Watch the video below to take a ride on one of the San Francisco cable cars and learn a little on how they work. My family and I recently took a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, and were able to spend a few hours in downtown San Francisco. We of course had to ride the iconic cable cars, an activity I highly recommend.
A few of the static images in the video showing the route map and the Cable Car Grips are from the Cable Car Museum website: http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/ride.html
