Rideshare & Taxis
Uber and Lyft are prevalent in the city and available for transportation to/from any of the Bay Area airports. If taxis are more your thing, Flywheel also runs in the city.
Public Transportation
Cable and street cars are an efficient and quintessential mode of transportation in SF. Allow the Cable Car to pull you up Nob Hill or take the street car to Fisherman’s Wharf for a scenic way to see the City.

Because Jenny thinks that running is a perfectly normal form of transportation, check out some of the City’s most popular running routes. Two of her favorite runs are flat along the Embarcadero and out to Hopper’s Hands at Fort Point.
