San
Francisco Cable Cars - There
are three cable car routes in operation. At Powell and Market streets,
there is a cable car turntable which serves as the beginning stop
for two lines, the Powell-Mason and Powell- Hyde lines. The California
Street line runs East-West from the Financial District, through Chinatown,
over Nob Hill and stops at Van Ness Avenue. The Powell-Mason runs
over Nnob hill and down to Fisherman's Wharf. No trip to San Francisco
is complete without taking a ride on these world famous cable cars.
