Car Fleet
Muni owns a large selection of equipment for use on the F line, although not all of it will be in service at any given time. The car fleet can be broken down into four distinct sub-fleets consisting of PCC streetcars, Peter Witt streetcars, pre-PCC veteran streetcars from San Francisco, and a diverse collection of 10 streetcars and trams from various overseas operators.
The line is principally operated by a mixture of the PCC and Peter Witt cars, although other more unusual or historic cars can often be seen in service (such as the 913 and 952, two of the iconic Streetcars Named Desire). Although Muni LRVs are not compatible with F-line service, Boeing LRVs have operated down parts of Market Street one or more times.
