5:00 am
apple rumors, then the full- sized ipad is getting a makeover. a faster chip, thinner design, maybe even some rounded corners. >> from across the bay to around the world, the stories that matter on "kpix 5 news this morning." captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com >> score! >> your realtime captioner is mrs. linda m. macdonald. good morning, everyone. it's tuesday, october 22. i'm michelle griego. >> hi, everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. it is 5:00. and bart riders are feeling a little duped this morning. they were told limited service would be running this morning after a deal was made late last night but that is just not the case. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran live at the lake merritt bart station in oakland this morning and cate, we hear it's all about staffing i guess, right? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. we did get a tweet from one of the unions that said that we just don't have enough people to staff the bart station so you're seeing even probably behind me commuters coming up to these doors going inside and coming out just as frustrated as they were yesterday because these trains are not up and running even though the strike is over. we're hearing somewhere in the ballpark it could be running up
5:01 am
at 6:00 this morning. but again, there's still some good news. we were here when the unions and bart officials came out of these doors last night to give the announcement that 400,000 riders have been waiting for that the strike is over. both sides wouldn't disclose the details of the agreement right now. it's still tentative. it still has to be approved by bart's board of directors and put up for a vote by the unions. and these will be the final steps to what felt like a never- ending saga. >> we apologize to our riders for the hardship you have experienced these past few days. we're able to stand up for workers' rights, safety and the riders' safety. >> i will simply say that this offer is more than we wanted to pay. but it is also a new path in terms of our partnership with our workers. >> reporter: bart trains will be running on a limited service when it starts running.
5:02 am
bart is planning on running those charter buses from nine bart stations and those started at 5:00 this morning and will go until 8:00 this morning. bart says that full service will be restored in time for the evening commute. but again, yes, the strike is over, but no, bart trains are not running as of this point. we are going to let you know now, we have seen several riders come up to these doors and not be able to get on a train because the unions say and bart says there isn't enough staffing for running the trains this morning. reporting live in oakland, back to you in the studio. >> cate, any idea how much the strike has cost? >> reporter: well, frank, that's actually a really good question. we don't have the exact numbers on that yet, but we are hearing that sfmta is reporting they added 16 buses and two light rains to accommodate for the strike and that cost them or set them back about $100,000 a day and they say that's not sustainable so this is a bit of good news for those other transit agencies that sort of had to pick up the slack when bart did go on strike. >> well, hopefully they can get
5:03 am
the trains rolling soon this morning. cate caugiran live at lake merritt, thank you. plans to ban future bart strikes are moving forward. orinda city councilman steve glazier started a petition last month to ban public transit strikes in the state. he has been collecting signatures at bart stations, oregon and new york already have laws banning public employees from striking. and city law stops san francisco muni workers from walking off the job. glazier will hold a news conference today about his campaign. with bart trains not ready to roll yet, ferries are still a good option. sf bay ferry will continue its strike schedule through the end of the day, 12 boats instead of the usual 8 running during the strike. >> it could be another long day on the roads with traffic. let's check in with liza battalones. reporter: until the moment folks can take bart, we can expect delays at the bay bridge toll plaza. right now, we have backups and an accident in the clearing

[ crying ] >> he cared so much about the students. >> reporter: police say the 45- year-old military veteran tried to stop the 13-year-old gunman monday morning by telling him to lower his weapon. but instead, the teen shot landsberry in the chest. >> he said, i would hope you guys, i would do anything for you guys. and i guess that meant taking a bullet. [ crying ] >> and he did. >> reporter: landsberry's sister told reporters she is not surprised her brother died trying to protect students. the shooting at sparks middle school started around 7:15. law enforcement officials say they arrived within three minutes. >> we're inside the cafeteria where the students have been huddled. so they are safe here. we're looking for the shooter now. >> reporter: but by the time they got there the shooter had already wounded two students, killed landsberry, and turned the gun on himself. >> he pointed to us and then
5:07 am
said, you ruined my life. and i'm going to ruin yours. >> reporter: police say it's too early to determine whether the 13-year-old student targeted specific people. jericka duncan, cbs news. >> officials say the 13-year- old used a gun that was owned by his parents. new details about saturday's accident that killed two workers on the bart tracks in the east bay. a bart employee who was being trained because of the strike was operating the train that hit the two men. the ntsb says the trainee was at the controls but the train was in automatic mode. >> we'll look at training procedures. we'll look at past training. we'll look at 72-hour history of everybody involved. we won't leave any stone unturned. >> investigators also say there was a warning that workers were on the tracks. today they plan to reenact the collision. they hope to learn whether the workers who were killed had a chance to see the train approaching. >> we could find out tomorrow if the governor will order a 60- day cooling-off period to delay an ac transit strike. union workers have rejected the

5:14 am
they are not really going to go the same distance is like microsoft with a battery, keyboard, track pad, things that make it more of a laptop. >> reporter: on apple's heels, wednesday microsoft is set to unveil its surface 2 touted as doing everything the ipad cannot, it features a dedicated stand with optional attaching keyboard and track pad. it has a usb 3.0 slot and mini hdmi plus a mini sd card slot. >> pull it out during break or what not and actually work on my paper. at the same time, too, i work, so there's excel spreadsheet there that i can use so an ipad, you kind of don't have those options. >> reporter: so in the tablet wars, apple is in the lead but the others are quickly gaining speed. so samsung's galaxy tablet and amazon's kindle are some of the others that just have exploded on the scene just in the last year and a half giving apple a run for its money.
