throughout the seven days. it's easier to follow. it's simpler. we're going to have shorter trains, but the wait for 30 minutes is over. no more 30 minute waits. you'll never have to wait more than 20 minutes no matter what day it is. >> bart says the new schedule should also appeal to those post-pandemic style of riders and maybe get more people riding bart. also, the goal is to save money with this. end denver by running these new trains. they say they're more energy efficient and also by running them at this new style. they estimate they're going to be saving about 12 million a year with this new schedule change. we're live in walnut creek. ryan curry, abc seven news. thank you, ryan. >> a woman accused of illegally smuggling a tropical fruit from vietnam into santa clara county is due to be in court today. 36 year old tan juan and another woman are charged with conspiracy to import and sell fruit in violation of federal and state agricultural laws. now some of this fruit was infested

after about 4 or 5:00. so it will be patchy as well that marine layer compressed and that's going to aid in our quick warm up jobina. >> thank you, lisa. good morning, everybody. we are going back to oakland because we are still following a pretty significant backup. now this is on westbound 24 past northbound 13 on your speeds down to 22mph. and you can see if you were with us about 20 minutes ago or so that the backup has extended there at the bay bridge toll plaza. surprisingly metering lights are on the chp just updated the log and says that they flipped them on around 549. but there is no backup there at all. it's a little busier in walnut creek as we show you 680. those tail lights are traveling in the southbound direction. reggie, thanks, jobina. >> a crash between a san francisco police vehicle and another car closed off 18th street near guerrero overnight. you can see both cars, front bumpers got most of the damage. we're told this crash happened around 1130 and we don't think anyone was hurt here. >> psychedelics like magic

mushrooms are one signature away from decriminalized here in california. yesterday a final senate vote sent that bill to the governor's desk. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez joining us live in the newsroom with this story. hi, gloria. >> good morning, carmassi. the measure would allow people 21 and older to possess and use small amounts of psychedelics. this is not the only bill moving through the state legislature that would ease drug laws here in california. the state assembly and senate voted to decriminalize some psychedelics like magic mushrooms. state senator scott wiener has been championing the bill for several years. opponents say that hallucinogens can cause paranoia and psychological trauma, but senator wiener believes that everyone from combat veterans with ptsd to those who suffer from disorders like anxiety and depression could benefit. >> they're not a panacea. this is not a silver bullet. but there are plenty of people who have literally been able to turn

their lives around because of psychedelics. >> california should be a destination for cannabis just like it is for wine. and one of the things that is holding us back from that right now is we can't really offer a cannabis experience that is legal, that is safe, that is regulated. >> state assembly member matt haney supported senator wiener's legislation and is also advocating for his own with the state senate passed yesterday, it would allow certain cannabis retailers to sell food and beverages, creating cannabis cafes like those in amsterdam and needs one more vote before heading to the governor. the psychedelic legislation will not become law until governor newsom signs the legislation. some of the public still have concerns about this, but senator wiener believes that they can work together to find solutions that work for everyone. live in the newsroom, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. thanks, gloria. >> if you ride bar, you're going to notice some changes starting on monday. the agency is planning to run more trains. it

should mean your commute will be smoother and shorter. abc seven news reporter ryan curry is live in walnut creek with the details of the service changes. ryan >> yeah. reggie the longest wait time will be 20 minutes for riders taking part throughout system wide. the goal right here is to make it more efficient for anybody riding bart now and also accommodate the new style of riders. there's a lot less. people are now taking bart's and also their hope is to make it easier for anybody who is taking bart. there will be a 20 minute maximum wait for trains now. no more. will you see those half hour wait times. more trains will be running at night as well. trains on the yellow line will be running every 10 to 15 minutes on weekdays. on weekends , trains on the richmond line will run every ten minutes. bart ridership has been dramatically lower compared to pre pre pre-pandemic levels excuse me. more people are returning to bart, but lately on weekdays they're still at about 40% of what it was before covid. it is

not just the schedule also being changed. bart is reducing the size of its trains to make it easier for police to patrol them while also allowing trains to run more frequently. moments ago, we spoke with the bart spokesperson about these changes. so what we did in terms of matching the schedule to the lines is we examined the commute patterns. >> we looked at how it would work. so the yellow line here in walnut creek, for instance, is going to have very frequent service for people on some of the other lines. they'll need to get used to transferring, but they'll be able to do their trips as efficiently as before if they make the transfers and essentially, no matter where you are in the system, you'll find a train into san francisco every ten minutes. >> the transfers, though, will be much more timely, according to them, when it comes to this new schedule, they say they will be lined up very close together and hopefully should run, be very smoothly. bart will also be getting rid of its old trains. you'll only be seeing the new

style trains from here on out. bart says the goal behind that is to make sure that things run more efficient. they say the old trains kept breaking down, therefore leading to delays. but now with this new system, they hope things should run more smoothly and also save money in the long run. we're live in walnut creek. ryan curry, abc seven news. thank you, ryan. >> an investigation is underway after hayward police officers shot and killed a man on wednesday night. the department's acting chief says officers responded to a report of a man with a gun near a parking garage. he says the man who was unhoused refused orders to drop the weapon and that officers opened fire when he pointed it at them. officers later determined the weapon was a b-b gun. angela koontz lives on the streets and knew the man and he was up in here last night drinking with a fake gun. >> like a fake gun. a fake gun in his backpack. and like i think he might have pulled it wanting suicide by cop. >> she says she did not hear the officer say, stop, wait or put

the weapon down. police haven't said how many shots were fired. and the name of the man killed has not been released. >> san francisco police just released body camera video of a deadly shooting. it happened in the tenderloin neighborhood last month. officers reported officers responded, i should say, to reports of a man armed with a large knife who was threatening people. video shows the moment officers got there. they saw the man identified as 54 year old richard everett. they spent about 20 minutes trying to get him to drop the knife. hey put the knife down. >> put the knife down. hey, gentlemen, get out of here. put the knife down. hey, get out of here. sir john 5-10. we're giving one commands for eight stage. put the knife down. >> the officers opened fire whenever it came at them, swinging the knife, which was tethered to his wrist. >> hollywood writers and actors are hoping a new bill making its way through the state
