The Covid pandemic turned San Francisco's transit world upside down, shutting down the vintage steetcars and cable cars for more than a year. Muni staff would take some of the steetcars out without passengers on occasion to keep them in operating shape. The pandemic also saw proliferration of "parklets" outdoor dining areas, some of them imaginative, like this one meant to resemble a Lisbon tram outside a Portuguese restaurant.
The first Trolley Festival 40 years ago featured two streetcars from Portugal, but from Porto rather than Lisbon. Here, Car 122 leaves the Mint storage yard. This car now runs on Dalles' McKInney Avenue line; Car 189 awaits restoration at Muni.
