San Francisco Cable Car Ride to Chinatown https://www.viator.com/tours/San-Francisco/San-Francisco-Chinatown-Walking-Tour/d651-2326WALK?pid=P00234599&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector History A Scottish engineer and wire rope manufacturer, Andrew Hallidie's inspiration came after observing a team of four horses struggling to haul a public conveyance up a steep San Francisco hill. The cobblestone street was slick from the fog, and when one horse slipped, the car rolled backwards, dragging all four horses with it. Hallidie then designed a cable railway system, and at 5:00 a.m. on August 2, 1873, Hallidie guided the first cable car down Clay Street. Today, San Francisco has 38 cable cars in its fleet. Powell-Hyde Fisherman’s Wharf is served by two cable car lines: the Powell-Hyde line on Hyde and Beach Streets and the Powell-Mason line on Taylor and Bay Streets. Both lines run between Fisherman's Wharf and Powell and Market Streets in Union Square. Cable Car Fares Adult and youth, ages 5 to 17: $8 each ride, a single ride on a single cable car vehicle.
