New City: San Francisco
Today we are launching our 10th city on Tunnel Time: San Francisco. The tech hub of the world has been the location of many recent (and not so recent) trends in transportation. The ride sharing boom began in San Francisco with giants like Uber, Lyft and many others. More recently, SF has been ground zero for many e-scooter start-ups (Bird, Lime, Skip, etc.) as many players fight for marketshare in the last mile transportation market.
Before these tech giants called SF their home, the city was the first place in the world to implement cable cars. They also honour the world’s streetcars and trams with their Historical Streetcar fleet.
San Francisco has two transit operators that serve the city and the Bay Area: Muni and BART. While Muni and BART share some stations in the city and payment methods (Clipper Card), their differences and nuances can be a little different than what you’re used to.
