San Francisco is a functioning city and weather, traffic and events may occasionally cause disruption.
Wheelchairs can be collapsed down and stored on the bus but the buses are not equipped with ramps and therefore passengers would need to walk up 2 steps.
Would have liked more opportunities though was only able to a cess the bus for one day not two
Great way to see the city.
