Public Transportation for Fleet Week
Around 1 million people come to watch the Blue Angels. The sheer size of the crowds for Fleet Week in San Francisco is pretty scary, so a hefty dose of patience is required for taking Bart or Muni.

Or walkto Fisherman's Wharf, about 35 minutes along the Embarcadero. The F-Line Trolley runs...

If you hit the evening rush hour on Bart or Muni, or a Giants game, or both like I did, you have my sympathy! It's a trade-off: expense vs. inconvenience. But it's al...
