    Getting TO/AROUND: The BART is a great way to get between the airport and the city. It's about $5.15 and a 30 minute trip. The stations are clean and easy to navigate.
    You can't really use the BART to get around town muc, use the buses for that.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The muni was a great help in getting around. The only downide is you need exact change. Most trips were $1.50 and they were all pretty much on schedule.
    on a side note, these are electric buses, so there are no emissions :)

    Getting TO/AROUND: From what I understand, there are tourist cable cars and regular cable cars that everyday people use. There are some that seem very old, but restored and these are very cool. I spoke to one driver while he was on break and his had been brought over from Italy and had interior wood finishings. Very nice.

    SF MUNI: Bus route #33: Tour the city for $1.50

    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: Why pay $20 or more for a narrated cable car tour? If you take bus route #33 on the Muni starting at the BART station on Mission and 16th, you will go through the neghborhoods of The Mission, Castro, up through twin peaks (with amazing views of the City below) and through the Haight Ashbury district. The views of the city and it's neighborhoods are amazing.
