>> i just wish bart would go ahead this figure out what they need to do. >> good morning. top stories we are following for you on this tuesday, july 2nd. entering day two of the bart workers strike. long lines and longer commutes expected for a second day in the bay area. we'll tell you what you need to know to get through it. here's a live look at the bay bridge approach this morning. let's get right to the traffic center and kron four's george rask. >> 24 and 580 are the worst. here is a live picture from the macarthur mayes. we are already backed up towards highway 24 in the westbound direction. we're starting to pick up slowing on the

approach from the of our run the side. the drive time from walnut creek in san francisco is 54 minutes. remember it was double that yesterday. the shore freeway is starting to slow from paul street. northbound a 80 is still your best approach. >> we want to update you on the occurring problem with a vehicle fire and brush fire. they both were extinguished but right hand lane is still shut down. the emergency vehicles have not left the scene. even interstate 580 from patterson is jammed up. the drive time is over an hour now to the dublin interchange from tracy. >>

bart workers are officially in day two of striking, and once again other transit agencies are stepping up, to help accomodate thousands of commuters. kron four's will tran is live at 20th and broadway in oakland where commuters are boarding a-c transit busses to take them across the bay. good morning will. >> we did not see this until about 6:30 a.m. yesterday. there are an average of about 30 minutes a woman than they were yesterday. this all along lines either on tv or they were stuck in the line and they stated that today, that would make sure that would not be frustrated. i can tell you that ac transit is adding extra buses. i spoke to a spokesperson with ac transit and she told me that typically if there is a strike they will 2

hour update. >> we are at twentieth and broadway and you concede that these people are waiting for the buses. they are running late and they are also getting frustrated because they do not know where their buses are. we have not seen the frequency that we have seen before. what ever they have they stated that day are try to make sure people are able to get around. i had a chance to speak to a gym in this morning who did not have a chance to get ac transit and he had to take the ferry. >> i always wonder whether not if the bus will show a. up. this would make this

base will morning but it was frustrating. >> were you late to work yesterday? >> yes. but it wasothat big of a dealausehe knew what was going on. >> you can see that there is an ac transit supervisor that is on hand to answer questions. a lot of people are not used the catching ac transit and this is why they were lost and confused. it is still early in my advice for you is that you can come to the other bus stops and still have a fighting chance to hop on the bus. after 6:38 a.m. you should just forget about it. this line will be wrapped all the way around the corner. a again, it will be so full that they blow right past the other bus stops on the way to the bay bridge. these people were just left stranded here.

>> continuing our team coverage this morning. we are monitoring different ways you can get around the bay area. one of those options is to take a ferry. kron four's justine waldman is back at jack london square with an update on the ferry service, hi justine. >> look at the line of the people who did not make it the first ferry. the next one does not come until 6:45 a.m.. they will be standing here for another 45 minutes into the next one comes around. i want to show you video of the line of people who were waiting to get on this first ferry. a lot of the passengers that used the ferry yesterday's stated that it is very crowded and it is standing room only. they stated that they're trying to get here 1 hour early but this may not

be enough time today. we just saw the first ferry left and it was at capacity. there was still a lot of people waiting. i had a chance to talk to a woman who was waiting at and how much it was an intimate sense. >> i have to live about two hours early. i do not want to jeopardize my job. i have to leave work at 2:00 p.m. so i think it on the ferry at a decent hour. i sought yesterday on the nose. >> how frustrating this is for you? >> it is very, very frustrating. hopefully, they come up with a decision. >> you are looking at video of the ferries and taking off heading off from here to set francisco. two ferries just dtesome things

that you should know is that the parking lots are filling up pretty fast. you should give yourself extra time so you can find a parking spot. they are requesting that you walk, take a bite, or did drop off. you can use your clipper card to pay but to do have to have a ticket before you even get in line to get on the ferry. there tried to make every effort to accommodate you. they have extra staff that is working to help everyone. there is a lot of confusion about which line is you stand in. they do have people out here tried to help the people who are new to the ferry. they are using all of the ferries that are available. their entire fleet is being used to transport people. we will get a live interview with a

manager coming up at 6:30 a.m.. will find out how they are able to keep this up. this is are ready date to and the passengers want to get on with how their normal commute goes. we will keep you updated. >> thanks justine. bart management says, it did not receive any indication that bart workers will return to work today. commuters are advised to make alternative transportation plans. here is what we know. bart says, there has been no progress in labor negotiations with its two largest unions. workers want a four-point- five percent raise annually over the next three years. bart management has offered a 2- percent annual raise over the next four years. the bay area economic institute estimates that the bart strike is costing the region 73-million dollars a day. in lost worker productivity alone. that figure is based on workers stuck in traffic or forced into longer commutes

on other forms of transit. the institute says this does not even include things like the economic impact from people who don't buy lunches or dinner because they didn't go to work. we will continue to follow the latest with the bart strike. we will be providing updates on our 24-seven channel, comcast 193. we will also be providing updates on our wesbite, kron-four-dot-com, as well pages. do not be too worried about this it would just be a pop up shower. it is an muggees start and livermore is in the low 70's. we do have a little bit of hefty fall along the coastline. we do have excessive heat in the afternoon and i will talk about this when we return. >> the time right now is 6:09 a.m.. we will be right back.
