after 30 hours of negotiations. the union members were open board with wages and pensions but not agree to the work rules. there is only one way to get them back on the job. >> if they immediately enter or agree to enter into arbitration on the remaining language issues we broke off at the end, we would be willing to take that package back to a vote to our membership, stop the strike, and go back to work. >> these are work rules essential to maintaining the future efficiency and effectiveness of the agency. the unions decided they wanted to take the money on the table but not the work rules. >> bart management says the rules would give then the right to make decisions staffing overtime and work assignment. it could lead to unreasonable working conditions and assignments. no new negotiations are scheduled between bart management and the unions. they are expected to be here all

day today and other bart stations across the bay area. >> the bart strike means more cars on the road. we will check with leyla gulen. >> that is absolutely right. i want to let you know that the bay ferry and san francisco shuttle at sfo, all have extra service for you, so i suggest that if you do rely on bart, those particular agencies are going to be offering some center service today and through the weekend and as long as there is a bart strike. we are noticing there is a bit more traffic on the roads and we have construction still lingering. northbound and southbound 880 in san jose from forest avenue to 280 will find some lanes blocked off and cones are picked up as we speak. at the altamont pass, this is where we are seeing the most traffic but you are at 54 miles

per hour continuing up to vasco road you are in the 50's and not so bad as it could be. the san mateo bridge has fairly clear conditions and more cars are making it toward foster city. mike? >> good morning. live doppler 7 hd shows clouds sneaking in. the visibility is five miles per hour at half moon bay. watch out for the varying visibility along the coast and into san francisco especially the lower land around the bay shore and the coast the same air that sees the fog in the summertime of pattern which we have right now which is localized along the coast in san francisco. it does break up but the effect is mid-to-upper 60's and low 70's in san francisco and the rest of us in the upper 70's to low 80's and temperatures above average. katie? >> we continue our coverage of the bart strike with abc7 news

buses to get to san francisco to work. i'm concerned about this afternoon, it will be a lot of traffic but helpfully i can get on the bus to come home. >> here are the stations to catch buses: el cerrito, dublin/pleasanton, san lenadro, hayward and fremont. they expect to shuttle 6,000 people with the buses. it will not make a huge difference considering that the trains handle 400,000 people a day. they will only go from the east bay to san francisco. if you have to commute in the east bay, this will not be buses for you. bart admits they cannot accommodate everyone but they say that in is the best it can do and hopes it will help in some way. >> the bart strike continues and the west grand avenue approach to the bay bridge in oakland will be converted to an h.o.v.

section coming up to the new tower and you have a short backup starting at the toll plaza particularly if you are a cash-paying customer, probably 15 or 20 car backup in the cash lane and the fast track lane is moving well. when you are on the bridge there was a bunch up on the causeway earlier but that is thinned out now and traffic continues to move at the speed limit. as you can see i am just now coming up to the tower on the new oakland spokesman so everything on the bridge so far is good. katie andkatie and eric? >> we are following the latest developments on the commute without bart throughout the news. keep ituned here and you can download the free app and allow push alerts to get the latest information. we have assembled a range of resources at abc7news.com to help you land your commute including alternate transit options and real time traffic maps and you can download the
