both sides say they will continue talking and negotiating. and here are some of the sticking points in the bart negotiations. the unions says workers have not received a raise in 5 years. they are asking for a 4.5% annual increase over the next three years. but bart has only offered a 2% increase. the strike is costing the bay area 73-million-dollar each day and affecting 400- thousand commuters. the longest serving member of bart's board of director was on the picket line yesterday supporting workers. the strike is costing the

bay area 73-million-dollar each day and affecting 400- thousand commuters. and there were long lines as commuters waited to board ferry's crossing the bay. the san francisco bay ferry service reported that on monday there were 17- thousand 9-hundred passengers. that's three times as many as a normal day. the service expects that ridership levels will continue to soar as long as bart workers are on strike. commuters said yesterday that they are eager for bart and the workers to come to an agreement so things can get back to normal.

want to pass out the same advice we've been doing all week during the strike. if you are planning to take the ferry, the year at least one hour if not 90 minutes earlier to avoid that suggestion. the ferry service is still running extra faeries and they will continue to do so as long as the strike is the one effect so we will monitor the situation, keep talking to passengers who are exhausted at this point and ready for the strike to be over. >>anny: it's like going to an airport in the way. >>mark: >>james: here is the latest on the negotiations. although it is a good sign that they are meeting for the first time since the strike began to days ago, it seems that at

this point, no deal has there reached where at least not to the satisfaction of striking workers. bart has not received any word that workers will return to work at any point today. commuters should expect similar conditions that they face in the past couple of days. however, if a deal is reached, bart officials said they will get the trains back up their running as soon as possible to read both sides said it will continue talking and negotiating. >>anny: we will continue to follow the latest with the strike. we will be provided updates on our 247 news channel comcast 193 as well as updates on our facebook and with your pages as well. >>james: we will take a quick break from our coverage of a deep bart strike and had over to the weather department with erica who has our forecast on this wednesday. midway through the week. and midway through the heat erica, good morning. >>erica: take a look at

>>james: 545 is the time. all want to get right over to the traffic that's right now as the barge strike is impacting traffic everywhere this morning >>george: especially here at the bay bridge james. the local point for most of the traffic. backed up already and to the macarthur maze. the shore freeway back up to the berkeley curve. 80 completely backed up over the toll plaza for the west all right and so is interstate 580 through the

maze as these approaches start to get crowded. check your ride to the san mateo bridge as an alternate, we are seeing a little heavier traffic flow but still a good ride here so this would be a good choice for you know galazy at on the approach. and the golden gate bridge looks good. while southbound still quite foggy but like traffic and effect this week, the car and toll called for southbound traffic has been lighter than usual. let's check the traffic map and drive times for youths. westmount 24 has slowdown. we're picking up traffic coming up from highway 13 schedule leaves into-- leading to the macarthur maze. for your right here in san jose 101 northbound picks up a little slowing

just before the 880 interchange. otherwise, we are at the limit and the northbound ride is still well over 20 minutes from a bottle south to the golden gate bridge. more on your transit options as we head over to air a cup. >>erica: let's talk a little bit about 3 servers which begins at 6:00 a.m.. the first vote will head out. --ferry services. --the first vote will head out at 6:00 a.m.. --boat. they are running every 45 minutes. these are kept that just this is where you can't catch it at alameda or jack london square. that is

certainly a good alternative and bay bridge for most of the couple of days. your forecast. here is a live look outside from walnut creek. traffic flowing quickly but it will be high to inland today. and he warning is in effect set to expire tomorrow night my best advice is to dress in layers, stay hydrated and if you can come ahead to the coastline with temperatures are much cooler. breaking down your afternoon highs for today, starting with hot spots, brentwood 105 degrees and same for those of you and livermore. triple digits through the san ramon valley, concord with a high of 97 degrees. it will be eight gorgeous afternoon for the east bay shoreline at present los gatos climbing to 102 degrees, 98 for those of you in campbell. another scorcher for the and lynn spots but take a look at the

coast line. mid-90s for those of your redwood city a low 80s and san mateo. last but not least, the north bank, had enough to wine country, not with a high of 86 agrees. for those of you headed to the firework display over the thrift is going to be a hot one but a around 930 when the fireworks are expected to begin, only 60 degrees up. so bundled up, it will be too warm and the city. your 7 day around the bay forecastles cooler conditions into the weekend. to go from triple digits in length, to mid '80s saturday and sunday, and mid-60's for the coast parade
