strike, finally over after four days without train service. right now, trains are running on limited service. this is after the transit agency and its unions reached a tentative agreement last night. but the contract still needs to be approved by union members. despite the strike being over, it was a messy commute. most of the highways were gridlocked with people trying to drive to the city and there confusion -- there was confusion over whether the expanded h.o.v. hours were in effect. and in walnut creek despite station gates opening up at 4:00, some were still forced onto b.a.r.t. charter buses. we will have team coverage on what the tentative agreement includes. we start with janine de la vega on the current status of things. >> reporter: good afternoon. i've just been told that 48 trains are running out of the normal 52 that run at this time. so they are just four trains

then, but traffic was light. commuters who were not sure how reliable service would be did not come. but those who doctor were glad trains were up and running. >> it's a relief. it's been a nightmare. hopefully with everything settled, we won't have to deal with another strike for a while. >> happy it's running. a three-hour commute to and from and then $30, $40 in parking. i have a baby at home that's only four months old, i need something shorter than three hours each day. >> reporter: earlier there were delays of 35 to 45 minutes but that shrunk to 20 minutes. b.a.r.t. says the goal, full service for the afternoon commute. they will still provide free charter bus service for the afternoon. and just to give you an idea of just how much lighter traffic was on b.a.r.t. trains this morning, i was told by a spokesman that ridership was down 69,000 people compared

to a typical tuesday. reporting live from fremont, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, janine. even though the b.a.r.t. strike ended last night, san francisco bay ferry continues to provide its b.a.r.t. strike service schedule today. it's running 12 boats between oakland, alameda, san francisco, south san francisco. on a normal day, they would run eight boats. >> she thought the public probably didn't know b.a.r.t. was back on. my understanding is that b.a.r.t. is not at full strength. it will take until this afternoon. we thought it was best to provide the service we could to the public. so they know we're there and they know to get back to their cars runway or another. >> ferry ridership was down noticeably compared to the four days of the b.a.r.t. strike. on friday, more than 7,000 people rode the ferry boats. sunday, the load was 1900, twice the normal sunday ridership and yesterday, it climbed to more than 15,000.

all of this wrapped up by early next week. here's the clincher -- they are meeting with the mediator right knew at caltrans headquarters. they still have an important part of their contract to get ironed out. if that doesn't happen, the other unions say they will stand in solidarity and we could be looking at another strike all over again. life from oakland, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, tara. ntsb investigators confirm that a trainee was at the controls of the train whoen it struck and killed -- when it struck and killed two workers on the track saturday afternoon. >> he would just struck some individuals at approximately 16 decimel 2. >> the two victims, christopher shepherd and lawrence daniels were inspecting the tracks near the lawrenceville station when they were hit. they say it appears that a message did go out over a
