this is what it looked like at 5:00 a.m.. there was a long line of people waiting to get on the first free chartered bus to san francisco. there are some changes to service entasias many buses will be running. seven will be at the five east bay stations. each bus holds about 50 passengers. and as soon as they fill up they will travel directly to san francisco. they will not be a stop at west oakland which is happening previously. service will last until each bus is filled or 8:00 a.m.. which ever comes first. bart riders are pleased the strike has been put on hold. so are some of the nonunion part employees that have been pulled from the regular jobs to assist during the strike. >> greatly relieved. it's our duty to serve the public. we are doing what we can to ease the pain. but we are also working our day jobs too.

>> reporter: there will still be free afternoon bart services. bus service begins at 3:00 p.m.. the last bus leaves at 7:00 p.m.. so they are telling people to still alive before then. again it's all on a first come first serve. this bus is completely full. many of these people are happy they don't have to rely on always having to take these buses. happy service will resume again at 3:00 p.m. today. but most of them will most likely be taking the free afternoon buses. back here to the east bay. reporting live from fremont janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news. charter buss are not your only option. all major public transit agencies in the bay area including ac transit are running on normal weekday schedules today. some agent sills like ac transit will run additional
