Why you should go…

San Francisco runs the last manually operated cable car system in the world, a National Historic Landmark since 1964. Two lines start at the Powell and Market turntable and head toward Fisherman's Wharf, while the California line runs from Market Street to Van Ness Avenue. Grip operators work the cars by hand, and crews turn them around on turntables at the ends of the Powell lines. At the busiest terminals you must buy your fare before boarding.
