These "trolley cars" are built on technology dating back to the late 1800s but are still functioning well into the 21st Century! Imagine hitching a ride by grabbing a moving cable located under the ground, and to think not only are these cars heavy BUT also loaded down with a lot of tourists!
These are the infamous Cable Cars of San Francisco. In fact, many cities around the world had these cars running on their streets centuries ago, but as the technology improved, these cable cars were replaced with other vehicles of mass transportation. Trolley cars are powered by electricity, while these are pulled along by a moving cable.
In all types of weather, these cable cars are used not only by visitors to my City by the Bay, but residents also. It doesn't matter who rides them, these Cable Cars will be around for a long time!
