About the route

The Powell-Hyde Cable Car line operates from Market Street/Union Square via Powell to Russian Hill and the Fisherman's Wharf area via Hyde. The cable cars on this line are single-ended, with turntables at both termini to manually turn the cars around. On Powell Street, it shares tracks and a terminal (at Market) with the Powell-Mason Line. At Powell and California, it connects with the California Cable Car.

Cable car fares are charged. Ticket booths are available at both ends of the route. If a booth is closed or when boarding at other stops, pay the fare to the conductor onboard the cable car. You can also use Clipper or the Muni Mobile App to pay the cable car fare.

The cable car tracks on Hyde Street were originally built by the California Street Cable Railroad as part of the O'Farrell/Jones/Hyde Line, which opened in 1891. The California Street Cable closed in 1951, and the City of San Francisco acquired the line. Muni introduced this line in 1957 by combining it with the Washington/Jackson Line and removed cable car tracks on Jones and on Washington and Jackson west of Hyde. The cable car system was completely rebuilt between 1982 and 1984.
