    Everybody who comes to San Francisco should try the cable car. Unforgettable memory with amazing views and the expressions of the guy who works for Cable Car.

    Cable cars have been prowling the city since 1873. Take a ride up California Street on this national moving monument for hypnotic night views. There’s a stop right outside The Ritz-Carlton.

    In the evening, each run departs from Drumm and Calif around the same time the 1 does. The 1 departs every 20 minutes, so you'll likely be waiting every 20 minutes for a cable car as well.

    Want an amazing view of the city? Hop on a cable car for an aerial, and inspiring, view.

    If you have a MUNI fast pass (paper or Clipper card) you can use that on cable cars as well as cash.

    During commuting times in tourist season even this cable car line may be slightly congested.

    The California line is down for a complete overhaul until June 2011. Take the Powell street line unless you want to ride a shuttle bus through a construction zone.

    Etiquette: you can fit 7 ppl per side on the bench, and no, your nordys bag and purse does not count as a person!

    You need cat-like reflexes to wind your way through the gaggle of tourists waiting for the trolley.

    This is the best spot to take a cable car to Fisherman's Wharf.

    Sometimes if you use your clipper card they don't charge you the $6 for a ride.

    They're old, wooden and don't have tires (the ones that do are fake tourist traps.) And they are never, ever called trolleys. (Trolleys have overhead wires.) These are cable cars.

    Кабельные трамваи это не только туристический аттракцион, но и очень удобный и функциональны транспорт, если маршрут подходит. Единственный недостаток - цена $6. Но кондуктор есть не всегда :)
