Getting around San Francisco with a group
- SFMTA notes that certain San Francisco streets have restricted access for commercial vehicles and publishes a map, so coach and large-vehicle routes should be checked before dispatch.[1]
- Alcatraz can be reached only by ferry from Pier 33 on The Embarcadero, so itineraries that include it need a waterfront drop-off plan; the Park Service lists a drop-off zone for visitors with special needs.[2]
Check an operator before you pay a deposit
The California Public Utilities Commission issues the certificates and permits that charter-party passenger carriers need before providing service, so a limo or charter bus company operating in California should hold CPUC authority (shown as a TCP number).[3]
Carriers that cross state lines need USDOT/FMCSA operating authority, which can be checked on FMCSA's company snapshot (SAFER).[4]
