Old timer here. We took cable car rides when we visited SF in 1988. We were 32 and now we're 70. We made it our mission to take many rides on all the lines. Sitting inside, in front, on the side seating,..and kind of hanging off while standing. I actually enjoyed watching the cable car "grip" operator, and seeing the sturdy levers, and various foot brakes. Its the coolest working artifact, from the 1800s, that people can still enjoy. Perfectly suited to tourists, maybe less so for people in a hurry. They are 95% authentic, refreshed, and maybe with some unobtrusive, modern electronics.
The most fun is to stand off the side facing forward, as close to front as possible! The cable car drivers make it more fun too as they encourage chanting and cheering! So much fun!
Definitely a fun experience!
Well done! I used this video to plan our trip tomorrow to San Francisco. Thank you so much! New subscriber here.
Heyyyy! Welcome, and glad this was useful!
Hope you enjoy your trip tomorrow! Lots of things to do even during these times :)
I really enjoyed watching your video. I would love to see more, hence I subscribed. Thank you!
Welcome to the squad 🙌🏼
Hello. Looking for some advice. Never been to San Fran. Mostly there to board the Amtrak California Zephyr to Chicago over by Oakland but spending a half day across the bridge in San Fran. The plan is to take Cab to Trolley car, Trolley Car to Lombard. Walk down Lombard. Walk to Pier for Alcatraz tour. Cab back to hotel near Oakland. (Gotta get up early for Amtrak the following morning) I got the walk part down from Lombard, but never done a trolley car. Flying into Oakland, cab to nearby hotel, Cab across the bridge. Would I be correct in that I should have the cab drop off near Union Square to buy a Hyde line ticket to get to the top end of Lombard?
You do a great job and I hope you are still creating content. My cousin and I are visiting SFO in a few weeks and I've been there several times but haven't rode a cable car.
I appreciate the comment! I hope you get to ride one this time, it’s so much fun :)
Great video!
Appreciate it !
Greetings from Dublin in Rep of Ireland.good videi
Greetings friend 👋🏼
Thanks for the video. If you buy it on the MuniMobile app, do you have to go to that ticket window to show it to someone or just jump straight into the line for the trolley? Then once you get to the front of the line, do you just pull out your app and show it to a driver?
Hey there, so, it depends. Sometimes the operators will ask for it, other times not. Same if you get on a bus or the metro. But, if they do ask, you must have it on hand if you don’t want a fine or get kicked out.
On the MuniMobile app you can make your ticket “active” and so it becomes valid for a period of time. If they ask it, just make sure it’s active and you should be good.
Yes. You can just jump onto the cable car and show your phone.
Keep up the great work ED!!!!!
Appreciate the comment!
Sup Ed, I need to learn how to use one of these cable cars bro. Hope your video helps me out dude.
Hope it helped !
Thx u very helpful video
SF relies on the Cable Cars for massive tourism. Many people visit SF just to see and ride the cable cars.
That is true Buddy Bear! Lol
4:20 explains how to get on the cable car
Thanks for sharing that shortcut lol
Cool great info thanks for sharing have a good one 🤘☮️❤️🔥🍀👻🤟🦋
I’m from mobile Alabama I’m 2hrs from New Orleans that’s where I rode a cable car
walk up to geary st and hop on, no line! its a street car not a ride at disneyland
Can you use your clipper card to ride the cable car, if so where do you swipe it please?
Yes you can, but you have to pay for a specific "package" which includes the cable car. You can do this on the clipper card locations on the stations, or using the MuniMobile app, which is the avenue I would recommend. If you download the app, you will see the options for the cable car right there
Hope that helps
How long did you end up waiting in line?
Hello 👋🏼
I spent almost a full hr in line (busy day)
But it depends on the day and time of day
@@EDDvlogs thanks for the response! When did you go? What time of day?
I went on a Saturday at 1pm, which is probably the busiest day for that@@dianeliang9230
What is the name of the app?
Me gustan mucho tus videos por que siento que es un amigo el que me esta llevanto de paseo y me esta recomendando que hacer, inspiras confianza!! CADA VES MEJOR!! ❤❤
Muchas gracias! esa es la meta!
@@EDDvlogs aqui son las 3:50 am voy llegando de la peda y recibo una notificacion de una respuesta tuya, gracias mi noche mejoro 1000% ❤❤❤
Very helpful
Glad it was helpful! :)
The California Line can't turn. They go up and down California Street from Bay Street to Van Ness. They are larger in size but they can go back and forth without having to turn. The Powell and Hyde street cars are totally different. They are built to turn...make turns, corners ect. But those cars when they get to the end of the line have to turn...hense cable car turns.
Hey Doug,
Thanks again for your comment and insight! super helpful :D
That's incorrect. The California line runs on California Street from Drumm Street to Van Ness Avenue. The California cable cars are double-ended with "grip" levers at either end of the longer cars which are operated in each direction without the cars being *turned **_around_* at the ends of the line. The California cable cars do make turns at California and Hyde Street where they continue on non-revenue track to return to the barn.
I wanna video on how the hell people survive with that crazy rent! I'm from monterey BTW and its high down here but nothing like sf
Haha, I think the trick is the people you know (moving in with people/replacing someone), and handling expectations.
If you expect to live close to downtown you better know you’ll be paying way more than if you’re living in the avenues.
You get in a rent controlled building. Plus, most people who live in the city don't have cars, so there's no monthly payment, no gas expense, no car insurance. That, alone, can save $700 or so per month in expenses that you can apply to rent. And there are (were) a lot of good paying jobs - salaries in SF are going to pay better than the same job would in TX, for example.
I've always wanted to ride them, but they're all the way across the country and a bit far for me to go there.
They came about after that guy saw a horse & buggy operator beating his horse while trying to climb a hill. To a point it collapsed and the buggy & it fell down the hill. He had a history of cableways used in mining.
$7 seems a bit steep, but it is Cali, or is that for an all day pass?
Thank you for your comment! If I mentioned $7 bucks on the vid, that is probably just for the cable car, and you can check the Muni Mobile app for specific prizes for 1, 3 & 7-Day passes that are (at the moment I’m typing this) $13, $31 & $41 respectively
The lady at 5:12 is so unnecessarily staring hard and looking annoyed for literally no reason. Like go be nasty somewhere else. This video is well done and so helpful.
Hello . Thanks bạn đã chìa sẽ
Don't stand in line. Walk up a couple of blocks and hop on at a stop.

Hey there, Gabriel! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🙏🏼
