We've been away due to a family health crisis, but we're back! Just in time for MUNI Heritage Weekend in San Francisco, featuring historic streetcars, vintage buses, and the all-time favorite: the boat tram! (Not to mention the cablecars.) Learn about the streetcars and buses, the Market Street Railway, and find out what the Routle is.

Who doesn't love the boat tram? As you can see from the line waiting to ride it, we all love it!

Car Number 1 - and its destination

The Dinky - it looks like a cable car, but it's a streetcar!
And here are some of the streetcars you can see any day on the F Line in San Francisco
But honestly, the vintage buses were what really got my attention

The orange one is my favorite; it used to run up to Coit Tower.
Check out the non-profit organization that supports the historic streetcars - the Market Street Railway
I especially love the live streetcar map that tells where each F Line streetcar is in real time.
Here's a cable car, this one loaded with bigwigs because - why not?

Be sure to also check out the cable car barn and museum: SF Cable Car Museum
Other supporters of public transit:



Here's Julian, the docent, in 1900 garb.

And an attendee with a custom made Key System T-shirt.

The San Francisco City Football Club mascot. It's our local soccer club, whose jerseys are sponsored by SFMTA.
You think the Wordle is a challenge?
Go ahead! Try your hand at the ROUTLE!

Don't feel bad because a 7-year-old can get it and you can't!
