50 years ago, Muni painted up a streetcar (plus 2 buses) for America’s bicentennial. This year, the focus is on fireworks and other local activities, but, hey, it’s a good excuse for a pic.

Muni Heritage Weekend, Sept. 23-24, 2023
The family-friendly Muni Heritage Weekend lets you ride vintage streetcars and buses and special cable cars that rarely operate. The world’s oldest cable car (1883), one of the oldest electric streetcars (1896), the very first streetcar Muni owned (1912), and the wildly popular English open-top “Boat Tram” (1934) will all be carrying passengers between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, September 23-24.

After a spectacular restoration, a 1940s streetcar paying tribute to Philadelphia’s “Red Arrow” lines is again carrying passengers on the streets of San Francisco.
