The Cable Car is the only moving National Historic Monument in the World – Sure South Dakota has Mount Rushmore, D.C. has the Lincoln Memorial, and New York has the Statue of Liberty but can any of those monuments transport you around the city? We think not. Built in 1873, the Cable Cars transport 9.7 million people around the city annually. For a detailed history of the SF Cable Cars, stop by the Cable Car Museum sometime, bonus, it’s free.
