My wife and I traveled around San Francisco by bus. We found the service to be regular and comfortable, except perhaps a rush hours, and reasonable for us (NOTE: we both qualified for the $1.50 Senior rate which also entitles one to a transfer for the next 6 hours. So we left our car at our motel and bussed around town. We also found the drivers and other passengers to be very friendly and helpful when we had questions about our route. The 2 cabs we did take (regular city cabs) were also reasonable and speedy. (They can use the special express cab lanes, but Uber and Lyft cannot.)
