The Honda Unit, even though they might not be on actual Hondas, they are referred to by just about everybody as the Hondas. They're great for crowd control, patrolling GG Park, going down alleys, lurking in the projects. They used to be based at the same building as TAC and EOD. They can get in and out of places that other units can't.
If the 49ers win, the parade will be a disaster. Getting EMS services to 1 million plus people in the Market Street corridor will be a nightmare.
