How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The red cable cars that climb San Francisco's hills, one of the ways to get around the city in the game.
The real place
Andrew Hallidie ran the first cable car up Clay Street in 1873. San Francisco's is the last manually operated cable car system in the world, with three lines still running, and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The cars are pulled by a moving cable under the street.
Visiting
The queue at the Powell and Market turntable can be long; board at a later stop or ride the quieter California Street line. The Cable Car Museum on Mason Street, where you can see the winding machinery, is free.
