Save gas with a pass from Hyatt San Francisco Hotels (Photos)

Hop a little cable car....

Feeling the pinch at the pump? Who isnt? Still, you want to get out of town and have fun. "The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Planning and consuming our travel budget properly is a main concern for most families. Lowering consuming and costs, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". Well look no farther that San Francisco. Its an easy hop on Virgin America or Southwest from LAX or Bob Hope Burbank airports and you can get around the city cheap and easy with a special passport to transportation deal from Hyatt Hotels.

Hyatt Hotels of San Francisco have teamed up with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to offer visitors the citys only Explore San Francisco package that features accommodations at any one of Hyatts four San Francisco hotels along with two SFMTA passports. The passports give you unlimited daily use on any one or all of the citys public transportation vehicles, including the iconic cable cars, historic streetcars, busses and trolleys. (Note: not only is this the best way to get around San Francisco, but by avoiding the use of a car, visitors will also depreciate their carbon footprint on the city, making this a greener alternative).

Also included in the deal is an exclusive Hyatt Passport, which is a unique keepsake that chronicles the your journey through the city and provides 15% discounts on food and beverage purchases at any one of the hotels restaurant (excluding alcohol) as well as $5.00 discounts from some of the citys most popular attractions.

The Hyatt Passport also features a comprehensive list of some of the Hyatt Concierge Teams best suggestions for family friendly activities and attractions along with a sheet of fun stickers for passport holders to stamp inside the VISA pages once they have visited featured sites.
