the crossing study was put together by the metropolitan transportation commission and association of bay area governments. b.a.r.t. planners told us they're working on a core pacit the transbay system's rider efficiency by 45%. part of that solution calls for hundreds of additional b.a.r.t. cars linked to a more powerful commuter management system. we dedicated our building a better bay area coverage this week to b.a.r.t. you can find all these stories on our website, abc7news.com. >>> all right. let's talk about temperatures. what we're dealing with as far as neighborhoods. well, we'll look around fairfield at 41. we have fremont at 50. haward, 53. oakland, 51. san carlos, 54. san francisco, 57. san rafael, 53. those are our warmest spots. the rest of us have temperatures pretty much in the 40s. as we head through time, let's talk about what will happen today in the north bay. 46 at 7:00. 10 degrees warmer at 9:00. 10 degrees warmer at 11:00. low to mid s from noon through 5:00. everybody will have high clouds and sunshine. for the east bay, 53 at 7:00. 68 at 11:00. 70 to 73 from no

recently released by the metropolitan transportation commission and association of bay area governments. the first two plans focus speeding car traffic. by either widening the san mateo bridge or building an all new bridge near the middle of the bay. the rest dive right into the bay itself with new underwater tubes or tunnel that's could revolutionize b.a.r.t.'s capacity and much more. >> we think it is a regional project in scope. >> reporter: he is pointing out that the proposals are only in the earliest concept phase. the simplest idea calls for a second parallel tube from oakland to san francisco's embarcadero. a second b.a.r.t. tube could not only carry passengers much faster but potentially doekt a new tunnel proposed for mission street. that would definitely relieve some of the pressure. but on the current market street line. >> crowding on the platform, exiting people to the street level. so any new tube, one thing we'll be looking for is to relieve the pressure. >> reporter: what if it linked up to a new third street station. imagine popping off b.a.r.t. near new chase center.
