Getting Around

A trip to San Francisco would not be complete without a ride on the famous Cable Cars! The Powell/Mason line begins at Bay Street in Fisherman's Wharf and stops at Union Square. The line ends at Market Street. It is $7 (USD) for a single ride fare on the cable car. Children under 4 years of age are free. Here are some tips for riding the Cable Cars: If you're paying your fare with cash or coins, pay the Conductor directly. Exact change for your cable car fare is appreciated. The conductors can make change for up to $20 (USD). Seating on cable cars is very limited. If you can, offer your seat to elderly or disabled riders if your car gets crowded. Riders may stand on the running boards and hang onto the outer poles as the car moves. Riders do so at their own risk. Do not lean out while standing on the running boards. Please be cautious and do not let go of the poles when the car is stopped if you plan to keep riding. Collapsible strollers are typically not allowed on Cable Cars due to limited space.
