with differing sides of the story. so far, no deal. no new talks scheduled as of late. and right now, we're hearing it's not about salary. it's about work rules. [ yelling ] reporter: all day, bart union workers carried picket signs saying they aren't going back to work until they have a contract agreement and blame bart management. >> they dug in their heels, they overreached. they asked for too many concessions. the workers couldn't agree to give up the eight-hour day. >> a apologize to you all for what you have to make this sacrifice today. >> reporter: at issue, work rules. specifically overtime and scheduling changes. >> management at this time does not have control he over its scheduling, over time, how we divvy up work, what the work hours look like if one job is more appropriate to work a 10- hour shift than eight hours. >> reporter: the unions say they were making progress on the wages and benefits until

these work rules were dropped on them at the last minute. bart says not true. these rules were in writing as of april 1. >> this contract negotiation is a package deal. you can't take the money and run. the unions right now want the money. they want the raises. but they want to abond on everything that bart wants -- they want to abandon that everything that bart wants to provide better customer service. >> reporter: bart contends the work rules are worth tens of millions to pay for the package saying the company was $9 million over budget in overtime last year. they both said they would go to arbitration but when? how long does the public pay the price? this operator on strike without pay said there's no way managers can operate trains anytime soon safely. >> there was that talk and it was ridiculous because we're trained for 15 weeks. it's very skilled. >> reporter: and so bart managers won't be operating the

trains. if you see trains on the tracks it's only for maintenance. liz, seiu, one of the unions, is holding a news conference with the latest information on this strike. and they have released information saying that bart management has the power to end this strike by agreeing to a document from their board of directors that was just submitted. if bart agrees to it this union says bart trains can run by 10 p.m. tonight but, of course, both sides have to agree and as bart said today it's a package deal. they can't take one part the salaries without having the work rules agreed upon. >> thank you, juliette goodrich. there was some hope that we would see a "friday light" commute today. but that is not the case. this is what the backup looked like approaching the bay bridge about a half hour ago absolute gridlock. liza battalones is in our traffic center right now with an update on how things are moving along. >> reporter: ken, we knew this would happen on this day 1 of the bart strike. we are looking at a bumper-to- bumper situation in san francisco. as we go to chopper pictures,

shot just moments ago on san francisco city streets, as folks who were forced into their cars because of this bart strike are trying to find their way home, we do have delays along van ness, battery, first, beale, mission and all of those cars pointing towards the bay bridge. now, we'll go live to the bay bridge toll plaza where we have had a steady stream of traffic all day long no morning commute or afternoon commute, just an all-day commute right here at the toll plaza, especially those outside cash lanes are finding that the folks that are making the drive don't normally make the bay bridge commute so they don't have fastrak. they have been sitting in those backups all day long. right now that backup extending to the 880 overcrossing. san francisco freeways have been jammed. those delays started early around noon today is when we started to see that rush of traffic leaving san francisco and north 101's jammed up from beyond 280 approaching the bay bridge with about a 45-minute drive time being reported now leaving san francisco. and if you plan to head for the golden gate, do keep in mind, it looks good here but san

francisco city streets getting to the golden gate are going to be jammed. it breaks loose on the bridge and then more of that slow stuff as you head northbound through marin county all the way into petaluma. so it's a mess of a commute out there. liz? >> thank you, liza. the commute frustrations started early. riders started lining up before 5 a.m. at walnut creek to snag a seat on one of bart's free bus shuttles into san francisco. the buses at nine east bay stations are first come, first served. by 8 a.m., some riders were let hanging. even the ones who did get to work said they are already missing bart. >> getting here this early and trying to do a different route even though you do get there, it's, you know, you're wondering how full the buses are going to be when you come back, you're going to be able to get them on time. >> there were ups and down but in the end i think it went well. >> 600 riders used the buses from walnut creek. bart plans to run limited bus service on the weekend.

hundreds are turning to ac transit. people were at the toth and broadway stop -- 20th and broadway stop in oakland this morning. the governor prevented an ac transit strike making a difference today. brian webb is live in san francisco, where the challenge now is getting home. brian. >> reporter: first and harrison always a bad spot so it's hard to tell how much worse it is today. you can say slow and steady about sums it up. we have heard a few horns honking from from us demonstrated drivers and some people were waving people in. you see a long stream of cars going all the way back into downtown. one driver said it took him about 30 minutes to get three or four blocks up to this point. so not good. and this is not the only rough patch around. check things out at that ac transit station just a few blocks down the road. >> go ahead, [ censored ] [ censored ] [ pause ] >> reporter: tempers flared early and often. long lines stretching out in two directions by 2 p.m. folks trying to get back home

to the east bay tonight, many who would normally ride bart forced to catch a bus. most everyone there inconvenienced in one way or another, some a little more understanding about the union's cause than others. some say they have the right to fight for whatever they can get, others calling them crybabies. so back out here at first and harrison, the ramp on to i-80 east, slow and steady so far, no major problems but again, the night is still young. live in san francisco, brian webb, kpix 5. >> if not by ground, then by water. this is a look at the lines at the ferry building. about 45 minutes ago, as commuters gathered to catch their rides, the ferries have been very popular today. sf bay ferry says that it's seen more than double its average passenger load for the day. here's a live look at the lines right now at the ferry building. it's just lines of people going all the way down the embarcadero and everybody, we are told, is being fairly patient, although this is really a hassle for a lot of

especially in those outside cash lanes. a lot of these people don't normally major the bay bridge commute so they don't have a fast track account. you can see the fastrak lanes in the middle just breezing through. and in san francisco, north 101 has been a logjam of traffic with delays extending to beyond silver avenue so you're looking at a one-hour drive time getting to the bridge. if you are on the freeway it's also another hour to cross the bridge and get into oakland. now, the san mateo bridge has been extremely crowded still eastbound traffic heavy from hillsdale boulevard in san mateo and that stays slow in stretches across the bridge. you can see it loosens up heading into hayward. so that's a look at the drive home on this day 1 of the bart strike. liz? >> thank you. house minority leader nancy pelosi sounded off on the strike. >> i hope they can come back to the table to have a fairest losing of this that's good for the workers and good for management and is about safety
