Cable Cars in San Francisco


I've been to many places in the world and they all have their own "unique" characteristics. In San Francisco it's the transportation system that caught my eye. This city has the most "fun" mass transit of any I've ever visited in the world.


Marilyn and I soon figured out how to travel from one place to another very easily in this town. The "hills" demand it, and this is the perfect solution for those not used to them. The "incline" is amazing in this town. Although boarding one of these cable cars may take a few minutes, they're well worth the wait for a nice ride. It's especially fun to hang onto the "outside of the car" when moving up or down these steep hills.


We just couldn't get enough of them and rode them as often as possible. Here's another quick video of the fun.


Have you ever wondered what they do at the end of the line?  This is what happens when you get there and need to turn around and head back the other way.
