Can you just hop on the cable cars anywhere along its route, or can you only get on at specific areas? And also, does the conductor actually check everyone who boards to make sure they pay or can someone hop on and not have to pay? How does that all work? Any details that you can give would be appreciated. Thank you!

The cable cars stop at all intersections and you can get on when they are stopped. Don't try to jump on a moving car, they don't like that! Stops along the route are designated by brown signs with white cable cars on the curb.
Fare is $5 one way or $11 for a day pass that can also be used on the trollys, busses and light rail. Conductors do check fares, you can ride for a block or two free but as previously mentioned the cars are small so you will be noticed if you ride from one end of the line to the other. If you jump on at toward the end of the line you can ride free the last few blocks.

There are certain stops where you can get on... you'll see where the stops are by looking for cable car signs on the sidewalks. You do actually have to five bucks for the ride. The conductor will check to see if you have a fare.

There are specific stops and you have to pay your fair share. The cable car operator will know if you didn't pay.
