San Francisco is one of the most car-light major US cities for visiting with a pet: BART regional rail and Muni Metro/Bus/cable car all accept small pets in fully enclosed carriers free of charge, the Golden Gate Ferry to Sausalito accepts leashed dogs on the outer deck, and Uber Pet / Lyft Pet cover the entire Bay Area for a $3-5 surcharge. SFO airport has indoor pet relief areas across all four terminals, and American, Delta and United accept small pets in cabin for $95-150 per segment. The Bay Bridge to Oakland and the Golden Gate Bridge are dog-friendly drives; only the Golden Gate Bridge sidewalk is pedestrian-and-leashed-dog accessible (east side only, daylight hours).
