Plan On Going to the Giants Parade? Plan on Public Transit

Between the commute, Halloween and the Giants ticker tape parade, driving to San Francisco on Wednesday could prove harmful to your personal sanity.

Wednesday morning is going to be a great day for the Bay Area--unless you plan on taking a car to San Francisco. Then it could turn into a real nightmare, because in addition to the normal crazy commute and the fact that it's Halloween, the ticker tape parade to celebrate the Giants 2012 World Series win will be taking place that morning.

Instead, East Bay revelers should consider taking BART, which is running its rush hour schedule all day long.

San Francisco will hold a ticker tape parade and civic celebration in honor of the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
