As the only city-state in California, San Francisco occupies an area of about 46.9 square miles of England (121 kilometers) on the north end of the San Francisco Peninsula. Its population density is about 17,620 people per square mile (6,803 people per square kilometer). This is the largest city (population above 200,000) of the population in California and the second largest city in population density in the United States, just after New York City. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California, after Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, and stood the 14th most populated place in the United States under the estimate of the 2012 population survey of 825,863. The city is also a cultural and financial center of the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland statistic region with a total population of 8.4 million.
San Francisco (which means "Saint Francis") was founded on June 29, 1776 when the colonialists from Spain founded a military base at the Golden Gate and a missionary named Saint Francis to Assisi a few miles away. The California Gold Rush of 1849 led to rapid growth of the city and turned it into the largest city on the U.S. Coast at that time. Because of the population growth, San Francisco became a unified prefecture in 1856. After three quarters of the city was devastated by the fire and the earthquake in 1906, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt and held the Panama-Pacific Fair nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of bringing troops into service to the Pacific Ocean. After the war, the soldiers who served the war returned, the huge immigration, the ideas and the radical freedom of expression, as well as many other factors that had already met here and formed the social phenomenon of the Summer Love and the gay rights movement, that turned the city of San Francisco into a center of progressive freedom in the United States.
Today, San Francisco is ranked 44th as a tourist destination around the world and sixth places to travel to the United States in 2011. The city is famous for its summer, fog, steepest hills, diversified architecture and landmarks including Golden Gate bridge, traditional bus runs on Alcatraz Island and Chinatown. The city is also a major financial and banking center.
History of history
1821-1823 Mexican Empire
1823-1848 Mexican United Nations
The oldest sighting of human life in the San Francisco area was in 3000 BC. The Ohlone tribe's Yelamu group lived in several small villages when an Don Gaspar de Portois expedition on November 2, 1769, was the first visit to the San Francisco Bay area recorded. Seven years later, on March 28, 1776, Spain established a camp and then a missión de San Francisco de Asís" (or "Missión Dolores").
Immediately after independence from Spain in 1821, the region became part of Mexico. Under the authority of the Mexican government, the propaganda is gradually over and the land of the society is privatized. In 1835, an English man named William Richardson set up the first independent farmland, near a pier around the area today, in Portsmouth Square. Along with Francisco de Haro, he designed the street design to expand his settlement. A town named Yerba Buena began to attract American settlers to come here. General John D. Sloat declared California's sovereignty on July 7, 1846 in the Mexican-American War. Two days later, Colonel John B. Montgomery came and declared his dominance to Yerba Buena. Yerba Buena is changed to San Francisco on January 30 next year, and Mexico is formally assigned to the United States at the end of the war. Although its attractive position in the role of a port and naval base, San Francisco is still a small settlement with terrain that is unlikely to survive.
The California Gold Rush brings the human wave of gold. With sour bread and tarp, people who spent their time in San Francisco instead of the rival town of Benicia, which makes the population of San Francisco rise from 1000 in 1848 to 25,000 in December 1849 and the fast-growing part of the boat of the 1849. all the way to the docks, all the way down to the gold search zones, leaving a mast in the San Francisco docks. California is quickly taken as a state. The U.S. military built a Point fort at the Golden Gate and a station on Alcatraz Island to defend San Francisco Bay. The discovery of the silver mines, including the 1859 Comstock mine, moved the population up even faster. With every group of people searching the city for a stretch, the state of unlawful incompetence became common. The town's Barbary coastal complex is a place of the body of crime, gambling and prostitution.
Businesses seek to profit from the prosperity that the yellow fever creates. The first major winners were the banking industry, which characterized the Wells Fargo Bank founded in 1852 and the Bank of California in 1864. The development of the San Francisco Port and the establishment of a 1869 national route to the rail system in the east of the US by the newly completed Railway of the Pacific. It's helping turn the San Francisco Bay area into a mall. To satisfy the growing population's demand and taste, Levi Strauss opens a clothing store and Domingo Ghirardelli starts producing chocolate. The migrant workers had turned this place into a multilingual culture. The Chinese railway workers established the city's Chinaman area. In 1870, the Asian (the majority Chinese) accounted for 8 percent of the population. The first cable car to take the San Francisco people up to Clay Street in 1873. The city's Victoria architectural Sea started to form and civil leaders lobbied to allow the city to build a widely disseminated public park as a result of the planned Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco people built schools, churches, theaters and all the essentials of civil life. The San Francisco barrier was developed as the most important military base of the United States on the Pacific Coast. In 1890, the San Francisco population reached 300,000 people and became the eighth largest city of the United States in that time. Around 1901, San Francisco was a big city known for its kind of dazzling, sanitary hotels, homegrown villas on Nob Hill and a rich artistic landscape. The first North American outbreak was the San Francisco epidemic 1900-1904.
At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, a major earthquake struck San Francisco and Northern California. As buildings collapsed with tremor, damaged gas pipelines contributed to the flames that spread throughout the city. The fire couldn't be put out for days and nights. Because the water system didn't work, the San Francisco Artillery Corps tried to stop the fire by putting explosives down the blocks to create a fire-proof point. More than three-quarters of the city was devastated, with most of the city's central areas. The contemporary fatality was reported to be about 498 deaths but modern estimates suggest several thousands. In addition, the city's population of 400,000 has become homeless. The temporary settlers in tents were set up in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, on beaches, and everywhere else. Many have left the city permanently to get to East Bay (east bay).
The reconstruction was carried out quickly on a large scale. Ignore calls for a complete reversal of the streets horizontally along the line, the San Francisco people selected the speed of reconstruction. The Italian bank of Amadeo Giannini then became Bank of America, providing loans to many people whose livelihood has been destroyed after the earthquake. The highly influential San Francisco Research and Planning Association was established in 1910 to address the quality of housing after the earthquake. The quake has fueled the development of the Western settlements. These neighborhoods still exist after the fire in Pacific Heights where many of the city's rich men rebuilt their homes. Next, the devastated villas of Nob Hill turned into big hotels. The San Francisco City Hall was built in the manner of the magnificent Beaux-Arts, and the city celebrated its birthday on the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Fair.
It was during this period that San Francisco built some of the most important infrastructure projects in the city. Public engineer Michael O'Shaughnessy was hired by mayor James Rolph as the city's chief engineer in September 1912 to oversee the construction of a Twin Peaks pond, a Stockton Tunnel, Twin Peaks Street, a San Francisco railway, a high-pressure fire extinguisher system, and a new water supply system. The basic transportation system of San Francisco that a number of the J, K, L, M, and N line lines are still present today, is urgently completed under the supervision of O'Shaughnessy, between 1915 and 1927. The O'Shaughnessy Dam, the Hetchy Water Supply, and the Largest Hetchy Aqueduction. for the city of San Francisco. The abundant supply of water allows San Francisco to become the city of San Francisco as it is now.
In the years to come, the city strengthened its position as a financial government. As a result, after the collapse of the stock market in 1929, no single bank had its headquarters in San Francisco collapsed. In fact, right at the height of the Great Depression, San Francisco conducted two great public administration engineering projects at the same time the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge, completed them in 1936 and 1937 in order. It was during this period the Isle of Alcatraz, an ancient military prison, that began to serve as a federal prison with maximum security level, detaining infamous prisoners such as Al Capone, and Robert Franklin Stroud (alias Birdman of Alcatraz). San Francisco then celebrates the rebirth of her power by a world fair, which was the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Fair. The city built the artificial Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay to serve this fair.
During World War II, the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard repaired has become a naval operations center, and Fort Mason has become the main port for serving the Pacific Ocean. The employment explosion has led to many people, particularly African-Americans from South America, to this area. After the war, many military personnel returned from foreign countries and previous civilians came to look for jobs decided to stay here. The Charter for the Creation of the United Nations was drafted and signed in San Francisco in 1945 and in 1951, the San Francisco Convention officially ended the war with Japan.
Urban planning projects in the 1950s and 1960s included extensive destruction and reconstruction of new highways. However, only a series of short freeways were built before they were suspended for the protest of the city's citizens. As containment begins, the small shipping bridges in San Francisco are becoming obsolete so that movement of goods is moved to a larger Oakland port. The city begins to lose industrial jobs and moves to tourism as the most important sector in its economy. Suburban areas undergo rapid development. San Francisco also experienced significant demographic change as large numbers of white people left the city and replaced by an increasing wave of migration from Asia and Latin America. From 1950 to 1980, the city lost more than 10 percent of its population.
Over this period, San Francisco became a magnet for the American counter-cultural movement. World Beat writers came on the San Francisco Rebellion and concentrated on the North Beach residential area in the 1950s. The Hippie movement rushed to the Haight-Ashbury residential neighborhood in the 1960s with the peak of the Summer of Love in 1967. In 1974, the murders. bra made at least 16 people dead. Twenty-two murders took place over a long six-month period in which the majority of the victims were white with three suspects were arrested as black. In the 1970s, the city became a center of the gay rights movement in the presence of the population of The Castro’s in the role of the gay community, the Harvey Milk event (who claimed as gay) elected in the San Francisco Supervisory Council, and his assassination against the former mayor George Moscone in 1978.
Bank of America completed the building of "555 California Street" in 1969 and Transamerica Pyramid completed in 1972, raising a wave of "Manhattan" (Manhattan as the center of New York City, which has many skyscrapers) that lasted until the end of the 1980s, a period of long building. the floor is downtown. The 1980s also witnessed a large increase in the number of homeless people in the city, a problem that is still present today even though several efforts have been made to address this situation. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused devastation and damage throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In San Francisco, the earthquake severely damaged projects in the Marina and the South of Market. The Embarcadero High Highway was damaged and most of the Central Highway was damaged, so the city could repair the coastal front lines in the city's history and regenerate the population of Hayes Valley.
During the dot-com boom period, newly opened companies added resources to the city economy. A large number of firms and developers were moving into the city, followed by sales experts, design and marketing, and changed the face of the city's society as the preceding neighborhoods were more and more vibrant. The demand for new housing and office space has created a second-floor, high-rise wave that is now the South of Market. In 2000, the city's population reached a new high number, passing the recorded record of 1950. When the Dot-com bubble collapsed in 2001 many of these companies packaged and discharged their workers. But high technology and self-help businesses are still the main line of the San Francisco economy. The explosion of social media was the trigger of the city economic development during the second decade of the new century.
Geography
San Francisco is located on the West Coast of the United States on the north end of the San Francisco Peninsula. The city's border consists of several significant areas of the Pacific and the San Francisco Bay. Some of the islands - Alcatraz, the Treasure Island and the nearby Yerba Buena Island, and some of the small parts of Alameda, Red Rock Island, and Angel Island - are part of the city. In addition, the unmanned Farallon Islands is about 27 miles (43 kilometers) in the Pacific. The main interior of the city was almost a "square with a seven-mile long edge," which is a common localized way of saying that refers to the shape of the city, although its total area consists of nearly 232 square miles (600 km2).
San Francisco is famous for its hills. There are more than 50 hills inside the city territory. Some of the populated places are named for the hills they lie on, including Nob Hill, Potrero Hill, and the Russian Hill (from Hill means Hill). Near the geographic center of the city, in the south-west side of the main street, is a series of hills with few inhabitants. Twin Peaks is a hillside that shapes the highest point of the city. This is a favorite view of looking down. The highest level of San Francisco is in Mount Davidson at 925 feet (282 meters) and has a 103-foot tall cross tree (31 meters) built in 1934. The height completely exceeded this area is the Sutro Tower, a big red and white radio tower.
The seismic fractures of San Andreas and Hayward are the cause of earthquake, although both of these cuts actually don't cross the city. The San Andreas fault was caused by the earthquake in 1906 and 1989. Small earthquakes occurred repeatedly. The threat of large earthquakes plays a large role in the development of the city's infrastructure. The city builds a water supply system that provides support and continually upgrades high-rise standards, which force reinforcement of old buildings and high technical standards for new buildings. However, thousands of smaller buildings could easily be damaged by the earthquake.
The shoreline of San Francisco has been growing outside its natural territory. The entire population of the Marina, Mission Bay, and Hunters Point as well as the majority of Embarcadero lies above the marine landfill. The Treasure Island is built from dredging land in the bay and stone from building tunnels that cross the island of Yerba Buena while building bridges over the bay. Such land has a non-sustainable path of earthquakes. Liquid post-earthquake damages property housing will be built above as seen in the Marina region during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Most municipal water streams such as Islais Creek and Mission built on top of the site, despite the San Francisco Public Commission, are researching for disaster or highlights. restore some of the laces.

One common misconception was that Mark Twain was read as after "The coldest winter I've ever had was a summer in San Francisco." The San Francisco climate has a cool Mediterranean climate characteristic of the coast of California during summer, "usually there is a wet mild winter and dry summer." Because it's surrounded on three sides of the water, the San Francisco climate is strongly influenced by the cold water of the Pacific, which mediates temperature change and produces a climate around the year that is relatively peaceful with little seasonal changes.
Among the major cities in the United States, San Francisco has the lowest, highest and average temperatures daily compared to other places in June, July and August. In summer, hot air rising in the California inland valley forms a low-pressure area, blowing winds from the North Pacific through the Golden Gate and creating special fog of the city. Fog is less visible in the densely populated areas, as well as less visible during the summer and early fall years, the warfares are the warmest stage of the year.
Because of the complex terrain and the influence of the sea, San Francisco has countless separate climates. The high hills in the geographic center of the city are responsible for 20% of the annual rainfall between different parts of the city. They are also directly protecting the densely populated areas from the fog and sometimes very cold and windy weather conditions that Sunset suffers. For those of you who live on the east of the city, San Francisco has more sun than 260 days on average, and only 105 days have clouds in one year.
The average temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) in the order of 29 days per year. In the dry season from May to October, the temperature from moderate to warm at an average of 64-71° F (18-22°C) and the average temperature is 51-56°F (11-13°C). In the rainy season from November to June, the temperature is slightly colder with the average temperature of 58-64°F (14-18°C) and the average is 46-51°F (8-11°C). On average, there are 73 days of rainfall per year, and the average annual rainfall is 23.6 inches (599.44 mm). The snow in the city was very rare with only 10 significant thicknesses reported since 1852, most recently in 1976 when up to five inches (130 mm) of snow fell on Twin Peaks.
The highest record temperature recorded by the U.S. National Weather Office is officially 103°F (39°C) on July 17, 1988, and June 14, 2000. The lowest record is 27° F (-3° C) on 119, December. 2.

Landscape of the City
Populated places
The San Francisco Historical Center is a northeastern region with Market Street and a coastal surface. It's the financial center with the nearby Union Square that's the hotel and procurement area. The cable trucks carry passengers up the steep track to the top of Nob Hill, which used to be an area of the city's commercial oasis and takes passengers down to tourist attraction points at the sea coast of Ben Fisherman's dock and 39 ships bridge, where many of Dungeness's special place is located. In the same direction area, the Russian Hill, a populated area in the streets of Lombard, known as curling around; North Beach, the Massive Profit of the city and the center of the "Beat Generation" social phenomenon; and Telegraph Hill, which has the Coit Tower. Between the Russian Hill and North Beach is the San Francisco Ship Street, the oldest railroad in North America. The South of Market, formerly the industrial center of San Francisco, was receditable after the AT&T Park stadium was built and the departure of start-up companies. New skyscrapers, new streets and co-residents were growing throughout the area. The new developments are continuing just south of the Mission skyscraper, once a railroad facility and now have a second base at the University of California, San Francisco.
On the main west side of Van Ness is the largest residential area Western Addition, which was the crowded neighborhood of African-American after World War II. The community of Western Addition is normally divided into smaller residential areas including Hayes Valley, the Fillmore, and Japan Street, which was the largest Japanese city in North America but was damaged as Japanese-American residents were forced to travel and be detained during World War II camps. Western Addition escaped the devastation of the San Francisco 1906 earthquake. The Victorian architectural buildings were largely intact after the earthquake, which would include the famous "Painted Ladies" houses along the Alamo Bay. On the south side, near the geographic center of the city is the famous Haight-Ashbury area associated with the hippie culture in the 1960s. The area now has a number of small shops selling far flukes. Northern of Western Addition is Pacific Heights, a prosperous residential zone consisting of the buildings and towns of San Francisco built after the 1906 quake. Just north of Pacific Heights facing the coast of Marina, a residential area of young specialists. This area is built mostly on land and landfill.
Within the southeast navigation area of the city, the Mission — in the 19th century, there was a population of people speaking Spanish and living in the working class from Germany, Italy, Ireland and Scandinavia. In the 1910s, a wave of remigrants located in the Mission region and in the 1950s people from Mexico began to occupy a majority. In recent years, the development program has changed the population of a number of places in the Mission region from a Spanish-speaking population to a 20-year-old specialists with hipster lifestyle. Noe Valley is in the southwest and Bernal Heights on the south side becoming increasingly attractive to young families of children. The east of the Mission is a Potrero Hill residential zone, a densely populated area, consisting of only housing, from which to be able to see the sights of the main city of San Francisco. In the west side of the Mission, the area in history is called the Eureka Valley, which is now known as the Castro, which is once part of the Irish and Scandinavia working class. It became the first and famous gay village of North America and is now central to the city's gay lifestyle. The Excelsior area that lies close to the southern edge of the city is one of the most diverse settlements in San Francisco. The Bayview-Hunters Point area, with the majority of African-American people far from the southeast corner of the city, was one of the poorest and most crime areas, although the region has been and is at the heart of controversial urban upgrading projects.
Building of the 1918 Twin Peaks tunnel connected the neighborhoods to the main street in crude vehicles, dashed rapid progress in development of the West Portal area, and affected areas as Forest Hill and St. Francis Wood is near. Far west, stretching to the Pacific and north to the Golden Gate Park is the vast Sunset. This is the major, middle-class region with a majority of Asian origin. The northwest city is the Richmond region, which is also the majority of the middle-class population in the northern Golden Gate Park and is the residence of migrants from Asian countries as well as many Russian and Ukrainian migrants.
Beaches and parks
Some of San Francisco's parks and all its surrounding beaches form part of the Golden Gate National Entertainment Zone. This is one of the most visited park units in the U.S. national park system with over 13 million visitors per year. Among the breathtaking points of the national entertainment area within the city is the Ocean Bank which runs along the Pacific Coast, which is a backdrop of the surfing community and the Baker Beach is in a double-blind area in the West Golden Gate and part of the San Francisco station. Also inside the station is the Crissy LZ, an airport that was previously restored to its ecosystem, including natural salt water. The entertainment area also manages the fort at Funston, Lands End, Mason and Alcatraz. The U.S. National Park Self-managing the San Francisco Sea History Park - a historic train and real estate on the frontiers surrounding Aquatic Park.
There are over 220 parks maintained by the San Francisco Department of Park and Entertainment. The largest and most famous park in the city is the Golden Gate Park, which runs from the center of the city in the west to the Pacific. Used to be covered with grasses and sand cartilage, the park was formed in the 1860s and was planted with a variety of grasses that were not localized. The big park consists of many of natural and cultural charisma such as "Conservatory of Flowers", the Japanese tea garden, the San Francisco Botanical Garden. The Merced Lake is a freshwater lake surrounded by parks and it's near the San Francisco Zoo, a city-owned park has over 250 animals, there are also some types of endangered animals. The only park in the California State Park system is located within the city of San Francisco and Candlestick Point. This is the first city entertainment area in California.
Contemporary culture and life
While the financial sector, Union Square, and the Famous Fisheries were all over the world, San Francisco was also remarkable because of a myriad of culturally rich streets and compounded areas surrounded by central trade corridors where residents and tourists could walk back and forth. Because of these features, San Francisco was graded as the "easiest to walk" city by Walkscore.com. Many residential areas have all kinds of commercial establishments, restaurants and entertainment centers, meet the daily needs of local residents and serve tourists. Some populated areas have small shops, coffee shops and nightclubs such as Union City in the Cow Hollow District, 24 Street in Noe Valley, Valencia Street in Mission and Irving Street in Sunset.

Education
Universities and colleges
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is the only branch of the University of California system that is specialized for post-graduate education in medicine and biology. The school is ranked among the top five medical schools in the U.S. and operates the California University Medical Center at San Francisco, which is among the top 15 hospitals in the country. The UCSF hired second-best local workers, only after the San Francisco government. A branch opened up 43 acres in size (170,000 meters 2) at the Mission Bay Area in 2003, adding to the school's base at Parnassus. It includes research and material facilities for the science of life and biotechnology and will double the level of UCSF research agenda. In total, the UCSF runs over 20 sites across San Francisco. University of California, Hastings Law School, founded in Civic Center in 1878, is the oldest law school in California and is the place where more state judges are trained than any other institution. Two universities in the California University of San Francisco have recently joined formal to form the UCSF/UC Hastings Association on Law, Science and Health Policy.
San Francisco State University is part of the California State University system and it's near Merced Lake. The school has about 30,000 students and degrees of Bachelor's degrees, master masters and PhDs in over 100 fields. San Francisco City College, with its main base in Ingleside, is the largest community college in the country. It has about 100,000 student enrollments. The school has a diversity of educational programs that move forward four years to the university level.
Established in 1855, the University of San Francisco, a private university of the Jesus Church in Mount Lone, is the oldest high level education institution in San Francisco and one of the oldest universities established in the western Mississippi River. The Golden Gate University is a non-sectional private education university established in 1901 and located in the San Francisco financial district. The primary school is a graduate-university institution specializing in law and business training, with a few graduate training programs related to the professional and post-graduate level of the school.
For the number of 13,000 students enrolled in graduate school, Academy of Art is the largest Academy of Arts and Design in the country. Established in 1871, the San Francisco Art Institute is the oldest art school in the western Mississippi River. The California Art College, which is located north of Potrero Hill, has architectural, art, design and writing programs. San Francisco Music Preservation, the only independent music school in the U.S. Coast, degrees in musical instruments, office music, composition and conductor music. The California Cuisine Academy, which is related to Le Cordon Bleu, has programs on cooking art, cooking art and making stuffed cakes and running restaurants and serving customers.
Primary and secondary schools
Public schools run by the San Francisco Unified School District, while the state education committee is in charge of several public schools. Lowell High School, the oldest public high school in the western Mississippi river of the United States, along with the smaller High School of Arts, is two of San Francisco's gravitational schools at the secondary level. Less than 30 percent of the population is enrolled in school in one of the more than 100 public or religious schools, compared to 10 percent nationally. Nearly 40 of the schools are the Catholic schools run by the San Francisco Diocese.
Transport
Highway and highway
Because of its unique geographic position and opposition to building highways in the late 1950s, San Francisco is one of the few U.S. cities that have massive urban highways rather than the numerous highways in the city.
The Interstate 80 highway begins near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and is the only direct route for vehicles to the East Bay. The U.S. National Highway 101 connects to the west end of Interstate Highway 80 and provides a way south of the city along the San Francisco Bay toward the electronic Valley. To the north, the U.S. Highway 101 uses streets: Mission Street, Van Ness Street, Lombard Street, Richardson Street and the Doyle Road to connect to the Golden Gate bridge, this is the only direct route for vehicles to the Marin and North Bay.
The California State Highway 1 also entered San Francisco from the North through the Golden Gate bridge but turned south from the course of the United States Highway 101, first entered the Presidio State Avenue through the Golden Gate Park and then cut two west parts of the city as a highway on Route 19, entering the Interstate Highway 280 in the south of the city. The Interstate 280 Highway continues its south route along the mid-half of the peninsula to the city of San Jose. The 280 Interstate Highway faces east along the south edge of the city, which ends just south of the San Francisco Bay bridge in the South of Market. After the Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake, city leaders decided to destroy the Embarcadero Expressway and voters also agreed to level a part of the Central Highway, making it the highways that lie on the street.
California State Highway 35, extending a large part of the peninsula along the back of the Santa Cruz Range, comes into the city from the south called Skyline, along city streets until it ends at the intersection with the California State Highway 1. California State Highway 82 goes to San Francisco from south as the name of Mission, according to the Royal Highway. Spain is El Camino Real, and it ends immediately at its intersection with Interstate Highway 280, the western head of Lincoln Highway across the continent is at Lincoln Park. The main roads leading east-west were Geary Avenue, Lincoln/Fell Street, and Market/Portola Street.
Public transport
32 percent of San Francisco people use public transportation to work daily, ranked 1st on the American West Coast and third all over the United States. "San Francisco icipal Railway" (that is, the San Francisco Self-controlled Railway Railway Stadium), known as Muni, is the primary public transit system of San Francisco. Muni is the second largest transit system in the United States with 210,848,310 passenger installations in 2006. The system includes both urban and subway systems, called "Muni Metro", and a big system of buses. In addition, the system operates a rudimentary subway line on Market Street from Castro to Ben Phu. It also runs the famous San Francisco cables. The cables were rated by the US government as national historical figures and were a major tourist attraction.
"Bay Area Rapid Transit" (meaning Transit Transit of the Gulf Area), an area rail system, linking the city of San Francisco to the East Bay and via Transit Tube) in the water. The pipeline runs under Market Street to Civic Center where it rotates south to the Mission Sector in the southern part of the city and crosses north of San Mateo to San Francisco International Airport, and Millbrae. Another urban rail system is "Caltrain" which runs from San Francisco along the San Francisco Peninsula to San Jose.
"Transflight Terminal" (for example, as a Gulf Transporter Station) serves as a departure point or an end for long-distance bus lines (e.g. the Greyhound bus system) and as far as the port systems for regional bus such as AC Transit (to serve Alameda & Contra Costa County), West CAT, SamTrans (for San Mateo and Golden Gate County, and Yellow, Serving Marin County and Sonoma.
Amtrak California runs a shuttle bus from San Francisco to a train station across the bay in the Emeryville City. The railroad lines from the Emeryville station are Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin, California Zephyr, and Coast Starlight. There is also a city-wide railroad crossing south of San Luis Obispo, California with a stop and go through Pacific Surfliner.
Megabus currently restores multi-city bus in California and Nevada. San Francisco passengers can pick three roads (San Francisco-San Jose-Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland-Los Angeles, & San Francisco-Sacramento-Reno). The stop in San Francisco is ahead of the Caltrain station on intersection 4 and King Street.
"San Francisco Bay Ferry" (meaning San Francisco Bay Bay Islands) operates from a ferry station and 39 Bridge to points in Oakland, Alameda, Alameda, South San Francisco Bay Island, and north to Vallejo in Solano County. "Golden Gate Ferry" is another ferry, serving between San Francisco and Marin County. "Soltrans" (that is, Solano Shifting Center) serves the extra bus between the ferry and Vallejo station.
Bicycles are a popular transportation facility in San Francisco. 75,000 people use bicycles to work every day.
The Ministry is also the main mode of transportation. In 2011, the Hanoi Walk and Walk Private Company ranked the city of San Francisco as the second highest walking city in the United States.
San Francisco is the first place to apply the lease to a short-term car, in English (Carsharing or car sharing) in the United States. The "City Carshare" disadvantage organization opened in 2001. "Zipcar" was not long before it was opened.
"Sharing bicycles" is the project that will be introduced in August 2013 for the city of San Francisco. The San Francisco Self-Service and Regional Air Quality Management Zone has plans to launch a bicycle system of 500 vehicles at the heart of San Francisco.
Airports
Although it is about 13 miles (21 km) south of San Francisco in the unincorporated zone of San Mateo District, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is under the authority of the city and the San Francisco. SFO is the transportation hub for United Airlines and Virgin America. SFO is the main international gateway to Asia and Europe with the largest international station in North America. In 2011, SFO was the eighth busy airport in the United States and 22nd worldwide, receiving over 40.9 million passengers.
Oakland International Airport is across the bay. This is a cheap, crowded airport, giving passengers a choice with San Francisco International Airport. Geographically, the Oakland International Airport is a bit similar to San Francisco City's main street, but because its position is across the San Francisco Bay, the distance from San Francisco.
Seaport seaport
The San Francisco Port used to be the largest and busiest port on the U.S. Coast. It consists of many of the bridges that lie right at the edge of the bay. The port accept goods and come from interland Pacific and Atlantic. This port is the central west coast of the wood trade. The West Coast strike with the opening of the attack was a general strike in San Francisco in 1934, a major recession in American trade union history that made the majority of U.S. Coast Guard ports paralyzed. The use of large containers for freight in has left the seaports on the use of the bridges obsolete. As a result, most of the ports and harbors for commercial cargo ships were transported to Oakland and Richmond Harbor.
Many bridges remain abandoned for years until the Embarcadero High Highway is leveled to re-open the bay shore and allow for redevelopment. The spot on the port is the San Francisco ferry Building. While serving passengers who travel by ferry, the building has been redecorated and redeveloped into a shopping mall and services. Other port activities focus on the development of property on the Gulf Coast in support of the tourism and entertainment industry.
The port now uses Bridge 35 to receive from 60-80 port of the tourist ship and 200,000 passengers visiting San Francisco. Journeys from San Francisco normally include train trips and travel back to Alaska and Mexico. The new James R. Herman Travel Railway Station project at 2014 is planned to open in 2014 to replace the 35 Shipyard. The current railway station at Bridge 35 is unable to receive large and medium sized tourist vessels and has brought many customers. It is also unable to fully supply the necessary facilities as an international tourist station.
On March 16, 2013, the Grand Princess tour of Princess Cruises Tour became the first tourism ship to use San Francisco as a home port around the year. This ship takes tourists to Alaska, the coast of California, Hawaii and Mexico. The Grand Princess will be in San Francisco until April 2014.
