San Francisco's "F" Line Streetcar: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

San Francisco has experienced overwhelming success with its newly-introduced F-Embarcadero streetcar line. It's four miles long and carries 20,000 passengers a day, more than twice the projections.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports the line is so popular it has surpassed ridership of all of the city's cable cars combined, and the city has ordered 11 more streetcars just to keep up with demand. They're also already looking at expanding to new lines.

They've supplemented the system with buses, but one local business leader says he saw a man refuse to board, saying he wanted a streetcar, not a bus.
