stops seem to be conveniently located and the cost is only $1.50, with a transfer available. Many folks chose to use the trolleys--locals and visitors--so the lines may get long at times. We almost missed our Alcatraz Tour because a ferry had jumped the line and was blocking all the other trolleys further down the line. Happily, one came in time and we didn't miss our tour. Be prepared for a full car!

    Buying the passport to use all the vehicles covered under the MUNI is one of the best deals around. A one way trip on the cable car is $5.00. A passport allows you to travel all day on $11.00. We used all the modes of transportation covered under the MUNI...we found it timely and it made stops in areas that we wanted to go. A hint...if you want to ride the cable car without dealing with crowds, the Van Ness line was never like the Powell line as far as how many riders there were. The Van Ness car was much more enjoyable. We were able to pick where we wanted to sit and it was a lot more relaxed. From the looks of it, most of the riders that were on the Powell line rode from one end to the other. Taking pictures or leisurely enjoying the ride were out of the question.

    SF MUNI: Classic Trolleys
    I am almost positive they called these MUNI's. These classic trolleys were all around San Francisco and were very easy to ride all over town. We stayed in the Fisherman's Wharf area and several times took these around town to the Haight, Castro and other parts of the city. Not only were these classic trolleys enjoyable to ride they were a relatively inexpensive alternative to the Cable Car's which while being enjoyable and a must ride in San Francisco were kind of expensive.

    SF MUNI: MUNI
    I don't have any insights into public transportation in San Fransisco - but who haven't heard of the San Fransisco cable cars, and who have heard of the MUNI? Having grown up in the old Soviet Union, trams and buses really stand out for me, and a ride on the historic MUNI trolley was a thing to remember.

    SF MUNI: Ride a cable car without waiting in a long line
    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.

    SF MUNI: The milan tram was the best!
    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!

    SF MUNI: Historic Steetcars
    The F line along the Embarcadero and Market Street are serviced by historic streetcars. The cars a reburshed and have a lot of character. Sometimes you will get a conductor who gets into the spirit of it and shouts out the names of the next stop in the typically "old fashioned" way. These cars are much more fun to ride around in than the regular Muni bus. The line will take you from Fisherman's Wharf to the Ferry Building to Market Street (and the shops on Powell). The two I see most frequently are from Milan and Philadelphia. Here is a website with more information: http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mfleet/histcars.htm

    SF MUNI: Using the MUNI
    The MUNI is the organisation that runs the subway, the buses, the streetcars and cable cars in San Francisco: a MUNI pass is good on all of these forms of transportation. You can buy a one-day, a three-day or a weeklong pass that will give you unlimited travel on all public transport except the BART, which operates a different ticketing system. It's fabulous to be able to hop on and off at will, and the maps of the transportation system are generally very easy to understand: we figured out how to navigate the city pretty quickly, and saved quite a bit of shoe leather. The big thrill for many people is still the cable car, since it's such a San Francisco thing to so. If you want to ride without a crowd, ride north towards Fisherman's Wharf in the evening: during the day, it's hard to get on going north, and it's as bad going south in the evening. It's a lot of fun, though the operators look and sound as though they've had quite enough of tourists doing goofy things for laughs...
