- San Francisco has many different modes of public transportation including subway, light rail, streetcar, ferries, buses, trolleybuses, and finally cable cars! These iconic and historic cable cars conquer the steep hills of San Francisco.

My knees would never be able to go up and down those hills. No wonder SF has all these cable cars.
A great video. I've visited SF over a number of years and do love the cable cars. The cable car museum is a really worthwhile visit. If only SF weren't so expensive I'd visit it more often.
Yes, the cable car museum is worth a visit. I love visiting SF, but it is very expensive.
I use to lived in NYC and the living cost was more cheaper than San Francisco
@@reonaldhaslimin7666 That doesn't surprise me in the least.
As an additional note from my own family's experiences: The Gallery Cafe is right next to the Cable Car Museum if you want something to eat in the moment, it has a few neat things to look at inside itself!
Remembering me 5 years ago at downtown San Francisco, I use to lived at Geary and Hyde Street😌
You changed locations in San Francisco or moved away from San Francisco? My plan is to move as close to San Francisco as I can afford, as long as I am close to the Pacific Ocean. I loved it as a child, I hope I still will.
@@glenhardy4770 Wish the best for you! Don't give up
@@theasianboy315 I shall remember your words. Thank You for your encouragement.
Magic city...fantastic for me...
Fantastic video my friend like and Greetings from Argentina !!! New subscriber 👉🔔 !!!
Thank you!
Those stray trackless trolley poles at the beginning LoL
I like San Francisco and all the wires! It's really interesting to look at and admire. It also can be ugly to have all those wires.
@@Luke_Starkenburg somewhat, but I like electric traction so it doesn't bother me
That bit at 5:37 where the Powell-Mason lines cross over the California line, the Powell-Mason cable ducks under the California cable so the Powell-Mason car has to release the cable and coast across. I once saw a Powell-Mason car not quite make it across the intersection; the passengers got out and pushed it across lol.
Wow, this would have been quite the sight to see or experience. The cablecar must have been going too slow! It would be fun for me to be asked to PLEASE help push the cablecar a few feet! Haha!
That really puts the "Public" in Public Transit, doesn't it? :)
Thanks! So interesting to see how they work close up. God, I miss San Francisco, warts and all. So different from the blandness that defines the vast majority of American cities.
Belo video!
Hard to imagine this system is over 100 years old.
These Cable Cars are amazing, I have went on them before when I was a child. I do hope to come back and ride these again.

Man just think of how irritating it would be if the cables would break and snake their way through the streets all the way back to the powerhouse and bundle up on the floor inside , that would be one insanely expensive fix it one of the cables would do it without warning.
San Francisco should be a trolley town and it should bulit and expand more of it's trolleys to be everywhere
They did grow them back when they were built but the invention of buses made the cable cars obsolete because they are too slow so all but two lines disappeared.
Y los cinturones de seguridad en que lugar los dejaron ¡¡¡¡Jajajaja.in buenos Aires .
Vedere tanta gente vicina in questo periodo fa' paura spero che non succeda come qui da noi
i live in sf but i have yet to ride any of these, i should do it sometime before i leave the state
Always wondered how does people paid the passage before it became a heritage rail?
GBA811 there is a conductor who takes the money, even today. There is a gripman and the conductor. Today, I think it costs $7 to ride it, so it’s not cheap, but tourists line up to ride. If you have a transit pass, the cable cars are included. When I go I usually buy a day pass which covers the buses, streetcars, light rail, and cable cars.
2:53 so cute 😂 ..
"Don't worry. I get your back mate"
"Push me harder "
"Almost there"
"Ahhh.. these people on me are just too heavy "
Never heard it called a rope even though that's how it looks.
I guess 🤷🏽♂️
I think that's the lingo the employees use. "Grab the rope" or "drop the rope" sounds better than "Grab the cable" or "drop the cable". It's easier to say.
@@Luke_Starkenburg I guess. First ever heard it lol
Now i want to live in san Francisco
I saw Clint Eastwood in this video and Steve Seagal fighting in China town
if u wanna ride on the cable car u gotta get their really early and if u dont u gonna haft to wait
Very interesting! Always wondered how the switches work on cable cars. Thanks!
The gripmen have a lot to do, switching cables during switches (depending on the way the turnout is switched). If the cable car has to switch cables, it has to coast through the switch!
Just marvellous. How did you manage to catch the trains so empty? Early Morning?
To get on a train, I usually walk a couple stops up from the end of the line instead of waiting in the long line of people at the end. I think some of the shots were taken in the morning.
No push by a truck this time? !!
At 2:41 you can see the cable car being pushed up by a truck. I used the footage for my earlier video last year, so I made it very quick.
@@Luke_Starkenburg you're right i missed it.
very very nice video!!!!!
Love this video!
Video excelente foi um Turismo sem sair de casa! 👍
Abraço 😷
Obrigado!!
Many West Coast cities had cable cars (notably Seattle) but today these are the last remaining on Earth.
Not earth, but def in the West
@@RRansomSmith Serious question: Where else do they still operate? Modern high-tech variants like the DCC/CableLiner don't count. Neither do funiculars or aerial trams. Where else does a traditional street-rail cable car that grips a cable running beneath the street still operate? I've studied transit issues and systems since the mid-90s and haven't stumbled across any. I'd love to know if there's another functioning line somewhere that I missed!
@@colormedubious4747 not in the street sense, but in terms of cable pulled cars, def not the last
Funiculars definitely apply as it's the same basics but without the gripmab
@@RRansomSmith We could have a lot of fun splitting hairs all day :) but my original point was regarding traditional San Francisco-style street-running cable cars that were once ubiquitous in many major cities around the world, not just ANY car/cab/gondola using a cable drive. If that were the criterion then you'd have to include every ski lift on the planet, which is patently absurd. I specifically excluded funiculars ( and, by extension, inclines) because they typically don't run on streets (there are 2 exceptions in Europe), as don't modern CableLiners which tend to be elevated, nor ski lifts, gondolas, and other aerial trams. Given these clarifications, do you know of any traditional street-running cable cars elsewhere or do you agree that San Francisco's is the last of its kind? Bear in mind, I do take great delight in discovering the existence of a transit system with which I'm not familiar!
Why do they ring a Bell,?
As a warning to keep clear of the track and to let riders know when it's clear to board and disembark , when they approach an intersection they ring the bell to alert motorists that they have the right-away and to keep clear.
Is this yesterday
I believe they are considered a moving museum.
Close...they are considered the USAs only moving landmark
.
When was this filmed? So much for "Social Distancey "Always amazed the way the operators work the grip and breaks it's a work out for sure .
Fanatic High desert Railroader it wasn’t in 2020, that’s for sure.
I take it almost every day. During the pandemic they've switch over to buses as a shuttle. So there's more space and less of them on the streets.
This video is a couple of years old. There is no cable car service operating at this time. The entire system has been shut down since April.
Where are the poopsicles??
Men San Francisco you ruining it!!!! Hope it doesn't turn to another Italy of tsunami of Dead!
So whatever happen to SOCIAL DISTANCING?
Filmed before the outbreak
This video is at least 2 to 3 years old. The uniforms have changed, and I see crewmembers who have long since retired or left (I work there) The entire cable car system has been shut down since April of 2020.
@@gripmann yes I was wondering why when I visited like 2 months ago- why I didn’t see any cable cars because I wanted to experience it because of the historic aspect of it
@@gripmann I guess it was just time to say ‘goodbye’ since it is 2020, and technology and everything is soooo different
