Does the trolley go to Fishermans Wharf?

The F Line streetcar is part of San Francisco's public transit system (known locally as Muni). The F Line runs from the Castro along Market Street to the Embarcadero, passing through Civic Center and the Financial District, before turning north and following the waterfront to Fisherman's Wharf.
