How to catch a cable car in San Francisco?

Last updated June 16, 2022 by ZagBot Comment

  • Stand at a brown and white Cable Car Stop sign.
  • As the cable car approaches, raise your hand to signal the driver to stop.
  • Pay the conductor after boarding (with $20 notes or less) if you don’t already have a ticket or pass.
  • If the cable car does not stop, it is likely full.
  • Between 8 am and 5 pm, to board at the end-of-line turnarounds at Powell & Market, Bay & Taylor and Hyde & Beach Streets, you must purchase your fare in advance.
  • When lines are long at the turnaround stops, walking a short distance to the next stop can mean a shorter wait, although you might have to stand on the outside running boards holding on to the poles.
  • Fares are single trip one-way travel only, with no transfers to other transit, and passengers must get off at the end of the line.
  • Cable car tickets can be purchased from the booths at the turnarounds, or the MuniMobile app and Clipper card offer other fare payment options.
  • The Visitor Passport and CityPASS also offer cost-effective unlimited all day travel on cable cars and other Muni transport.
