12/2006: San Francisco: 'cable cars....'
Don’t call the cable cars ‘trolleys’! The charismatic Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines run between Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf, and the California street car runs between Market Street and Van Ness Ave. Be prepared to wait in a queue to get on and there will be an unseemly scramble to secure the benches at the front as these offer the best photo opportunities. Fares are $5.00 for each trip, but the better bet is to buy an all day pass at $10.00. Alternatively, buy a Muni Passport (which covers the bus, lightrail and street cars) at one day for $11, 3 days for $18 and 7 days for $24.
