On 28-December-1912, the A Geary Street line of the San Francisco Municipal Railway began service. Mayor Sunny Jim Rolph operated the first car from Geary and Kearny.
The San Francisco Municipal Railway was the first significant
muncipal transit company in the United States, opening its first
electric streetcar line, the A Geary, on 28-December-1912. Muni had been
preceeded by the West Seattle Municipal Railway (1900-????) and the
Monroe, Louisiana, Municipal Street Railway (1906-present), which is
still operating as the Monroe Transit
System.
Today, in honor of the 100th birthday, Muni is offering free rides to all.
