After a six-month shutdown due to repairs, the California cable car line will return today to its former glory. According to BCN (via KTVU), "The project replaced electrical and mechanical components that support the cable car system, reconstructed streets, installed curb ramps, repaired sidewalk curbs and replaced sewers."

Furthermore, today marks the return of the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde cable car lines, which saw a five-day closure to minor repairs. So, go crazy with up and down the cable cars, tourists and the few locals who still use them as a competent means of public transportation!

The ribbon-cutting, featuring Mayor Ed Lee, will happen at the end of the California line at California and Drumm streets at 10 am.
