点评:We bought a one day $15 pass for the cable cars (which includes the bus system) through the Muni Mobile app. Sometimes there was someone at the ticket booth at the Northern Hyde and Beach Street turnaround but we didn't always see someone there. When there was someone at the ticket kiosk, there was a line, so buying on the Muni Mobile app allowed us to skip the ticket line and go up in line in front of cable car. The operators we a fun group and made the experience better than if we were just taking a ride. You can sit inside or on the open air benches facing sideways or standing and hanging off the sides holding onto the bars like you see on TV. Keep in mind that you must get off at the end of the line in Union Square and get back in line to board another cable car is you want to return to the Northern station. One way is not a loop. One way is North to South end or vice versa. That means you,either have to pay the $9 (increasing in 2027 to $12) fare again. So the one day pass makes more sense. You may also get off at any stop and get back on (pay the one way fare again or get one day or weekly pass). Some stops include China,town, Lombard (crooked road) Street or the trolley museum. We stayed on until Union Square and got back in line to return to Hyde Street Northern Station. Also noticed that the folks along the way who wanted to board either squished themselves on inside the cable car standing room only or had to wait to squish themselves onto the next cable car. There are ques at either end so waiting in line seems more manageable at the ends because each trolley starts empty at these locations.
翻译:我们通过Muni Mobile应用程序购买了价格为15美元的一天通票(该通票也适用于公交系统)。有时在北海德街与比奇街交汇处的缆车换乘点,售票处会有人值守,但并非总是如此。当有人值班时,售票处前总会排起长队;因此通过Muni Mobile应用程序购票让我们得以避开售票队伍,直接去排队乘坐缆车。和我们一起乘坐的人都很风趣幽默,这让整个体验比单纯坐车要有趣得多。你可以坐在车内,也可以坐在朝侧面的露天长椅上,甚至可以像在电视上看到的那样站着、双手抓住扶手。需要注意的是:如果你想返回北端车站,就必须在联合广场这一站下车,然后重新排队才能搭乘另一辆缆车。单程路线并非环形线路,它只是从北端到南端或从南端到北端而已。这意味着……要么就得再次支付9美元的票价(2027年将涨至12美元)。因此,购买一日通票更为划算。您也可以在任意站点下车后再重新上车(此时需再次支付单程票费用,或者购买一日通票或周票)。沿途的站点包括唐人街、朗伯德街(那条弯弯曲曲的街道)以及电车博物馆。我们一直坐车到了联合广场,之后又排队准备返回海德街北站。我还注意到,那些想搭乘缆车的人,要么挤进已经挤满人的缆车里,要么就只能等着挤上下一班缆车。缆车两端都有排队区,由于在那些地方每辆缆车都是空车出发,所以排队等待似乎也没那么难熬。
