They don't dominate like they used to, but we still have vintage streetcars on Market and the Embarcadero
https://www.streetcar.org/
Same fare as other Muni busses and trams.
Also the main part of market st (including what's shown in the photo) is no longer for "civilian" cars - only buses, taxis, emergency, delivery vehicles (AFAIK)
So we're working our way back around to the picture, albeit slowly
I was so excited to see those when I was in the area last year! Unfortunately wasn't able to ride one 😞 but I did get some pictures. We need more streetcars
I'm really bummed I missed this event
a streetcar has a period appropriate jazz group for a free show. And they didn't charge fares either.
Turns out you can also rent the streetcars for events, which is pretty neat
would make for a fun night on the town.
