- Carolina RevillaOctober 18, 2014You have to ride the cable car when in town. You can take it at different stops around the city for 6 bucks. It gives you a good view of the city. It was a great experience
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 26, 2015The wait can be extremely long but once you jump inside a cable car, you feel like on the ride! Step on the side for the best spot and feel like a dog with his head out of a car window!
ᴡ RosarioSeptember 5, 2014Go for a Cable Car ride! Its fun. But go early, be prepare to wait in long lines. Totally worth it!Upvoted Feb 23
Travelivery - Redefining the Way You Travel.January 22, 2014The stop and beginning of the Powell/Hyde cable car. Check out the Whart, Ghiradelli Square, and Aquatic Park while you're here. http://sf.travelivery.com Read more
Lee SimcoxAugust 21, 2013It can (and probably will) take an hour just to get on to the car. Ride for the experience, not transportation - you can walk downtown faster.
Jess LMarch 13, 2016Get ready to wait. But they don't fill the cable cars completely before departing. So you could just go up the hill to the next stop and grab one there.
Martin WasiakMay 10, 2013Counted 6 cars at the turnaround. At one leaving every 10 mins, that's a one hour break between each run. Gotta love union efficiency.
Jim VirginJanuary 7, 2014Ride on the right side of the trolley for great views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Drew MatthewsAugust 8, 2015Cable cars are fun just make sure you have the time to invest in the lineup.
Yvonne CFebruary 19, 2014Some improvements made. Like today they have a guitar player instead of a banjo player and there's not 10 waiting cable cars, just six.
John AdamsJune 29, 2012Did you know this is the only moving National Monument? Take the cable cars to Lombard street and walk down!
Martin C.January 3, 2015Inexplicable why there is such a long delay turning cars, certainly no technical or logistical reason. Maybe it's just the indolence of the operational staff. They're no credit to the city.
Matt RJanuary 24, 2015Save yourself the wait and jump on the cable car at any other stop a few blocks away.
Dani KleinMarch 2, 2012Lines are long. Grab a drink or kosher chocolate / ice cream from Ghirardelli down the block.
Hakim TroyanovApril 27, 2013One ride tickets have to be purchased on board only, DO NOT try to buy it in ticket office near turnaround
Al B.January 4, 2016Not too much here. Old cable car to check out as well as running cable cars to ride here.
Cosme HernandezDecember 30, 2013Yes. The line is long, but in the morning is not that long. We wait for 15 min.
Steve FMay 7, 2013Don't bother if you are in a hurry or have something time-sensitive to get to - it took them 10+ minutes to get a packed car moving, even with 2 empty cars ready to be filled.
Lorena CicciariJuly 12, 2013This is the most ineffectively run operation I've ever seen. Empty cars lined up and a line a mile long.
Francois PichardJuly 31, 2012Si vs voulez faire la queue pr montez dans un fameux Cable Car c'est le bon endroit ; sinon vs pouvez le prendre à un des arrêts sur sa route vers Powell en espérant qu'il y ait de la place
