The California Street cable car line provides a genteel counterpoint to the bustling Powell Street lines.
For the first five blocks, Cal cars take you through the deep canyon of lower California Street, where the cable car looks out of place against the high-rises of the Financial District.
The line continues through Portsmouth Square, Chinatown, Nob Hill, and Huntington Park on its way to Van Ness Avenue.
