Fast cross town transport that will get you to GG Park in 15 minutes?
Ha!

You could take the N Line on MUNI (ride up 10 minutes to Market St,
ride 20 minutes on N Line, ride 5 minutes into park).

Or if you really want to get there fast you could share a cab.
Usually there's cabs waiting at Caltrain at 4th & King during the week
but I'm not sure about weekdays and I don't know how much it is as I
always ride my bike - $15??

The schedule I received for the parade says it will start between
9:30-10 AM. The registration for the parade begins at 9 AM but that's
only really signing waivers (quick) and getting wristbands for beer
(optional).

I think if you get there by 9:30ish you'll be alright. I don't really
expect the parade to start very promptly.

Expected parade return time is 11:30ish.
