San Francisco’s Iconic Cable Cars & Museum 🚋✨

The cable cars (or "Ding-Ding Cars" as locals fondly call them) are San Francisco’s moving postcards—featured in films like The Rock (remember Nic Cage’s explosive ride?). These 150-year-old marvels run on underground cables, making them perfect for the city’s steep hills. 🚠 How Cable Cars Work ✅ No Engine! – Powered by a constantly moving underground cable (gripped/released by the driver). ✅ Two Crew Members: Driver (front): Controls speed/brakes via the cable grip. Conductor (rear): Collects fares, chats with passengers (our last ride had a hilarious Black conductor who turned the car into a comedy show! 😆). 🎟️ Tickets & Tips Single Ride: $7 (cash only on board) 8. 24-Hour Pass: $14 (unlimited cable cars + buses/streetcars) —great for hopping on/off! Best Seats: Stand on the side running boards for thrill rides! 🏛️ Cable Car Museum (FREE!) 📍 1201 Mason St 36 🕰️ Hours: 10AM–6PM (Apr–Sep) / 10AM–5PM (Oct–Mar) ✨ See: Giant gears pulling cables + vintage cars. #CableCar #SanFrancisco #TravelThrowback
