PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
San Francisco is a transit-first city which means a great deal of effort and planning has
gone into making public transportation a viable alternative. In addition to taxis, the city has a great cable car, subway, light rail, trolley and bus system that is
within walking distance of the hotel. Traveling by way of San Francisco's public transit system is the ideal and fun way to explore the city's great neighborhoods, landmarks, parks and fine arts institutions.
