Public Transportation
Muni F Line
When in San Francisco public transportation is the best way to get around. The Muni F Line runs along Market Street  then turns north on The Embarcadero, and runs right past the ferry terminal (on your right) and then on through Fisherman's Wharf. For detailed information on mass transit in San Francisco please visit the San Francisco Municipal Railway web site.
