==Route description== From the outbound terminal at Presidio Avenue and California Street, buses loop around the block via Walnut and Sacramento back to Presidio and run north to Jackson Street. The line turns on Jackson to Fillmore Street and runs south to Sutter Street. Outbound buses operate on Sutter from the inbound terminal at Sansome Street. Inbound buses turn off Sutter at Laguna then eastward on Post until Kearny and turning back via Bush and Sansome.
==History== The Sutter Street Railway was originally a horsecar line, opened in 1866, which was converted to cable car operation in 1877.<ref>{{harvnb|Trimble|2004|p=16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Sutter Street Railroad |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95858859/ |access-date=21 February 2022 |newspaper=San Francisco Examiner |via=Newspapers.com |date=January 5, 1877 |page=3}} {{free access}}</ref>
