service. cal train board members are hinting that idea may not happen anymore. it all comes down to money. as it stands now, the train is planning to cut ten of the 86 trains, slowdown and shutdown three stations and cut weekend service at nine stations all because of a $30 million deficit. as recently as last night, board members say this dire plan could be averted for at least a year. now funds typically used for transit maintenance are earmarked for construction projects could be the saving grace. the plan involves barring capital money. this would help keep the 42,000 people who rely on cal train every day happier, especially those who use the hayward park station in san mateo, the

station in san jose and the bay bridge for the brisbane-san francisco line. they are all slated to close. keep in mind, the plan to increase one-way fares by 25 cents and parking by $1 a day would still likely take effect in july. if you are a concerned commuter, the train holds town hall meetings to get public feedback. the next one is scheduled for tomorrow night in redwood city at the city hall at 6:00. the cal train board is going to vote on the plan to stop the drastic cuts from happening on thursday. brent. >> good news there. san francisco police are looking for suspects in two groping incidents. it happened friday night near uc san francisco. a university employee was walking to her car when a man approached her and groped her. she fought off the attacker and
