Local / Public Transportation

For transporation around the Bay Area, BART is an inexpensive and convenient way to get around.

Within San Francisco, the MUNI trains, buses, and cable cars can get you most places quickly and efficiently. As with many cities, parking is at a premium, so public transportation is always recommended.

After all, a visit to San Francisco would not be complete without a ride on a cable car!
