area. right now we are seeing ok, visibility as this cloud cover is aloft. at least you're not driving through it. now. temperatures right now in the 50's to 60's those sunnier spots further inland. san jose over to brent would pittsburgh, concord and dublin all hanging out in the 60's already. and the rest of us will get there. pretty easy to see where the cloud covers that on satellite currently near the coastline, right through the golden gate into the bay with the rest of us already. nice and clear. i'll be talking about what to expect into the holiday weekend. still ahead, roads, though, really, really easy drive this morning. a lot of people already off for the long weekend. i believe that's why we're so empty out there. look at this. the bay bridge has never gone above 10 minutes all morning long. didn't even need the metering lights this morning. san mateo bridge, a 12 minute drive across it little bright spot there in the middle richmond center fell a 7 minute drive and the golden gate not looking too bad itself. dari. >> ell right, john, let's stay on with the travel because that's our big story how are

you going to get there if you're going somewhere or and is it going to cost you more? the answer is yes, pretty much no matter what california's gas tax went up overnight. so that's a few pennies. more. also, it's going to cost you more starting today to cross the golden gate bridge. a lot more actually. and bart is charging more too. so let's go to kron 4. sarah stinson first. she's been following the bar hikes in lafayette and has the impact on folks there. hi, sarah. >> daria, that's right. i'm out here live at the lafayette bart station here. john just said not a lot of people on the road, not a lot of people riding bart on this holiday friday, but people who are riding bart are finding out from me and from learning when they get there that they're paying 3.4% more than they were yesterday. what does that mean to give you some context that adds $0.15 to the average fare of $3 and $0.78. this fare increase was supposed to go into effect january first, but was delayed 6 months by

bart due to a big surge in covid cases at the time. here's another example of how this fare increase will affect a ride if there's a short trip from downtown berkeley to 19th street in oakland that would cost you 5 more cents while a longer trip from any up to montgomery would cost you 30 more sense. our officials say money from the fare increase will pay for train service enhancement of cleaning and also more staff or police and an armed safety staff. >> now i talked with bart riders and all yeah, i'm still going ride this. this is cheaper than driving and also caught up with a bart spokesperson who says, yeah, it definitely is still the cheapest way to get to it. >> this in the cheapest way to get to work for me. does >> compared to the gas prices out here really take the bargain. i got get part is a cost-effective way to get to and from where you need to go. >> it's not all commuters. we've seen a big increase in our weekend ridership. so if

you're heading into the city for events, you know, you're not going to pay for parking because park parking is free on the weekends. it's reliable and you can predict how much you're going to pay. you can use our trip planner. find out exactly what your fares going to be. where as you head to the gas pump and it changes week to week. >> ain't that the truth? now? it is nice to know exactly how much money you're going to be spending. and if it's becoming to an affordable, you can apply for their program. that gives low-income riders a discount back out here live. you can see this is the app. the bart clipper app and the clipper app is so helpful in making sure you get your fair, the money in there correctly to make sure that you're getting your ride correctly. there's a map and there that will get you to and from where need to go. clipper app is where it's at in terms of writing bar in a lot of transportation in the bay area. daria, it is going to be

an interesting time for everybody, july 1st, all of these increases going into effect. but everyone i've talked to here says he's still the cheapest back to. well, it definitely is. sarah, if you compare it to driving over the golden gate bridge, which is >> another thing that just went up today. so let's take a look first live at the bridge right now, which is still socked in by fog and traffic looks pretty equal in both directions. from marin county into san francisco. that's where you got to stop and pay the toll and it's going to cost you more. this is part of a 5 year program that went into effect in 2019. so it's nothing new. it was scheduled to be a hike because the increase is going to go to the golden gate transit golden gate, ferry services, maintenance for the bridge and whatnot. so that all adds up to more for fast track, more for pay as you go. i mean, you can see is about $0.35 more for fast track 8.40, now. that's the going rate every day for you to cross the bridge. so you don't forget something. double back and pay

again. can imagine the biggest prices, if you do the invoice rate where they charge you 9.40, to cross the bridge carpool? still the way to go that still at 6.40, every time you cross. and california's gas tax went up at midnight. the gas tax. >> went up about $0.3. it will be $0.3 a gallon that you'll notice at the pump. >> or maybe you won't prices just keep going up so much. you'll think, oh, it is just part of the regular price item seeing daily it supposed to pay for transportation projects services, road repairs, improvements in the wlex. let's take a peek at the rising cost of gas and this was at last check. so did include the extra $0.3. you might see built into today's prices. but now for right now is averaging the most 6.48. a gallon for regular. and then as you go down the list in san jose, it's quite a bit less san jose's averaging 6.30, a gallon. time now is 9, 0, 5.

and meantime, california lawmakers are looking into whether the gas companies are gouging us at the pump. experts say the brand name stations are charging drivers nearly $0.30 more a gallon. and for years the state has been looking into a mystery surcharge. they say the gas companies are not explaining this surcharge, but stay justice officials say and then an actual investigation into the surcharge and potential price fixing would need enormous resources to fund. >> it's exceedingly expensive, particularly bringing in the kind of outside. outside expertise that would be required. many millions of 10's of millions of dollars and the and the it would unser. >> there will be some hearings

over the next few months with industry experts and consumer groups on this. and as we hit the long holiday weekend, some people are taking to the skies. and this is a live look. >> at oakland international airport at this hour. is it busy or what? it definitely is. there's a wait security. there has been all morning off and on. it comes in waves. it depends when you're taking off. but if you are taking flight, they're recommending 2 hours ahead for domestic travel and 3 for overseas. one woman was heading out of town from el serino yesterday and she told us what she experienced. >> a few brief definitely some long lines was shockingly busy, really, really long lines. but they they move people through quickly. it seems like they only had to maybe there may be a little short staffed. >> it just seems better if you get there early because then you're not so worried that that line is going make a late. of course, if you have bags like they do, know if to check them. >> and that takes longer to. so that's another thing you might want to consider. also

definitely check for cancellations and delays. that's something that is fluid throughout the morning. we've been checking. we saw some delays but no cancellations. and we're also at san jose's and then at the airport as well comforts justin campbell takes a look at there. i spoke to an airport staff member here at the san jose airport and they say everything has been running smoothly all step to the side to you can see outside. >> no along a line. i'll take you to our next piece of video of what it looks like inside of the airport. you can a little bit of a line outside the key ask but not much trip away predicting this holiday weekend, 47.9 a million people expected to travel. here's also what it looked like last weekend. this with a different case when >> the x-ray machines, 3 out of 4 of them for the checked bags went down now san jose airport tell us that basically those issues have been fixed and it will not be impacting

people if you plan on traveling this weekend and take a listen to what some of the travelers told us how they're how their trip there traveling has been going so far. so good. it's not as busy as i, you know, normal still thursday that i think of all pretty crazy coming from it was insane like it took me like 40 minutes to get up to the gate and not everybody traveling by air some by road. but triple a says the top destination for people traveling domestically. >> is orlando reporting here at san jose airport. justin campbell kron. 4 news and these gets sfo. we don't want to forget sfo because it's expected to be the 10th busgest airport in the country this weekend. >> with more than 350,000 travelers expected to use sfo. and today they say will be the busiest day for the arriving flights and monday, the busiest for the returning flights at sfo. cheers as the

oakland a's jump another hurdle or around another base. and they're a drive for a new place to play a ballpark at the howard terminal with a 23 to 2 vote. the san francisco bay conservation and development commission decided they will no longer designate howard terminal has a porch priority use area. that means it won't be reserve strictly for port related business. and that opens the door for a potential ballpark. the commission's staff recommended removing the designation on the grounds that the port of oakland will be able to accommodate more cargo in the near future. here's what people had to say on both sides. >> they want to and cried like 5 year-old children because they want what they want. not what they want to give the community of oakland. >> it would be in danger. the maritime industry in the area and will. in it as well. the

the workers on the port. >> i think we have a huge opportunity in front of us today with this. a proposed stadium project to bring an actual economic engine to the city. brain jobs and critically needed. how. >> this latest move by the commission is not the end by a long shot is just one more step on a long road. other state approvals are still needed an agreement with the port still needs to be hammered out an the oakland city council. these to give a final seal of approval on this at this point, though, oakland mayor libby shaft is happy about the decision. she tweeted that she's grateful to the commissioners and every person who showed up to advocate for advocate for more affordable housing, more union jobs and more public access to our waterfront. she says. but on the other side, there are critics, as you can see here, the group, the oakland stadium alliance releasing this statement saying they're disappointed by the decision.

they say one sport land is lost. it can never be reclaimed and it's unfortunate the commission is made this determination. however, the decision states that if the a's don't enter into a binding agreement by 2025. howard terminal will revert back to port use. 9.11. is the time. and still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news, a bay area tech giants are facing accusations of racial. >> and gender discrimination. we'll hear the employees. but what this is going on there. and the new act is trying to protect women's personal reproductive health information. we'll show you how it would limit your personal information. >> and we are going to be looking at some sunshine later on today after some gray burn-off above oakland will enjoy that. 67 under the sun already there in san jose with some mid 70's. i've got more in your forecast for the 4th weekend. still to come.
