ts to drag on a want this to be settled. as he has explained this is very expensive to get this for potential strikes. we do not think that the bay area should be kept on pins and needles for ever. >> reporter: morgenstern says the governor will consider all his options if no agreement is reached this weekend. but the two best mediators are there.and both sides have had an extra 28 days to come up with a fair contract. so not reaching an agreement would be considerd a serious failure. >> pam: frustration building for everybody. bart riders tell kron 4 news. they are making alternate travel plans now. and trying not to stress out about it. >> i do not think that is going to last long perhaps i could just take one week off. >> it is going to be a big mess. and possibly find out

>> pam: more options now. again, you can drive into the city -- but in the event of strike, expect much more traffic. the number of drivers is expected to be 10-percent higher. compared to the strike last month. here is a look at traffic backup along the bay bridge. during the first strike. video from our helicopter partnership with abc 7 news. according to the m-t-c, during the first day of the strike. 128- thousand drivers crossed the bay bridge that monday. commute traffic was heavier on the other bay area bridges as well. carpooling is recommended. >> on facebook we are asking your opinion. mentioning alternate transportation and you know the options we have thousands of people who interact with us daily. today, some of them answered questions and others are so angry. they wanted to just vent. and they would say at

that's so signigicant. a rare global alert is out for all american travelers. with the fear that something could happen in the next few days. the bulletin from the state department came less than a day after the dept. announced that it was closing many american diplomatic missions through at least sunday. 21 consulates and embassies in all. most of them here in the middle east, including yemen, where the plot may be coming from. also included - egypt, saudi arabia, jordan, iraq and libya. >> it is my understanding that it is linked to al quidea and the unsettled conditions in central asia and the middle east. >> now the seven auctions of the public domain will be closed and there is a travel alert for americans traveling abroad. there is the understanding of the seriousness of the threat. >> catherine: there are few details - but sources say there is credible information that al qaida might be plotting an attack soon. security at u-s embassies worldwide has been increased since the attack

in libya. and it's getting even tighter. the state dept. bulletin does not advise against travel to any particular country, but american citizens are being warned to be particularly mindful of their surroundings - especially in tourist areas. it's very rare to have this many embassies closed. "and" to have a global travel alert. at this point anyway, the travel alert is set to expire august 31st. >> devloping tonight. an arson in the east bay destroys several cars. at first -- no one was hurt -- but that changed when a few of the victims tried to take justice into their own hands. the stunning story -- right after the break. >> pam: also devleoping tonight. a second bart strike looming. --developing.we are monitoring the negotiations between management and unions. and more of your alternate transportation options if train service is halted monday.

>> pam: now for today's market update. the stock market is closing slightly higher after erasing an early loss. here are the closing numbers. the dow rose 30 points. the nasdaq rose 13 points. and the s-and-p 500 gained three points. america's unemployment rate is the lowest it's been since december 2008. but there's plenty of disappointment to go with that good news in the government's july jobs report. alison kosik explains from new york. the u-s economy added 162- thousand jobs in july. most economists expected more, but it's still the 13-th month in a row with gains of at least 130-thousand jobs. still, the labor department says the economy also added fewer jobs in may and june than originally thought, bringing the average number of jobs created per month back below 200-thousand for this year. and yet, the labor

department said the unemployment fell to 7.4- percent last month. that's the lowest since december 2008, one month before president obama took office. if you're wondering how we can be losing jobs and lowering the unemployment rate at the same time, it's because fewer americans are looking for work. and you have to be looking for work to count as "unemployed". the labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population either working or looking for work, slipped to 63.4- percent last month. the participation rate has been below 64-percent for 19-straight months. before this stretch, it hadn't been below 64- percent since 1984. i'm alison kosik in new york. >> pam: back-to-school shopping predictions are out and "thrifty" is the key vocabulary word this season. the national retail federation predicts families will spend about 635 dollars on clothing, shoes and school supplies this year. that is down from an average of nearly 689 dollars last year. the national retail

federation says many parents have supplies left from last year that can be re-used. but back to school is still big business. total spending on kids k though 12 is expected to top 26 billion dollars. if you add in college students, that number climbs to more than 72 billion dollars. it's august and the calendar is bringing kids closer to heading back to school. if you're looking for ways to simplify your shopping. it's the second-biggest season of the year for retailers. the average american household with school-age children is expected to spend 635 dollars on back-to-school items. if you find back-to-school shopping as overwhelming as the holiday rush, consider some apps to help. retail me not and yowza are two mobile apps that draw in discounts, coupons and deals, based on your location. users simply scan coupons from the phone at checkout. the shoptopia app is also location-based, finding and

discounts. there's also a search function if you're looking for a deal on a specific item like shoes or clothes. shopkick recently upgraded its app to allow shoppers to make purchases from a variety of major retail partners, directly from the app. users also collect rewards points as they shop to redeem for gift cards and other purchases. the key ring app lets users ditch all of those store loyalty cards by scanning them and putting them in one place. the app also features a shared shopping list function so families can see who's buying what. and if there's an individual retailer where you'll be doing the bulk of your back-to-school shopping, check out its app too, for mobile discounts and deals. i'm karin caifa reporting. for kron 4 news. >> pam: the u-s postal service wants in on the alcohol delivery business. the struggling service is looking for ways to expand its revenues. it wants to compete with u- p-s and fed-ex. however to do so, congress

was persistent! now wildlife officers have gotten involved setting up barriers to deter the animal. hoping it finds another place to find dinner. >> jacqueline: this live look outside from our roof cam. we are seeing clear skies but just a couple of miles to the west. the fog is at the coast. as we go four or weekend forecast we are going to see cooler conditions as the fog returns. it will return briefly. it has been a tad cooler but sunday, monday, more extended cloud/fog coverage. more on that in a moment but first, saturday. fog early saturday morning by 6:00 a.m. through the north bay and the north bay shores. and also, the south- bay and b 8:00 p.ma.m., is

(male announcer) this is the bay area news station, kron 4 news starts now. >> now at six. >> got three days. >> we want to be at work on monday moving 300 thousand people

>> pam: bart management and unions staying positive, as a possible second strike looms next week. commuters not happy with a return to traffic backpups and crowded buses. >> i dont think anbybody has the right to hold the bay area region hostage >> i consider them public terrorists >> pam: come monday, if a deal is not reached between bart officials and its workers, they will go on strike for the second time this summer.here's the latest. both sides are meeting in oakland. hoping to hammer out a deal and avoid a strike. while several smaller issues have been settled, the main ones of salary, and the payments to health care and pensions. have not. representatives from each side say. they will meet every day through the weekend. in the hopes an agreement can be reached. kron-4's j-r stone is live at cal-trans headquarters in oakland. and j-r -- what's going on there tonight? >> reporter: the union members have been inside, at the negotiations. as soon as we hear anything, we will bring you the latest. j.r. stone, kron 4 news. >> pam: without bart on monday, traffic around the bay area and particularly in the city of san francisco. could be a mess. here. with what changes the city is making to ease the potential commute chaos.

>> reporter: we'll start with muni. which saw a 15-percent increase in ridership during the first bart strike. and is expecting even more riders if there is a round two. muni is ready to help more people. if there is another strike. it will add extra service on the following lines. 14-mission. 49-van ness. j-church. and n-judah. you can pay with your clipper card. and you should expect crowded buses. with all the extra cars coming in. there will be increase parking patrols. mostly on the streets where cars exit and enter the bay bridge. there is also expanded space for casual carpooling. with more service leaving the east bay to san francisco. if the strike last until late next week. you should know that the giants have home games at at&t park monday through thursday. and the first pre-season 49ers football game starts on thursday at the stick.

and friday is the first raiders home game. -although we are getting a little bit ahead of ourselves but plenty of traffic. >> pam: once the unions made the announcement that the workers plan to strike last night, the city of san francisco responded. mayor ed lee, along with several state representatives say this has gone on long enough. >> negotiations should not be about presenting to the public the differences they have. so much as using that time to reach an agreement by this weekend. >> pam: with a second bart strike looking very likely for monday. we want you to know about the other ways to get around the bay. without bart. other transit agencies now have their plans in place. and they encourage everyone to start working on "plan b" for monday. here are some other options. we'll start with. bart's free shuttle bus service. here is a map of the bart stations where you can get the bus.

el cerrito del norte. walnut creek. concord. dublin -pleasonton. fremont. san leandro. west oakland. some buses will stop in west oakland, so you can get off there. others go directly to the transbay terminal in san francisco. those stops in concord and san leandro are new. if there is a strike on monday, the buses will run from 5 to 8 in the morning. the evening commute starts at 3pm. and takes you back to your orginal location. you must have a round- trip ticket. a reminder. there is limited free parking at the bart stations. the buses only fit 56 people. passengers waited in long lines very early. during the last strike. to get the bus. bart will charter 95 buses, it was 79 last time. and if the strike drags on. more could be added. san francisco bay ferry. will again offer extra service. from its locations in san francisco, south san francisco, oakland, alameda and vallejo.

there will be 13 vessels running instead of the normal eight. the ferries will leave earlier in the morning. starting at 5am instead of 5:30. and do extra trips across the bay. the ferry service wants people to get in line as early as possible. you can pay with your clipper card. parking lots filled up fast.so see if you can ride your bike there or get dropped off. a/c transit is ready to roll. it is not adding any extra buses. but will have it current buses do extra trips. and put its biggest buses on the busiest routes. the lines for buses were long in the morning and evening hours. during the first strike. so a/c transit also is suggesting to get to the stops early. if you decide to stay in your car, just when is the best time to go, and which is the best route.?? there really is no scientific answer to that. one day seems to vary from the next. but we can get some insight by looking at what happened during july's bart strike. kron 4's dan kerman looks at that.

>> reporter: if you can remember back to the first day of the bart strike, you remember gridlock. but it might surprise you to know on that first day july first, traffic was actually down slightly on the bay bridge, but up on richmond san rafael, dumbarton and san mateo bridge but let's get to the nitty gritty..congestion. the worst traffic on the bay bridge on july 1st was between 8 and 9 am but as we made our way through the week, people started leaving earlier and by friday july 5th, just before the trains started rolling again, the worst traffic on the bridge was between 6 and 7 am and remember we are expecting a 10% increase in vehicles if a strike happens next week now let's talk about the worst commutes they were all i n the east bay. 80 from the carquinez bridge to the bay bridge 580 from 238 to the maze 880 from fremont to oakland and 24 from 680 through the caldecott to 580 how bad was it. well on that first day it took an additional 24 minutes toget frog

to the maze and an additional 12 minutes on highway 24 both during the morning westbound commute and along 880 at winton avenue in hayward. traffic increased 114 percent between the 6 and 7 o clock hour..that's a lot of cars, but hopefully armed with some of this info you will be able to make some smart comute choices should a strike come next week dan kerman kron 4 news >> pam: once again bart riders are going to have to find another way to get where they're going. riders who normally catch bart in fremont are bracing for a long day monday and are considering several options. many will once again take a bus to west oakland and then another bus across the bay to san francisco, if need be. others will head for san jose where cal-train will be providing extra service. and many tell us they will be driving, which will no doubt make already heavy traffic on the freeway that much worse. most riders are busy making

plans. here are some of them. >> it is going to take me at least two hours round-trip and inconvenience. i'm going to speak to my boss but it is probably the last time that i will be able to stay home. i will look at my options this weekend but they do not seem that good. >> call 5011 or try to plan your day out. that is only, to call 511. to leave, early. >> i guess that i am going to be on the road like everyone else and hope for the best. >> i hope that my mom does not have to work. because i'm going to call her for a ride. bitride-sharing, telecommuting, even bicycles are options for some. well-heeled commuters can hire a taxi. the fare from the bart station in fremont to san francisco is about a hundred-ten- dollars. tonight we're getting new information from the bay area council about what

people in the bay area think of the bart labor dispute. grant lodes is following this part of the story for us and has the numbers.grant? >> 500 people were asked and70 percent of people oppose bart workers striking. 31 percent think bart worker are under-paid and the council estimates the impact of a bart strike coasts the ba area 73 million dollars a day in lost worker productivity. you can get the latest also, the strong economy is supported and they side with bart management in the labor battle. they are telling the unions to end the strikes and to keep the trains moving in to keep the economy moving in a good direction. >> pam: you are able to get the latest developments on
