San Francisco's E Embarcadero streetcar line opens

 

 

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) late last week announced the launch of the E Embarcadero streetcar line, also known as the "E Line."

The route provides a single-seat ride from AT&T Park and the nearby Caltrain station to Fisherman's Wharf and the northeast waterfront, SFMTA officials said in a press release.

It's about time!  It's been talked about for so long, and the infrastructure is already there and in use, save for the short connection near Market Street.

Muni to Debut E-Embarcadero Waterfront Streetcar in August

 

Muni's new E-Embarcadero streetcar, which will take passengers from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf to Caltrain's Fourth Street station via vintage streetcars, debuts weekend service on August 1.

 

The E didn't happen overnight, not by a longshot. SF Examiner noted that the waterfront streetcar has been in the works since 1979.
