San Francisco Transit Photos

San Francisco's Cable Cars are the jewel of the Bay Area transit. However, the BART subway trains, airport people movers and an extensive streetcar system also fill roles. Streetcars range from the ultra modern to heritage rolling stock acquired from other cities & kept with original logos to run along market street as a living museum & real transport.
