About the route

The 33 Ashbury/18th Street is a crosstown trolley bus route running from the Inner Richmond at Sacramento & Cherry to SF General Hospital via Arguello, Fulton, Stanyan, Haight, Ashbury, Clayton, Market, 18th St, Mission, 16th St, and Potrero. This route features the famous hairpin turn at Market & Clayton.

Route 33 began as the 18th & Park Streetcar route, operated by the San Francisco & San Mateo Electric Railway Company in 1892. It was the city's second electric streetcar route when most lines were cable cars without overhead wires. The streetcars ran from 3rd & Harrison in South of Market to Golden Gate Park, with a switchback at Market & Clayton. The route was later acquired by Market Street Railway and assigned the number 33. In 1935, it transitioned to trolley buses, becoming San Francisco's first trolley bus route. In the 1980s, Route 33 was extended northward, and the eastern terminus was shifted from SOMA to SF General.
