San Francisco Public Transit Strategies<\/h1>\n

Buses, Trains and Boats – San Francisco Style<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Understand Muni… and\u00a0<\/i>travel like a local\u00a0<\/em>San Franciscan!\u00a0<\/i>There’s nothing quite like climbing on the #30 bus to\u00a0Chinatown<\/a> during rush hour to get a taste of San Francisco. From the elbowing locals, to the bellowing homeless, to the three or four people who have no inner monologue — it’s a cramped, sweat-filled, iPod-blaring boiling pot of locals and tourists unlike anything you’ve ever seen — unless you’ve been to
\nHaight<\/a> Street on Halloween.<\/p>\n

With the best public transportation system on the West Coast, visitors and locals not only use San Francisco’s world-famous\u00a0cable cars<\/a> filled with dangling, overly-excited tourists to get around, but also ride the old-fashioned\u00a0streetcars<\/a>, Italian-made trains,\u00a0ferries<\/a>, and, of course,\u00a0buses<\/a>. The transit system inside the city is called the MUNI (Municipal Railway) and it can either get you where you need to go right on time, or get you there two to three hours late — it depends on the line, the street, the time, the day and the mood of the bus driver.<\/p>\n
