San Francisco MTA

Muni's incomparable antique streetcars
Muni operates more streetcars that originated in other cities than any other transit agency in the world. This serves as a tribute both to San Francisco’s role as a global crossroads for commerce and trade, and as the adopted home for people from all over the world. Muni also boasts one of the best collections of operating hometown streetcars in service anywhere. This combined collection of unique cars transports riders to bygone eras and distant places.
San Francisco's own
At the core of Muni’s vintage streetcar collection are six streetcars built between 1895 and 1924. They include one of the city’s first streetcars, a survivor of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire; America’s first publicly-owned big city streetcar; two cars built to carry San Franciscans to the 1915 World’s Fair, and the sole survivor of some 250 streetcars built by hand in San Francisco by Muni’s private rival, after which our nonprofit organization is named, the Market Street Railway Company. There’s also a unique 'work car' still doing its job after 90 years on the tracks. Click on the pictures to see the story of each car.
Celebrating port cities and maritime nations around the world
San Francisco is one of the great port cities in the world, so it’s fitting that streetcars that serve the world-famous Ferry Building, Fisherman’s Wharf, and other waterfront venues should come from other great port cities and maritime nations around the world. This collection includes genuine 'Streetcars Named Desire' from New Orleans, as well as streetcars from Australia, Belgium, England, Germany, Japan, Portugal, and Russia. Not all of these cars are currently operational; support is welcomed to bring more of them into the operating fleet. Click on the pictures to see the story of each car.
