About Cable Cars
San Francisco's famous cable car system is the world's last manually operated cable car system and an icon of the city of San Francisco, California. The system forms part of the intermodal urban transport network operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway, which also includes the separate E Embarcadero and F Market & Wharves heritage streetcar lines, the Muni Metro modern light rail system, and bus routes operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway, and operates alongside the Bay Area Rapid Transit system. Of the 23 cable car lines established between 1873 and 1890, only three remain (one of which combines parts of two earlier lines): two routes from downtown near Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, and a third route along California Street.
While the cable cars are used to a certain extent by commuters, the vast majority of the millions of passengers who use the system every year are tourists, and as a result, the wait to get on can often reach two hours or more. They are among the most significant tourist attractions in the city, along with Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, and the iconic Fisherman's Wharf.
San Francisco's cable cars are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Ride the Cable Car Lines

There are three different cable car lines that operate in San Francisco, Powell-Mason line, Powell-Hyde line, and the California Street line going from Market Street to Van Ness.
The Powell-Hyde & Powell-Mason Lines
Two of San Francisco’s three cable car lines connect the Union Square area downtown with Fisherman’s Wharf. The Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines share the most-photographed cable car turntable, where Powell Street meets Market Street.
The cable car system is one of only two street railways to be named a National Historic Landmark, along with the St. Charles Streetcar Line in New Orleans.
