- 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 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.
