EN FR RU UA

Located in the state of California (USA).

San Francisco cable car system is one of the types of public transport in San Francisco and one of the attractions of the city.

A cable car system is a hybrid of a tram with a funicular and a cable car. The car moves with the help of a metal cable mechanically connected to it, which is moved along the route by means of an engine located on a stationary platform at a depot or at a traction substation.

The cable car system is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.
