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.

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.

...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.

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!

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