we didn't get a chance to ride one of the trolleys like we wanted because it was a 2 hour wait. But we just felt like there was so much more to do!

Sorry, you would have had to wait for two hours to ride a trolley? Why? They are scheduled way closer together than that.

There was a very large line waiting to take them everywhere. There were only two trolley cars for each route, and each trolley could hold about 50 people, but the line of people at each "station" to get on them had hundreds of people at them. We wanted to take one from Fisherman's Wharf in to Chinatown, and at that one, the ticket booth said it was about a 2 hour wait because they had about five full runs of tickets solid that were waiting to board still.

You thinking of trolleys or cable cars?

They're the same thing, no?

We were trying to take one of the routes here: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/muni/cable-cars

So I guess cable cars? If you google San Francisco trolley instead, it brings up the same results, so I'm not sure what the difference is I guess

Nope. They are two different things.
