San Francisco Municipal Railway fleet

With five different modes of transport from many different vendors, the San Francisco Municipal Railway or Muni as it is commonly known, runs one of the most diverse fleets of vehicles in the United States. Roughly 800 buses (500 diesel buses and 300 trolleybuses), 200 streetcars and 40 cable cars see active duty. Muni's cable cars constitute the oldest and largest such system remaining in service in the world and is the only one still running with manually operated cars in street traffic. Its fleet of electric trolleybuses is the largest in the United States. The 30- and 40-ft diesel/hybrid buses are numbered in the 8000 series, the 60-ft articulated diesel/hybrid buses in the 6000 series, the 40-ft trolleybuses in the 5000 series, the 60-ft articulated trolleybuses in the 7000 series, and the streetcars in the 1000 series. Muni is in the process of replacing its motor coach fleet - the first of which was procured in 1915 - with diesel-electric hybrid buses. A summary of the current and historic vehicles follows.

§5454, 6238, 6244, 6259, 6291, 8173, and 8319 retired. 6238, 6244, 6291, and 8173 written off due to a fire, and 5454, 6259, and 8319 written off due to an accident. ^8448 Wi-Fi equipped from 2008 to 2009, the "Connected" bus. ♦8101-8235 and 8301-71's turn signal is different when rehabilitated in 2013.

Muni also tested a 40-foot double-decker bus from Alexander Dennis Limited but the demo bus is now retired and sold by Las Vegas' Deuce route.

As the Neoplan buses are currently assigned to the reserve fleet. Reserve fleet buses are only in service as needed.

The following are a list of buses that are currently assigned to the training fleet. These buses are sometimes revenue service as reserve fleet, and are used to train prospective operators.

The following shows the buses previously operated by the SFMTA. Some of these coaches have been preserved in the historic fleet, donated to trolley museums, or auctioned.

There are 11 divisions for the Muni buses. ETI 14TrSF Skodas #5401-5489 and NFI XT60 Vossloh Kiepe #7201-7260 are from the Potrero Division, while #5490-5640 are from the Presidio Division; the latter holds only 40-ft ETI Skoda trolleybuses. The Kirkland Division uses only Neoplan AN440 diesel buses. The 30 and 40-ft Orion VII diesel-electric hybrid buses, and New Flyer XDE40s all rest in the Woods Division. Some Neoplan AN440s also lie in the Woods division as the reserve fleet and are used only as needed. The division where the Neoplan AN440s that are rehabbed in 2013 lies in are the Kirkland Division.
