This is a very busy part of town because this is where the Powell Street cable car turns around and where one can board the car at the start of the trip up Nob Hill and on to the Wharf. Lots of tour…Full review by Thomas V

Looks fun but it is quite busy and there are a large number of people waiting there. This makes the waiting a bit longer for most.Full review by Bogi F

My husband and I took this trip together. We started in LA and drove up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco. Awesome!Full review by Freedom49589787508
Do all passengers have to get off the cable car when it gets to the turn around? My plan is to board it 1-2 stops before it gets there and stay on, thus beating the crowd.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. We visited SF several weeks ago and had a great time. I wish we had more than 3 days to visit the area but we tried to do as much as we could during that time. We bought 3 Day Visitor Passports and I used an app on my smart phone to use them each time we got on a bus or cable car. I'm kind of new to the electronic ticket thing but I managed. For boarding the cable cars, we walked 1-2 stops after the turn-around and got on at that point. I had heard that the conductor leaves room for additional passengers at the turn-around and it worked.

If you dont wish to wait for ages at the beginning, then get on at Union Square but be prepared to stand or be a little squished. Takes you to Fishermans Wharf and if you buy a pass you can also use this on buses and the BART system if you wish. We bought ours a Walgreens and purchased a 7 day pass which we used every day. Never had to pay for any other transportation except the taxi to the airport! Have fun
