The San Francisco Giants' parade will take place Wednesday in celebration of the team's World Series win, and it's expected to be quite an event.

Enough people are expected, in fact, that Mayor Gavin Newsom has urged everyone to take public transportation. The city has ramped up their public transportation system to accommodate the crowd.

The parade will start at 11 a.m. PT Wednesday at Montgomery and Washington streets and go southbound on Montgomery to Market Street before continuing west on Market Street to Civic Center Plaza. The parade will replicate the route taken by the team when they came to San Francisco from New York in 1958.

Newsom will present the team with the key to the city on the steps of City Hall.

Nearly 300 fans met the Giants at AT&T Park at 4:09 a.m. Tuesday when the team returned from Texas, championship trophy in tow.
