septa warned riders to expect more delays çtoday. septa went to court to seek an injunction. that begs the question, how are things running so far this morning. >> let's find out with first alert traffic reporter jessica boyington. >> so far, we're not seeing delays, of course, it's still early for that. we'll show you why. in case you didn't hear most of this yesterday, the subways, buses, trolleys, the market frankford line and the broad street trolley. 10, 11, 13, 15, 34 and 36, all have access to center city, that was givinging us the problem with the strike in effect. the regional rails are in service and were in service yesterday. we were seeing massive delays with the overflow of people trying to get around. there were people on strike around the regional rail stations not allowing trains to move out of the train station. we were seeing major overflow on to the major highways. the vine street expressway not dealing with much. we also don't have that construction tieing it up between the schuylkill and the broad stre broad street. this is over in new jersey in mt. laure

septa is 53 years old. i have never gone on strike. just since i was a freshman in high school in 75, septa has had ten strikes. so this is something, my age group is used to. however, you never get used to a mass transit strike. i looked at old inquirer articles from the last strike in 09. it said that they started bad, and got bad and worse. that is what you can expect today. so what we have right now is a strike only about five hours old. they are still talking that is a good sign. other good sign is last two strikes in 05, 09, just six or seven days. the first strike during "good day philadelphia"'s reign in 1998, 40 days. so, there is the history that tells you what to expect, possibly, coming up. we have talk to willie brown after midnight and talk to a couple commuters after midnight already weren't happy. >> we're pretty farrah part. we're going to stay here and go upstairs and keep seeing if we can get it done, tonight but i'm not optimistic that we can. we have economic issues as far as pensions, you have health care, you als

septa strike day two. so people hitting the regional rails. here's a warning. we saw half an hour delays yesterday across-the-board with regional rails but there were a few lines that saw about an hour delay and that was the chestnut hill west line paoli thorndale and fox chase. those are the lines there we're keeping a close eye on and we'll see how that evolves today but certainly expect delays with regional rails and last night we had extra problems with picketers blocking the entrance to some of the rail yards so we'll have to see if that is an issue for us today as well. so, take the regional rails but expect some pretty big delays. it was just gridlock in center city so looking live here at the vine street at north broad street we can see traffic moving fine. if you can get out really early that's your best bet of course. those delays spilled out from the vine street expressway onto the ben franklin bridge and it was difficult yesterday evening, yesterday morning so we're expecting that once again to
