The San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) begins limited operation of the their new light rail line (trolley) on Saturday, January 13th. The new line will be known as the T-Third will run starting at the Castro Station, down the Market Street Metro subway, around The Embarcadero and down Third Street to Sunnydale Avenue bringing sleek, modern light-rail service to some of San Francisco's most isolated, neglected and impoverished neighborhoods. ( unlike another city we can think of that decided residents would be happy with a bus).
When the line begins full operation in April it will mean some changes on other MUNI trolley lines. N-JUDAH: The N line will now terminate at the Embarcadero Station (not 4th & King) J-CHURCH: During peak hours only, the J line terminates at 4th & King. During regular hours it continues to terminate at The Embarcadero station.
For more information you can check out coverage from the MUNI website, The San Francisco Chronicle and the Examiner.

A review of the first day of the lines operation from the SF Chronicle
Muni's new T-Third line gives views of SF that many folks won't recognize.
