BART has provided the following Giants parade day tips:

• Load your Clipper card with extra value or, if buying a BART ticket, purchase a round trip ticket before parade day.
• Avoid peak commute hours (6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.).
• Don¹t bring your bike on board trains or inside stations as they will be very crowded.
• Allow extra time to get to San Francisco before the parade begins at 12 Noon.
• Parking rules and restrictions will be enforced. Consider getting to the station by alternative means such as carpooling, walking, biking and parking your bike at the station) or taking a bus, as parking lots will fill up very early. Do not park in permit spaces if you don¹t have a permit. (Even if you have a reserved space, we cannot guarantee eager fans won¹t park there'we will be ticketing).
• Plan your trip using the BART QuickPlanner.
