The cable cars run on underground cables and only traverse a relatively small part of San Francisco. They are great fun and are a must when in San Francisco. Trolleys are powered by overhead electric tracks and cover a much broader area. They are also very old and beautiful. The way to use public transportation in San Francisco is to buy a pass for the amount of days you will be in the city. Otherwise it can get quite expensive.There is a cable car museum in the city that shows how the system works.

The line that runs above ground down Market & to the Wharf is old & beautiful. The other lines that run underground down market, then above ground (except for 1 line) are very new & modern.
There are 3 cable car lines
Powell & Hyde
Powell & Taylor
California
The Powell & Hyde is the most scenic & fun. Both the Powell & Hyde and the Powell & Taylor start at Powell & Market.
