Cable Car Accidents

An estimated 22,000 people ride in San Francisco’s famous cable cars every day, including many tourists unfamiliar with how they operate. The cable car system is operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway (the Muni).

The Dangers of Cable Cars

A special report by a local San Francisco news team in 2007 revealed that mile for mile, cable cars are involved in more accidents and cause more injuries than any other type of public transportation in the United States. Pedestrians and bicyclists are frequent victims of accidents causing catastrophic injury or death.

Three cable car lines run in San Francisco:

  • Powell-Mason line (runs from Powell and Market to Bay and Taylor)
  • Powell- Hyde line (runs from Powell and Mason to Hyde and Beach)
  • California line (runs from California and Market to California and Van Ness)
