Are there restrictions for motorcoaches? Where can coaches park at night?
Some streets in San Francisco are off-limits to tour buses, either due to legal restrictions or because the hills are too steep. Your local tour guide will design a route for your city tour on allowed streets, but if you are bringing your own bus and your driver is less familiar with the city, you might want to follow this link to a website by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) called ‘Tour Bus Information’. It also talks about places where tour buses can be parked at night.
