Yes, with all the usual suspects, except for some reason calling it "San Fran" annoys the locals. They prefer "Frisco."

^I hope that is a joke. "Frisco" sounds like some type of funky cocktail one would order in a Castro bar (Assuming here, generally steer clear of that area). "San Fran" or simply "SF" please. You'll get weird looks saying "Frisco".

Actually, "Frisco" is what it is commonly called. "SF," yeah, but "San Fran?" Get outta here.

Funny SF story: first time I ever went there I was taking the BART from downtown to the mission and asked like 5 people which direction to get on. Literally nobody knew because nobody was from there. I saw a dude dressed as a clown and asked him. Sure enough, he was a "Frisco"/"San Fran"/"SF"/"whatever" local and directed me down the correct route.

Did you also ask the F-Line trolley driver if he was going to Fisherman's Wharf?
