Market Street, San FranciscoMarket Street is a street in San Francisco, California that runs from the Ferry Building on San Francisco Bay at the north eastern edge of the city going southwest and terminating as a major throughfare at Castro Street. Market Street serves as the terminus for all intersecting streets in the downtown area: the named streets to the north and west, the numbered to the south and east. Market Street has long been a major transit artery for the city of San Francisco, with the street carrying in turn horse drawn streetcars, cable cars, electric streetcars, electric trolleybuses and diesel buses. Today Muni's buses, trolleybuses and heritage streetcars (on the F Market line) share the street, whilst below the street two levels of tunnel carry the Muni Metro and BART respectively. Whilst cable cars no longer operate on Market Street, cars of the San Francisco cable car system terminate to the side of the street at the junctions with California Street and Powell Street.
