The clamor of the cable cars running up and down San Francisco's roller-coaster hills hasn't been heard since March when a shelter-in-place order shut down the city at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor London Breed shared on Twitter Tuesday the orange and burgundy cars will come out of hibernation this year.

"People have been asking whether the cable cars will be able to return as we emerge from COVID-19," Breed wrote. "Cable cars are a part of the fabric of San Francisco. They draw tourists, they help our economy, and I'm not going to let them just disappear. Cable cars will be back this year.

Yep

Very weird to look all the way up California Street and not cable cars or eve automobiles moving

Riding the cars reduces your chances of stepping in crap on the sidewalk, or being accosted by panhandlers.

If someone has ever had any good memories about Christmas or that part of the year, stepping into that store will bring them all back. Starting with the faint scent of pine and cranberry candles, at least when I went there.

I used to go there in the evenings....now I wouldnt visit during the day...changing planes at the airport is close enough TYVM...

San Francisco Airport isn't even in San Francisco. But it's close.

...and for those still out of work the free SnapCrap app can provide hours of amusement...now animated with the return of the cable cars...

Watch the little turd emojis travel back and forth on the map...zoom in to spot the steaming piles...place friendly bets on the exact location, running board, floor boards or seats ...brighten up your day!...available only on Apple iOS ....naturally.

The poop map tour?

At least in SF, nowadays, you don’t have to worry taking a last-minute potty break before leaving the house or hotel room or office...

Streets, curbs, alleys, sidewalks, and building entrances are readily available...

Amazing convenience!

LOL gmta...see my 26.

Oh, cable cars. This being San Fran Sicko and all I thought maybe Mayor Breed was referring to gay bath houses...

[GSWarrior]

Is the MUNI underground subway still closed? How about the Chinatown extension?

[Vendome]

Dunno.

I stay away from places like that.

breeding ground for nothing good...

[Lurker]

Are all those nasty smelling seals defecating on the boats still there, too?

I wouldn’t want to be on the maiden ride.

Dirty Harry Calahan?
I'd pay to see that!

Pelosi must be getting heat in SF and she thinks she has the money to start rebuilding and cleaning up.

[Billthedrill]

Cable cars? I thought they were talking about the Folsom Street Fair.

[M Kehoe]

No more poop?
