Now caltran absolutely released numbers with 30 increase in traffic and 50 jump along the east shore freeways. Eastbound 80 of the hoffmann split and getting on the highway for is not too bad. Traffic starting to fill up as to approach the bay bridge toll plaza. It looks like things are starting to back up now as well.

Reporter i really have collected cellule i have some good news report in the last 20 minutes began look out at the distance and you do see a small lie in the distance. But you do not see much of the line. Its going to down town oakland specifically. Instead, they are waiting on buses i want to pan all the way to the right and go off to the distance across the street you to see some of the charter buses still dealing with lines. Not the long lines that we saw earlier this afternoon. A lot of people started leaving work much much earlier than normal. I take bart. But there are greedy they need to be fired people need to be thankful right now we are living in hard times. They need to be careful really careful. They are blessed in do not even know that they are blessed. I do not make 60 the 80,000 a year i do not make that kind of money. I do not know by which whoever it is would work it out and get it down. I am kind of what management on this i think the workers are being greedy reporter if this see those people getting on both charter buses spirit reporter the line to get to downtown oakland has cleared for the meantime. This is the best news that we have seen all afternoon. The buses are in here and they are getting out of here rather quickly. Catherine now back to you in the studio catherine another option today is taking the ferry. Lot of people are choosing that option and Charles Clifford is accurate reporter folks getting on the ferries there have been long lines. During the morning commit to 7150 people world the spirit across the San Francisco bay. Very busy out there video from a while ago with people waiting to get on the theory the services added they have 12 votes working which they borrow to not having eight. Most of the folks riding or everett and bart are not upset when gemini did state that he was ok. I understand it that the working conditions and the safety conditions. The bottom line is money in money talks. And money talks. Catherine trawls is able to say is because we are hearing that there could be an announcement any time regarding the end of the strike. You are looking at some of the Union Members tracking in protest say. The press release given us says is regards the possibly to the end of the strike. We will find out exactly what this means. Grant . Reporter yes catherine, we can cross our fingers. We will not hold our breath.

Get uverse tv for 19 a month for 2 years with qualifying bundles. Rethink possible. I am not very happy with them need to get their act together this is very frustrating it is what areas, do not care any more i am so tired of this sick and tired reporter sharing that sentiment most people on our facebook fan change facebook fan page. Why should everyone else suffer because bart workers do not get their way. I support the strike and will gladly get stuck in traffic for these bart workers and anyone not understand this . Give it a rest if you want to get paid well and have the benefit stop selling for less and blimey those who bowls who do not. Reporter rebecca are rebecca is for the unions and a lot of people are not. Reporter lot of people are really taking sides on this one. There are a lot of people and lots of extra people on the rope tonight. Road reporter you will see where completely jammed up with a squeaking by without any major accidents but because we have so many more people on the road expect a slow go ride. Thats right beginning at highway 13. I do not know why it is so bad and the west cant west area but do not even think about adding to the walnut creek traffic. We do have some very slow ride in and around the bay area. Still jammed up but fasttrack lanes are flowing freely. Catherine thank you, erica. Catherine as soon as we hear we will pass that information on we did hear that there should be an announcement soon in regards to ending the bart strike. Reporter the bart station all but reporter while they lasted about 5 00 a. M. Slot 6 more buses will be leaving about 8 00 with roughly 352 people catching arad the San Francisco and their patients are already wearing a tan. Andwearing thin i do not drive at all and i work in oakland. Reporter lobbying writers and passerbys by support occurred pretty much the same story on the return trip back here to fremont this afternoon. More of the sign, day in fremont rob fladeboe kron 4 news. Catherine a empty bart parking lot basically no one is there. And let the people did you sperrys today with extra ferries and running every 45 minutes. Catherine people were glad to have that option but there were very upset about todays strike. Reporter cacique all of these people lined up to get tickets and then after they went through that line they had to go through another line. So that they could catch their east taking off. Barrys ferries taking off reporter it is frustrating. But, it is what it is pur. I got up early and i am going in late. It just throws your schedule off. It creates other different types of partnerships. Hardships catherine some people stated that when they took the ferry as they like it and will stick with it. Reporter bart had hired a charter buses to take and banners from these nine stations to San Francisco. If you stayed home friday but the strike is still went on monday when you go back to work this could be a very helpful tool. You see all the stations, nine of them in the east today. The parking is free and bus ride is free. You have to keep the ticket in order to get on the bus to San Francisco to return to the east bay in the afternoon. There is a special bart spent section with the mobile app for push alerts that will tell you everything you need to go and how to navigate all around the bay area when the bart trains are not rolling. Catherine possibility of ending the strike so back to be a big if. We do not know exactly what they are asking for or what they will say. Our political analyst michael yucky says this could also be some type of p r mold. Move there will be some conditions that have to be met and with the conditions our guest will have to learn a little later. For the to carry minimum the union has suffered extremely bad pr on this thing. Whether you believe there should be in paris and to this or not correct catherine we hear a lot of people saying that the public sympathy is very limited. That they should be fired wages have been stagnant and the economy has been pretty fragile and people are upset about that and i believe that do we want to engage we do not want someone to be better than we are, is that the type of place you want to be in . Quite frankly i counsel from my friends in labor battles talking up over the weeks i hope that they did not call on strike. The tough and talk tough the at the bargaining table but a strike especially after the shutdown is the optics or that will not be good. You see the reaction from people out on the street. Catherine it sounds like is we early to jump up and down and celebrate because you do not know what that announcement will entail or what the conditions are. The best that people could do any is applied pressure to the state legislatures and bart board and make their voices known that this is unacceptable. And that it will not happen again. Catherine bottom line do they Pay Attention to the public anger . Any politician will be a fool to ignore the public outrage that is going on right now. Catherine people are being as loud and clear as they could really be at this point. Stay with look at them with that uverse wireless receiver.

Reporter basically with it are talking about is that there unresolved issues supplement issues workplace and safety that type of thing but lets put that all on the arbitrator and let them decide. Barr says no to that. Now reporter with it are saying is that we are not going backwards on the issues. We accept the Economic Issues and we are to is within the supplement to an arbitrator. This is on to be dead and a strike and its tracks. But bart management has made it clear that pieces of the contract over to an independent arbitrator the want the whole thing or nothing. They will take the unions package first proposal and managements proposal and give that to an arbitrator would not piecemeal it out. Secundus sets that aside so that it would not have to report and those issues but it will propose supplement issues that they cannot agree on it over to an arbitrator. After one day of no trains running that all changed, of course they might agree to this to get back at the bargaining table. They will not piecemeal proposal to an arbitrator. Catherine bart wall respond will respond every time managements offering an olive branch and every time the union is offering an olive Branch Offices look there tried to get the trains of running again. But how committed are they to these proposals . Catherine some of this is kind of pr is what michael yucky was saying. Pacino the other side cannot accept this and it will not get you anywhere. Catherine thank you dan. Catherine us talk with jeff bush he is in San Francisco is the intersection getting any better, jeff . Reporter what is happening is that people are lining up to get home here on the bay bridge.

I lived a block away from here sell there is nothing new major weekends remember that soccer that i like the time to sit and think about my family and all the people i love peck at home. I love you mom. 0 back to work police this is horrible reporter to see the guys to see their eyes and that i picked this is definitely a slow friday coming here in santa francisco. Catherine i liked the guy who was meditating on his love once jeff. But i do not think there are a lot of people meditating right now. Catherine less checking with j. R. Right now. J. R. . Reporter it is interesting to know that i talked with a woman we off at the distance with the loss with the bart charter buses. Reporter earlier in the daytime these last incredibly want. Brad it all round the block and this season of the long lines. What woman would not write the charter buses because she was supportive of the Union Members. I can tell you the anchor while there were certainly there what i talked to people in the last couple of hours. If it was up to me i was fire all of them. That is exactly what i would do. This is not something that we should have to go through. They make enough money. All of there are doing is take is pushing a button. They are just greedy. When they come that i would have pink slips for all of them. hopefully i would be home by midnight. Horrible this morning i was 45 minutes late this is ridiculous, ridiculous reporter outstare life you are looking at the ac transit lines and yes it is there to get to the east. Reporting live in separate cisco j. R. Stone kron 4 news. Catherine Charles Clifford has been at the embarcadero transit. Reporter is seen to start a little bit earlier and things would not get busy to about 546 at the during the first strike. But today its been about 2 00 in reporter on friday morning 7150 people broke the theories which is twice the average rider shipped. 7150 people rode the ferries.

Pawns stuck in the middle catherine thank you charles. Era, have a look at traffic. Reporter we havent seen any improvement any improvement in the last hour. You are still stuck in traffic along with interstate 80 lee me up to highway 4. Southbound 880 to the Airport Drive is just a couple of minutes delay there. As we take a live look up side the approach to the bay bridge is starting to loosen up not too bad but it looks like traffic is if you are a fasttrack user today. Catherine you are looking embarked workers earlier today protesting tried to end this strike at 10 00 tonight but there is some question to strings attached. Political analyst michael yucky will be back on his take. People reporter are sharing their images with how they are getting all around with out bart. Reporter rolling up the peninsula with caltran thank goodness for options. People reporter are getting all around a lot of ways but obviously not with the bart. This is ridiculous but grant and bear it grin we havent gotten a raise in three years and i cant strike. Im really tired of this. They should not punish us.

I have been a School Statement to channel four. We do not want the strike we are putting forth the compromise to get our passengers back on the train. Catherine but that has been their span all along. It is not our fault. Is also one other canned the two parties decide to stop talking past each other and at the impact on the bay area today. Friday some people took a long weekend. But what about monday, tuesday and wednesday . To get talking past each other and unilaterally, and together on this one. It could be p r. The other way we are offering to lay down our arms if we could go back to talk. The question and answer will bart take a that opening and censure which the top. Indolence the statement may not be condition is that they have to it could be a way to get back at the table. In a bar where to send we would like to listen to this and talk more this thing could be over occurred it takes courage on both sides and calculations on both sides. And i shall the statement from the leaders are basically saying the thing that we agree on or binding arbitration are just pieces of occurred catherine it has already been made very clearly by bart management that they do not want to look at pieces of dough proposal. Its all or nothing. Jacqueline wii so fog at the coast line which cool things off at the coast. In the 70s and 80s and report else.
