Printable San Francisco Cable Car Map

Have y’all heard of San Francisco? Apparently, they have these things called cable cars that run up and down these steep hills. It’s like a roller coaster, but without the loops. And let me tell ya, those hills are no joke. I don’t know how those cable cars don’t fly off the tracks.

Cable Car MapOkay, so there’s a lot of lines on this map, but I think I get the gist of it. There’s three main lines: Powell/Mason, Powell/Hyde, and California. I don’t know who these Powell and California people are, but they seem to have a monopoly on the cable car game.

Powell/Mason Line

Cable Car on Powell/Mason LineThis line starts at Powell and Market and goes up to Bay and Taylor. I don’t know who Bay and Taylor are either, but I’ll assume they’re important. Anyway, this line has some killer views of the city, especially when you get to the top of those steep hills.

Powell/Hyde Line

Cable Car on Powell/Hyde LineIf you’re looking for the full San Francisco experience, this is the line for you. It goes from Powell and Market all the way down to Aquatic Park, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Plus, you get to see the famous Lombard Street from above.

California Line

Cable Car on California LineThis line starts at California and Van Ness and goes all the way up to the top of Nob Hill. And by “top,” I mean the tippy-top. You’ll be able to see for miles up there. But fair warning, it’s a steep climb.

So there you have it, folks. A comprehensive guide to the San Francisco cable cars. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to check them out. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, try hanging off the side like those crazy people in the movies.
