Leonard Oats, a driver on San Francisco's cable car lines , has been riding air tickets to hawaii the rails along Hyde Street for the past decade. Oats is also the multi-year champion of the cable car bell ringing contest , which draws crowds to Union Square every summer. Drivers are judged on rhythm, originality, and style and there's even a category for amateurs. Try your hand at ringing an iconic cable car bell on Thursday, June 17, at the 48th annual contest.
Oats drives on the Powell-Hyde line, possibly the city's most famous, which traverses the steepest hills from Powell in Union Square north to Fisherman's Wharf, going by landmarks like Lombard Street. We caught up with him to ask him some tips on how to get the most out of riding the cable cars because he would know!
The challenge of driving the car on the hills; air tickets to hawaii getting to meet people from all over the world; and everyday getting to see the Golden air tickets to hawaii Gate Bridge and the ocean. It's a great view and a beautiful city. I love it.
When you're going down to the water on Hyde Street, the right side is the best if you want to see it all. On the left side, all you see is the Golden Gate Bridge. But remember, air tickets to hawaii when you sit down, there might be people air tickets to hawaii in front of you, so try to get on early.
The secret is, unless you absolutely have to have a seat, you can walk one block up from the turnarounds (like the one at Powell and Market streets, or the one at Bay street and Fisherman's Wharf) and get on there, where it's less crowded. That's what the locals do. [ Editor's note : Very few locals actually take cable cars they offer scenic views but are not very efficient.]
People make a lot of mistakes. First, you should pay the conductor in the back and not the driver in the front I'm trying to drive! A lot of people think the cable cars are like a ride at Disneyland, but it's not. You have to be safe. When you get on, take off your backpack and put it by your feet. Otherwise, if it's sticking out of the car, it can get stuck on something and pull you right off. Believe me, it's happened. I think folks see people leaning air tickets to hawaii out of the cars in the movies, but it can be dangerous. Locals do ride by "hanging air tickets to hawaii off", but that just means they stand on the side.
A lot of people really like Alcatraz. I haven't gone, but my wife has, and she said it is scary. air tickets to hawaii I was a sheriff air tickets to hawaii before this and worked in a jail, so I don't really need to see another prison. But I do really enjoy the ferry trip over to Tiburon , where you can see the city from the water. I also like going to Twin Peaks , one of the highest air tickets to hawaii points in the city. A lot of tourists don't know about it because it's a little bit tough to get to. But there are some city bus tours that go up there now, or you if you've rented a car, it's worth a stop.
