For those looking to travel further afield, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni) is a comprehensive system that includes buses, streetcars, and the iconic cable cars. Muni also offers the Muni Passport, a cost-effective way to enjoy unlimited rides for one, three, or seven-day periods.
If you’re looking to venture outside San Francisco proper, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) provides high-speed rail service to other areas of the region, including the San Francisco International Airport. For those needing to get around quickly, ride-sharing apps or taxi services are readily available. However, sticking to public transportation is a budget-friendly alternative.
While a car is unnecessary for exploring central San Francisco, those seeking to explore the outlying areas may find it convenient. Regardless, opting for walking or public transit is not only practical but also offer a unique and immersive way of experiencing everything this vibrant city has to offer.
