Good photographic history on streetcars of San Francisco. It's great for kids , teens, adults and seniors.

Great streetcar museum - worth a visit - photos, maps, models, and even Maya Angelou

Rochelle McCune

Free admission . Pretty cool gift shop . While they have info about railways in general, their focus is the groovy vintage F-line railcars that run up Market and along The Embarcadero.

It's small - you'll be in and out in 20 minutes - but interesting, especially for transit nerds.

The staff will talk your ear off if you let them :-).

Great for kids . They have a train table. And they have a front of a train they can pretend to drive...

Less of a museum more a gift shop . Great tee shirts

Tiny, cute space. Stop in to see the old cars!

Take a F-Market streetcar to the Steuart Street stop by the Ferry Building and pick up a t-shirt with the old Muni logo.

Nicholas Roznovsky

It's mostly a gift shop , but there is enough history in there to keep you occupied for 10 minutes or so.

Un tout petit musée un peu planqué mais qui vaut vraiment le coup pr mieux comprendre SF et en savoir plus sur l'histoire des transports en commun de la ville
