minutes. here's sal. steve, right now, traffic looks good on 24 westbound between walnut creek and oakland. it is a very nice-looking drive with no major problems there. the traffic continues to look good all the way through. this is a look at 80 westbound as you can see. that traffic is moving along fine. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. now to the continuing coverage of another possible b.a.r.t. strike monday morning. union leaders have now officially given a 72-hour strike notice. the clock is ticking toward that sunday-night deadline and a walkout that would shut down the entire b.a.r.t. system. we have team coverage. janine de la vega is looking ahead toward monday morning's commute with tips how to survive the potential gridlock. we begin with tara moriarty with more on the strike warning new information on what's happening today. good morning, tara. >> reporter: well, we just received a text message from a b.a.r.t. union leader. she says they will be it sitting down stat 11:00 this morning, both of the sides to try to iron out differences.

the sentiment here at the west oakland b.a.r.t. stration is here we go again. right now everything is bustling. come monday morning we may see the shuttle lines because the trains will not be running. last night around 7:00, we saw b.a.r.t. union leaders step out of their labor talks and give their 72- hour strike notice. they went back inside after that and they continued talking. 30-day contract extension was supposed to help these two sides, you know, give them some breathing room, regroup, come together, refocus. but that doesn't appear to be the case. >> we will continue to bargain in good faith with the hopes that the district will do the same so that we can effect a good contract that is equitable and fair for our riders and workers. >> reporter: b.a.r.t.'s spokesman said this is noticing and the unions are the ones failing to respond to reasonable compromise. >> we're in there tonight doing some talking. we're back tomorrow.

we can continue to talk to august 4th if that's what works. a strike is only gonna stall the process. >> reporter: union leaders are pointing fingers at thomas hock for busting the union. today, the union officials are heading to the board meeting for -- to ask the board to change their tune. the two sides will work right up until the 11th hour. judging by the way things have been going, this strike will likely happen. i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 7:04. once again, b.a.r.t.'s 400,000 daily riders may need another way to get to work or school monday morning. b.a.r.t. will provide limited weekway round-trip charter service across the bay at no charges. the buses between the east bay and san francisco will run during the peak commute hours. but these buses can only carry about 4,000 passengers each day

in each direction. a.c. transit will provide its regular commuter bus service between the east bay and san francisco and the peninsula. it hopes to provide extra buses across the bay if there's a b.a.r.t. strike but that depends on the availability of both a.c. transit buses and drivers. many stranded passengers may hop on a boat like they did last month. the san francisco bay ferry plans to launch its boats earlier in the morning and increase the number of ferries from 8 to 13. there will also be more ferry runs from oakland, alameda and vallejo. the possibility of a b.a.r.t. strike next week will be the focus of a meeting at san francisco city hall at 10:00 a.m. this morning. ed me will meet with marty morganstern. you will remember he was the one who announced the 30-day b.a.r.t. contract extension last month. if there's a strike, we'll be here for you starting at 4:00

while it was burning and was able to save it. it's parked on the street. but it does have damage. there's one more empty space over here right where the firefighter is walking by. that space was actually occupied by this truck. that truck owned by a man. that takes us the story on another turn. his name is vade. he lives upstairs in the apartment complex. by many accounts, he does not get along with his neighbors. he started to bang on doors to get everyone out. we have video from firefighters -- you can't see the cars from behind the call walls of flames. the firefighters got the fire out in ten minutes. it started at 3:30 as the flames were dying down, vade said they took it upon themselves to take it out on him and more specifically his faith. >> my neighbor's friend or something decided they would

sucker-punch me. >> reporter: they hit you? >> yes. it looks like it more than just a regular fist. >> reporter: what did you say? >> thank you very little. >> reporter: are you saying you didn't start the fire? >> of course not. why would i start a fire in my own apartment complex? >> reporter: just before 6:30, firefighters came to look at his eye one more time and deep sided that he needed to go to the tonight to get it stitched up. he told us his apartment was trashed by neighbors. we talked to many residents out here. many of them believe this all needs to be looked at much closer by police. we can tell you that fire investigators are out here. they talked to vade before they left, taking a look at the scene. the investigators are trying to determine a cause. very emotional out here. small parties, they say even though this fire is out, they don't feel safe because they don't know the story goes from here. claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, claudine.

7:08 want to check in with sal. see what's happening on the roads. this could be the last kind of normal commute for -- >> that thought has crossed my mind. we've been looking at the bay bridge. it's slow because of a crash. this is a look at the macarthur maze. earlier, the traffic was backed up around the corner here. now it looks like it's improved. at the toll plaza it's still slow and i have a feeling it will look like this on monday. it may be worse on monday if b.a.r.t. is not running. on the nimitz freeway, the san mateo bridge, you can use it. san mateo bridge is a little heavy heading out to the peninsula. no major problems on the span. let's go to steve. very happy friday morning. a little bit more fog, filling in yesterday. there were no-doubt-about-it breaks. there was some sun. it's back, especially along the san mateo coast. back into the gray. there are some -- trying to clear on the -- part of the

north coast, mendocino, sonoma coast. it will be warmer away from the coast. today will be more mid- to upper 80s. ukiah, clearlake, the wind kind of the key. it's only 15 miles an hour at travis air force base. yesterday at this time, they had gusts to 30. san francisco, not much change. 63 yesterday. i went 63 today. normal 67 this time of year. san mateo, by the way, the aloha festival in san mateo this weekend. what's the weather like? like today. maybe cooler. 72 for a high. some 40s to the north bay. now settling in on 50s. make the breeze and fog filling in. that's the 15 miles per hour. yesterday, 28 to 30. still a little breezy but nothing compared to what we had. high pressure noses in for one day. it doesn't do much for the coast and bay and another low is going to form. a piece of it broke off the main low. it looks like it will play into our weather for all of next

week. it's on its way, then it will start to influence the areas. today looks like a bump up in the temperatures. some 80s after yesterday '70s. it doesn't take much to bump up. we'll see some 80s in novato up to santa rosa and napa, pleasanton, it san jose. a lot of 70s on the peninsula. 60sen the coast -- 60s on the coast. it looking cooler and that will go into next week. well, the dow and s&p started in territory. all is done this morning. the dow is currently down 40. the nasdaq is down 4. s&p down 3. the main reason for this drop, the july jobs report. just came out this morning. it's basically mixed news. the unemployment rate did fall to 7.4%. that's the lowest level in four and a half years. but part of the reason for the drop, people stopping to look

for work and the economy only added 162,000 new jobs. plus the number of jobs created in may and june was revised down by 26,000. so basically, that suggests weak economic growth and businesses still cautious about hiring. it's good but it's only kind of good. i think a lot of i vesters were hoping for some -- investors were hoping for some better news. >> and a lot of those new jobs are part time. >> yes. a late night bust at an internet cafe. what was really going on that brought 40 officers there? strong reaction to an unspecified but credible terrorist threat. what the state department has ordered to happen at u.s. embassies across the muslim world this weekend. just look for the g. boom! that's how nutrition is done, people.
