An unsleepable bus stop (2008) Despite being in California, with its famous/notorious love for the car, San Francisco is quite well served with public transport. Getting around the city is relatively quick and easy, especially in the areas around downtown. Getting into and out of the city can be a bit more of a problem, especially late at night.
