Shaping SF Transit History Tour

Discover lost freeways, ghosts of train routes, and a vivid account of how San Franciscans moved around and over this peninsula through time. Hear about the violent strikes that shaped public transit, the graft and corruption that conquered the Outside Lands, a history of bicycling, and about the ships and horses that once did it all before bridges, cars, buses, and railroads. It's a social, historical, and critical tour through the city's transportation past and present.
