Welcome to this episode of Echo recorded in San Francisco, CA. Erk went for a ride on the Muni Light Rail and Streetcar systems. He also recorded part of this episode on BART but due to recording FAIL, it does not make it onto the episode.
Erk rides the Red line on the Light Rail system and a couple of short trips on the F line Streetcar. Due to the massive amount of people, Erk didn’t ride but saw the famous San Francisco cable cars.

Yeah the BART ticket system isn’t the best for one-off trips. It’s designed more that you store a value on your ticket and you top up the same ticket as required – almost like a paper-based prepaid smartcard. They had their Sydney-style ticket barriers long before Sydney – since the late 70s at least.
Do you know if they have smartcard ticketing there?I thought the same company that was doing Sydney’s smartcard had already done one for San Francisco?
Cheers…
