Transportation systems in San Francisco
(Français) |
|
The Cable Car, a transportation system typical to San Francisco, allows one to go up the many hills of the city. It allowed access to all hills for citizens when it was inaugurated. The street cars are also a landmark, with cars coming from all around the world. In addition to these two modes, the region offers many options for public transit. | |
