There is a site that has a real time map of a part of the Muni street
car system and the 22 Filmore bus line. Eventually its supposed to cover
all of Muni. 

I'm pretty sure they have a wireless version. I know they have a
(woefully inadequate) cell phone/messaging system for this. Yo dial a
prearranged number for a particular stop into your cell phone, hang up
after it rings, then wait for a text message telling you when the next
bus will come. The message usually comes in less than a minute but I've
had a delay of 12 hours before. :/

You can find them at http://www.nextbus.com .
