San Francisco Riding the Cable Cars

Riding the Cable Cars in San Francisco is just something you have to do if you come here, since it is snymonous with San Francisco.
This was a lot of fun- a very long long wait (think disneyland ride) but it was fun and the views of the city were great.
We caught the cable car near Ghiradelli Square. We did not go to the museum. Personally I found the terminology used for transportation confusing-what is generally considered a bus is called a trolley and what i considered a trolley is called a cable car.

So if you want to take a ride on an authentic trolley ride that runs on the rails in the streets-this is considered a cable car. (just so you are not standing in the wrong line)

While in San Francisco we were on a boat, a plane, car, train, and a cable car. If possible I prefer to walk as it ends up taking longer to use other forms of transportation to get anywhere. We waited an hour for the "F" train to arrive because we were at the stop a second to late. With a total of 5 small kids in our group at dinnertime we were wondering how long it takes the %!@** "F" train to come back around to the stop. Bring a stroller and a baby bjorn for kids, and yikes if you miss the train find another way to get where you are going-better yet get back on the cable car and go back where you started. All is good though~ San Francisco was fun.
