We visited San Francisco again, and this time, we were able to easily get on the cable cars. In a previous visit, we stood in long lines and were turned away at other stops. This time, the lines were shorter and we able to enjoy the cars with our Muni Pass at no addl charge. Riding the cars saved us... More

A tourist 'tick in the box' thing for sure but lots of fun and a great way to see the inner neighbourhoods (without the painful after effects of walking up steep hills!) The cable car drivers are entertaining and super friendly. Do it early in the day...

We fully intended to do a cable car ride during our week in San Francisco however with so much do do in the city we did not have the time to queue. We queued for about 25 minutes the one day to do the Hyde / Powell but had hardly moved so gave up. Maybe next time...

The must do activity. We took the cable car from the end point not far from Ghirardelly till the Powell. It's so much fun. The waiting time is around 45-60 min ll day long, apart if you come early morning or late in the ev. The most fun is of course if you hang outside of the train. If you... More

hang off the side just like on tv. it was fun...steep and the operators are super friendly. They are very professional. Sometimes in the evening, if it isn't busy you can ring the bell and yes...even in your mid 30s that is fun!

We grabbed the Cable Car and rode from one terminus to the other. With me using a walker, it wasn't too bad getting through the line or even climbing up on the car. We ended up sitting in the front facing seats and had a decent view but Diana said it was much more enjoyable on the way back when... More

A little pricey at $6 (cash only) a person to go a few miles, but how can you come to San Fran and not ride the cable car, once. We even went looking for a box of Rice-a-roni to take fun photos (but found none). The ride was fun but very crowded. We were told to avoid the turnaround (crowds)... More

How can you not ride an authentic cable car when visiting San Fran. It's a little pricey for a round trip and plan on getting packed in like a sardine. I would recommend boarding at one of the street stops instead of Market Street cause you'll wait there for hours. We rode on the back of the car, which had... More

While in SF, don't miss a Cable Car ride, it's cool. Don't need more than half an hour to make the trip from Hyde St. at Fisherman's Warf to Union Square.
