San Francisco

San Francisco is reasonably easy to walk around, but you are advised to be extremely careful - there are many muggers and thieves that could chose you as a victim.

The city has a brilliant tram system, or well-known with its better name 'Cable Cards', that will take you up-down-and-around the city with trams every few minutes.

There are also the odd bus, but tram is the favoured public transport.

There is also the reliable BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and CalTrain commuter train systems that reach suburban cities around the Bay, as well as SFO and OAK airports, plus, it's nearly an identical experience to that of MUNI.

BART will also take you to San Francisco's surrounding and equally quirky cities where you can either go to Berkeley and join an ultra-liberal movement or go to Oakland and join a gang, the surrounding cities easily match San Francisco in sheer strangeness.
