two things usually go on here on a normal morning many people take septa to get into the city. at is not going to work since there is a septa strike in effect. a lot of people also park and ride there as they get on amtrak or new jersey transit to head north. and it's a good idea if you can park and ride and carpool to make your way into the city. that is what the city is telling people that they should try to do, use a ride share, see if you can buddy up with a friend because you will not be seeing septa trains leaving from that station. >> karen rogers joins us to remind us not everything is affected by this, right, karen? >> yeah, that's right. but this is such a major impact. here's everything that's not running because of it and we've got a scroll at the bottom of the screen to help you out with that. no city buses no broad street. what do you do with no market frankford subway. those are the issue this morning people are facing so a lot of people taking the regional rails so regional rails are running so that's one option to get through the city. i mean, any other that it'

to believe this is only day three, it feels like weeks now, and it's only day three without our septa city buses, subways and trolleys, it's impacting so many of you in so many ways. and the regional rail riders, those people are taking the rails in lieu of the the other services not running, the regional rails most of them 10 to 20 minute delayed. and inbound train 551 inbounding so the next train can accommodate the local passengers. and on the city streets some extra traffic once again today. we look live at center city this is north broad street, local vine and the vine street expressway and once again congested. traveling outbound on the kelly drive a crash close to hunting park and that cleared out the same in torresdale, near frankford avenue at the lukoil station, this is the northbound side of the scutter falls bridge, construction is taking out one of the two bridges and the lanes are not too bad. across the river in new jersey, a southbound accident on the new jersey turnpike approaching 2006, two lanes are blocked there. lets grab the ipad and do the commuter report on this thu

union said they'll fight this tooth and nail. >> though transit workers strikes have plagued septa and the city before, this is the first time in septa history that they have filed an injunction asking the philadelphia judge to put an immediate ends to a strike. >> it constitutes clear and present danger to the health, safety, and welfare of our riders, and the citizens of philadelphia and the region. >> the injunction was filed at 3:00 p.m. in the court of common pleas. this is taking place as negotiations continue blocks away from septa headquarters, between septa officials and heads of the transit workers union. subways, buses, and trolleys have not been operating since monday at midnight when the two sides were unable to come to contract agreement. since then, concern has been spark over gridlock, and next tuesday's election, septa calls the matter critical saying that many in meade of medical assistance have had trouble obtaining it during strikes. >> it is causing students to miss school and presents a risk to citizens the rights to vote in the november 8 election. >> given that an injunc

> get ready for another challenging morning if you like septa. >> late night talks between septa and the city's union ended with month deal. pamela osborne is there. >> reporter: well, vai, since they weren't able to reach a deal right now, last night, the strike continues into this morning. late last night, septa released a statement asking union reps to engage in meaningful negotiations without delay. they're also asking the union if the strike isn't reached by tuesday, the strike would be suspended by election day. we haven't heard from the union since the talks ended late last night, early this morning. we know that the union representing septa workers wanted to increase pension packages. they wanted to keep health care affordable for their employees and also demanding steadier schedules for septa workers. in many ways, the strike has crowded the city with buses and subways. and they're starting car services. >> traffic is hour rerrendous. >> 95 was pretty clear. >> reporter: and those were the conditions last night before the flyers game. we saw similar conditions throughout the morning an

it seemed as to every street in center city had some kind of traffic. as septa transit strike stretch necessary to a second day, commuters have a word or two for both parties a the bargaining table. >> it is one thing to have a strike and i support whatever they are doing, but that is fine but you are making it mow difficult then it need to be. you knew this was coming. so organize the system. >> reporter: instead many say they were served with a chaotic commute yesterday, for morning to evening, center city was slow going on the streets and in jammed packed regional railcars. only city septa rail option. by the evening another twist to the nerve. >> it is crazy. we got an announcement the at a work that they are picketing at train station so we night not get home. >> reporter: septa later got a court order to allow regional rail work tours report to work and ban picketer from stopping rail service. after close to 5,000 bus, trolley and train workers members of the transport workers union local 234 walk off the job on tuesday, many chose to drive and add that to

bruce gordon is live tonight at the sheraton in center city where septa negotiates continue. bruce? >> reporter: yeah, guys. no question everywhere you look around the city there are signs both literal and figurative that this strike has put a real pinch on small businesses in particular. septa strike has caused them some real problems in terms of customers get into the store, customers, fewer customers with less time and money to spend, and a work force that quite simply can't get to work. kay's coffee shop enjoyed its first busy morning of the week on friday. september tra strike reduced the number of customers here and made it tough for employees to get to work. >> we were closed yesterday because no cook could show up at all. >> we tried everyone of them. nobody could come in. we had to close. >> reporter: kevin stevens one of those cooks. septa strike has cost him big money. >> i've been off for two days because my daughter had to go to school. i had no way to take her to school. finally made arrangements somebody to pick her up. now i'm here this is my first day here. >> report

after septa and the city of philadelphia injunctions to end the strike, even just for reelection day, but it appears that that will not be necessary, with this news. now, even with the deal, septa will take some time to get up and running again, estimating about 16 hours, to be fully operational, with four to six hours before the first services will be started back up again. again, waiting in a press conference to start in about ten minute, we will bring you the very latest, just as soon as that happens. for now live from northern liberties, i'm trang do, cbs-3, "eyewitness news". >> trang, you're like santa claus bringing us all good news, like early christmas. thanks so much. >> a lot of people waiting on that, thank you, frank. stay with "eyewitness news" for the latest development in the septa strike. as soon as there is any new information, we'll have it for you here and on line at cbsphilly.com. >> turning to campaign 16, now inning closer and closer toward the finish line. >> hillary clinton and donald trump continue to seek votes in pennsylvania, which could shift the vote in

now with the presidential election the next day, septa will ask again and so too will the city itself. filing its own lawsuit with the same judge. it's different from septa, in that the city suit just wants an order to get the busses, subways and trolleys running on election day, that quote, voters need to have reliable transportation. the union insists there are ways for people to get to the polls, one with a free ride on uber or lyft, a super pack called my ride devote raised a quarter of $1 million to subsidize the trips. vote pa and rider can get $15 off each way. the create sir based in california but raised the money to offer the rides in north carolina, florida and pennsylvania. >> that's an important state in this election. you know, we really want to encourage people to get out and do their civic duty. >> reporter: that super pack actually endorses hillary clinton but anyone can use that promo code. again, we sit here waiting no new movement tonight. the next, i guess big deal comes tomorrow morning in city hall. >>> as the strike continues, stick with fox 29 for the latest b

city's subway system could come to a screeching halt. the strike is set for midnight. that is 59 minutes from now and septa officials say if that happens, like i mentioned all cities, buses trolleys and trains will return to their depots. talks are going well and sources say the union president could suspend the clock and keep the system running if there continues to be forward motion in these negotiations. even so septa officials are urging riders to watch for an update about service interruption. we're posting them on our website. a spokesperson for the union says there are three major issues negotiators are trying to work out. >> i do hope that there is a fair agreement. but they do need to consider all the people that rely on their service. >> it's upsetting that now i'm faced with the option of getting fired from work, walking two and a half hours or spending $40 on an uber. it's rld. >> and that was greg argos reporting. just to recap, if septa workers decide to strike the following will stop operating. city bus routes, the market frank furt line, city trolleys. some septa service will continue runni

on the septa strike which read in part, the inability of twu and septa to reach an agreement will create extreme hardships for the city and for businesses. i have spoken at length with both sides. i continue to urge them to come together and to continue talking until a compromise is reached. now, septa and its largest union did meet all day and right up until the midnight deadline. >> no you that workers are on strike, it's not clear when the two sides will talk again. nbc 10's "m.a.s.h." is live at callowhill. tell us what the sticking points are. >> there are no buses or trolleysç running out of here the moment. we're at 59th and callowhill. some of the septa workers are across the street picketing on sidewalk, signs in hand. they are among the nearly 5,000 workers who walked off the job just after midnight. negotiations between septa and local 234 went into the final hour without a deal. septa says negotiators are ready and willing to continue bargaining, hoping to come to an agreement soon to stop the disruption. union president willie brown had this to say just afterhood night. >> we couldn't come it an agreemen

here's an example of the center city, vine street expressway, again anything within city limits is where we will see no septa service and even the suburban lines that run in the suburbs, they are not going to cross over the city line. they will basically stop just outside the city limits. coming on the blue route to problems or delays at all here. at least we're off to a good start on the roads as folks are scrambling grabbing your coffee thinking about what we will do today. what will the forecast be like. >> it is about as smooth as the road are, at the moment, because i say at the moment because as bob just said things will change now because of the clear skies things are on the chilly side but we don't expect any rain. we will go right to the future cast a few clouds here and there this have afternoon and this evening and a lot of sunshine tomorrow. it is thursday that we will get a warm front followed by a cold front which means rain which probably arrives after three or 4:00 in the afternoon. the at least that is what the computer models are telling us now you raining thursday night and into friday mor
