I remember riding the same-type cars in Los Angeles in the 1950s. Taken out in 1962. Now we have light rail. Gonna take years to equal what we had then....

One of the many reasons why San Francisco is unique!

These old street cars were awesome. We had em' here in pittsburgh P.A. up until about 6 or 7 years ago I think? (maybe a bit longer). I think they were called "PCC'S" PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION CARS. They were more reliable than the newer light rail vehicles. The new LRV's kept breaking down alot. They would go so fast that Port Authority Transit here in PGH PA put pegs under the accelerators to keep the conductors from speeding.

I am just glad the use of trolley poles is retained on these vintage streetcars in San Francisco. It's disheartening to see pantographs have replaced trolley poles in Melbourne's historic trams. Vintage trams and modern single-armed pantographs belong to very different eras and should not be seen in one picture!!

How do they meet the ADA requirements?

Great video! I have been trying to get out there for years, and this is a great sampler! Great to see the cars in regular service as they were intended. Keep up the great work!
