This is audio of just about the entire ride of the Powell-Hyde cable car line in San Francisco, recorded on 08/26/2015. Late evening trip through the city. I recorded this while I was on the steps on the right side of the car, holding the recorder in one hand and my life in the other! Tourists talking, the operator ringing the bells and using the brake levers, etc.
Recorded with a Tascam DR-70D, built in mics.
Free to use, but let me know where it ends up!

Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort. I specially found the description of the recording interesting. Once I put a Sony IC recorder in my backpack pocket and just walked around in a crowded mall a day before the new year in Tehran, Iran.The result was a track very similar to this one. Do you happen to have any other recording of this type in other interesting places?

I haven't been on a cable car since the 60's when I was a kid going fishing on Muni Pier and coming back home. Now on the east coast, it's good to hear some sounds of my home town. Thanks
