"Muni's most charming rides are back for summer, and this year they're free all the way from Castro to Fisherman's Wharf. As part of the Summer Vintage Streetcar Service, you can ride one of Muni's historic streetcars every Friday and Saturday through October 11, 2025. Each weekend, the vintage cars rotate among the fleet, so you might ride the breezy open-air Boat Tram from Blackpool, Melbourne Tram, Milan Tram, Zurich/Brussels Tram, or even Car No. 1, Muni's first streetcar from 1912." Note: SFMTA's official video lists October 13 as the last day, but since that's a Monday and the service runs only Fridays and Saturdays, we believe the final rides will be on October 11, 2025. 2025 Details When: Fridays & Saturdays through October 11, 2025 Hours: First trip leaves Castro around 12:50 PM, last trip starts back from the Wharf around 7 PM"
