7. TAXIS
Due to a very tight licensing system, San Francisco does not have enough taxis, des-
pite the poor car-to-parking-spot ratio. You can usually snag one by lining up at a
major hotel.
8. CAR
Rent a car only if you want to head outside the city. Driving here can be challenging
to the uninitiated, and it isn't necessary for getting around, given the decent public
transportation. Parking is also difficult.

9. MOTORBIKE
Motorcycling is a fast, efficient way to get around town. The same driving and park-
ing rules apply to motorbikes as to cars.
