the first time I rode a cable car it cost ten cents. If you hung on to the outside it was free. This was in 1961. A lot of people depended on them for actual public transportation and getting back and forth to work. Now, it's mostly tourists.

I never lived in San Francisco but I lived in the south bay and various places on the peninsula for 30 years. I always love your videos of the city. They bring back nothing but good memories.
