Cable Cars like the one shown about were introduced to San Francisco in 1873 by Andrew Hallidie. The cable cars are a vital part to the transportation system because of the steep hilly terrain that makes up the city of San Francisco. There are 600 cars that cover about 52.8 miles. Cable cars operate 7 days a week and are used by both tourist and commuters. Both riders must pay a toll in order to ride on the cable cars.
The Golden Gate Bridge (above to the right) connects San Francisco with Marin County. The 1.2 mile bridge was built in 1937. It was a total of 35 million dollars to build and cost many men their lives during the construction of this massive bridge. Walking across the entire bridge would take about an hour round trip. Many people decide to veture across the giant bridge just to say they have done it.
