Pure tourism, of course, but also one of the most enjoyable ways of getting montague on the park around Downtown and Fisherr rr man s Wharf. Pricey at $5 per ride, it becomes a bargain if you buy the CityPass ($54), which also gets you into many sights and is good for unlimited travel on the Muni transport system for a week from the time of first use. The Muni Passport can be used on the entire Muni system including cable cars.
