but the u2 concerts is on a wednesday evening with fans making their way here at the same time as the afternoon commute. just like any other event, santa clara police will have extra traffic patrol officers. but the pressure will be on public transit. vta light rail system and cal train are expected to carry 5 to 6,000 concert goers or 50% of the event. >> we are asking personnel to work more hours but we were don't usually have 5,000 people wait fogger our service at 10:00 in the evening. >> reporter: previous u2 concerts in oakland in 2011 and 2015 created traffic jams and caused some fans to arrive late or miss the show entirely. v tshlgs a and cal train will add trains to make sure fans get home after the concert although that wasn't the original plan according to santa clara county member theresa o'neal. >> at that time of night there's only like one train an hour and there's one car. so, it's not like a weekend concert or for 49er game where

vta is able to schedule -- have many trains waiting. >> reporter: vta does plan to add eight trains with staff and security, the estimated cost about $65,000. it will seek reimbursement. cal train is adding one train to make sure no one is left stranded at a cost of 5,000, an expense they will absorb. you can see from sky 7 that the stage and equipment are being set up for the sellout show. one variable remains. what time will u2 show be over? santa clara has a 10:00 curfew, however, the council has been told to expect the concert to run over, which some residents may not like. in santa clara, david louie, abc7 news. >> all right. well, taking on the white house. ads it is far past time that a special prosecutor be appointed to oversee the fbi's investigation into russia. >> and it isn't just the democrats calling for action today. >> hello, i'm mike shumann live

arena. san antonio kawhi leonard suffered after a controversial ankle injury, the expectation is the warriors have way too much fire power for san antonio if they don't have leonard. san antonio still very dangerous. abc7's mike shumann joins us court side. shu? >> the further you get in the playoff, the more anticipation. one team without their superstar, spurs will not have kawhi leonard. now, the warriors hoping to get off to a better start here. today after falling behind after 25 in the first half of game one. however, that was coming off an extended break after sweeping the utah jazz in round 2. they got their punch in the mouth in the first half, dubs did much better with kawhi off the floor. tonight golden state doesn't feel it is be like that. >> a much different team. take the mvp off the team, that sucks.

but, you know one thing about this club they're going to come out, they're going to play hard. no one is going to get outside of what they do, they're going to use each other. so, i think manu said it makes them less predictable. obviously when kawhi is on the floor, even though everything is going to run through him, i don't think it can be stopped, but you know it's going to run through him. it makes it a lot less predictable, but i think we come out on the edge from the jump playing our game, we'll be just fine. >> all right. san antonio played very well without kawhi leonard in game six of the last round. i look for them to do the same thing tonight knowing they don't have him on the floor. so, they're not going to lay down just because he's not here. should be an interesting match up. reporting live at oracle, i'm mike shumann, abc7 news. >> all right, thank you, shu. certainly expect the warriors got the wake up call after the first half in game one. thank you, shu. >> and dub nation, you go for it
