Well, it probably seemed like a good idea at the time, some of the siberian tigers at a zoo in china were getting a little, well, fat, so the keepers figured theyd send in a drone for those fat cats to chase to get a little exercise.

Please tell me. I know. So happy to be here today. Weve got the whole team and mike nicco has a look at your friday forecast. Yeah, a lot of sunshine again today. How about that. Lets take a look at whats going on with live doppler 7. Hi, everybody. It is bone dry this morning. In fact, some frost forming. I know i had to scrape a little off this morning so lets take a look at those temperatures. Were in the low to mid 30s inland as we look from the east bay hills, barely around 40 for the bay and the coast as we head through your 12 hour day planner, low to mid 50s, so cooler than average. We have some 40s. Take a look at some neighborhood temperatures and clear lake is still flooding. The latest on that next. Taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, we just had a twocar crash right in the center there. Lane 7 and 8. We did swing our camera around and that has fully cleared there so no more blocking for that situation and it looks like just a little bit of a stackup in those cash lanes. And another collision just cleared in the peninsula. We had three lanes down up until about 15 minutes ago but all lanes cleared and that backup cleared out very quickly. Well take a look at drive times coming up. Brace yourself, b. A. R. T. Riders, b. A. R. T. Is considering raising prices and Cutting Service. I know it may be hard to believe, but b. A. R. T. Says raidership is falling and it needs to make up for that lost money. Amy hollyfield leave for at the dublin pleasanton station. Reporter Cutting Service is not a popular idea out here among these Early Morning commuters, as you can imagine. One man told us the trains right now are so crowded, he thinks they should consider starting earlier, not later. The problem is, b. A. R. T. Says ridership is down, especially on the weekends. That means revenue is down. And b. A. R. T. Needs to find some money. So one idea is to cut the 4 00 a. M. Service and start at 5 00 a. M. That would create a hardship, though, for a lot of commuters. It would suck for a lot of people. The train is full. Its really packed at this time. So, a lot of people do use it at this time. So, yeah. That would be a huge hit. Reporter other ideas on the table include selling more ads, catching those who dont pay their fares, and to charge more in parking. This spring, b. A. R. T. Will be p polling its riders to get thoughts. If they come here to this station at this time of day, i can promise they are going to get an earful.
