Driving Your Car in San Francisco
If you're visiting San Francisco - unless you are familiar with tight streets, intense traffic, rushing taxis, intimidating MUNI buses and confusing one-way streets - DON'T PLAN TO DRIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO. You will regret it.
San Francisco has more public transportation, more bus routes, more street cars, more light rail and more taxis than any other city north of Los Angeles (not to mention our Cable Cars and restored historic vintage street cars). There is no reason on Earth why you should feel you need to have your car in San Francisco. You simply don't need it.
Here's all the transit and public transportation information you will need to get anywhere in the City you want to be:
San Francisco Taxi Services
Taxis are the most common way for visitors to get around the City. Before you think about jumping in the back seat of a taxi, be VERY SURE you read this warning message first. You will also find a complete list of San Francisco taxi Companies with dispatch numbers and the taxi rates set for the City of San Francisco. This is a VERY valuable read: Taxicab Crooks & Scam Cabs in San Francisco
Public Transit in San Francisco
Public Transit in San Francisco:
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (MUNI)
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
California Rail Passenger Service (CalTrain)
Alameda - Harbor Bay Ferry
Alameda - Oakland Ferry
Angel Island - Tiburon Ferry
Blue & Gold Fleet
Golden Gate Ferry
Baylink Vallejo Ferry
Comprehensive List of All Transit Systems
Clearly, the most important public transportation link is 511.org
511.org lists all major transit systems throughout the greater San Francisco bay Area and includes bus systems, shuttle services, airport shuttle services, rail station shuttles, rail systems, ferry systems, commercial bus carriers, dial-a-ride systems, out-of-region transit systems and connections.
511.org will also give you real-time traffic info from Cal-Trans and the CHP in addition to best routes, maps, and ... when you get where you're going ... where to park the car (if you insist on driving your car).
San Francisco Car Rental
If you're planning on renting a car, forget the profit-hungry giants whose names we all recognize. Try City Car Share. They have cute fuel-efficient cars available for $5 per hour and 40 cents a mile. Gas, insurance and parking is included. Those of us who live in San Francisco absolutely know City Car Share to be your very best deal. Try all you like - you won't find a better overall car rental experience.

When people roll their eyes at San Francisco when they get into the news (usually something emanating from the Bored of Supes or da Mayor) this is but one of those things where it may be matter-of-factly pointed out that San Francisco does it better... than just about anywhere on Earth.
Happy New Year!
Thanks for all the links and resources. This is what blogs were originally intended to be: jumping-off points where people could find pointers to where they really want to go. Good work, Sam Spade!
