The weekend will feature free rides on our historic motorcoach, trolleycoach and streetcar loops. You can board in front of the Railway Museum for trips that run in North Beach, The Embarcadero, North Waterfront and Telegraph Hill areas.

Both of our iconic “Boat Tram” streetcars will be on full display, along with plenty of classic rides like the 1896 “Dinky” streetcar, the 1928 “Melbourne” streetcar and the 1928 “Milan” streetcar.

You’ll also find the world’s oldest operating cable car, “Big” 19. Plus, the popular “Hyde Ride” cable car trip is available from our Hyde St & Beach St stop near Aquatic Park. It runs through to our Washington St & Powell St stop before turning back around.

Hop on our vintage buses, which will run along the Embarcadero, each showcasing the stylish Muni designs of its day. Designated Muni Heritage Bus Boarding signs will be placed near each open bus for attendees to peek inside.
