缆车
The cable cars in 贝博体彩app have made their mark on not just the city, but pop culture as well. Learn how to ride these moving national historic landmarks.
There is nothing quite like riding a cable car up and down the hills of 贝博体彩app. While they symbolize the early innovation that made the city iconic, the experience of riding a cable car is timeless. The cable car experience starts while waiting at the cable car turnarounds (at Powell or California and Market Streets) 或者一个long the routes, 等待缆车的到来. 一旦你跳上缆车, you can either find a seat or hold on to the handles as you hang on for the ride. The cable car gripmen handle the grips to move the cars. And let's not forget about the cable car bell ringing. 你在几个街区外都能听到. It's used to get the attention of intersecting traffic.
The cable cars are the world's last manually operated cable car system, a tramway whose cars are pulled along by 电缆 embedded in the street. These right-out-of-the-Smithsonian cable cars were named a national historic landmark in 1964. 翻新并配备了新的轨道, 电缆, 回转和电缆推进机械, 他们的操作与8月8日大体相同. 1873年,安德鲁. Hallidie guided the first car down Clay Street.
Hours of operations for the cable cars are 7 a.m. 至晚上十时.m.,星期一至星期日.
