San Francisco has the most extensive and best connected public transit
system on the west coast and one of the most diverse in the country.
Muni is the city-owned public transit system which operates the
Muni Metro light rail system, the F Market heritage streetcar line
and the famous San Francisco cable car system (see above), together
with buses and electric trolleybuses. BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit)
is the regional transit system, which connects San Francisco with
the East Bay through an underwater tunnel, and the San Mateo County,
California communities on the San Francisco Peninsula. In addition,
a commuter rail service, Caltrain, operates between San Francisco,
San Jose, California and Gilroy, California. A small fleet of commuter
ferries operate from the Embarcadero to points in Marin County,
Oakland, and north to Vallejo in Solano County.
