One man earlier, brought his lawn chair and he was playing on his ipad. He stated that he had done this before. People seem to know the routine but it does not seem to be that they are liking it.

About a half an hourit is filling in on a 880 approach and this is due to a different pattern. Normally, we start to fill in from the toll plaza. 80 is usually the latest. 88580 had the biggest increase last week according to caltran. Theres a problem brewing because there is an accident reported. This could mean early problems for this commute. Westbound, were not seen any backups.

A lot of people stated that they took friday off because they either took the day off or call bed sick. This being monday, there were not allowed to do that so now they are stuck in this line. Many passengers when they arrived on friday they noticed that day were not going to do this again and they want to get here earlier period. Ac trat is on entering this situation and that brought an extra buses. In fact, there was one was the was parked at about 7 00 a. M. All they had to do, the supervisors station here was a just phoned the bus driver and he drove around the corner and pick these people up. I had a chance to talk to a bus driver often this is what he had to say about friday. It is just a situation where there were so many passengers out there that normally ride barred for example, san pablo avenue i had to turn people away because i just cannot get them on the bus. Was it worse and what we sought in july . I am not sure. That is just how bad it was. We thought it was a very bad but at that time it was before the july holiday a course on friday, there was nothing to braces with that and that is why he stated that it is no comparison from what they saw in july. They are stating that july was much easier. We will get more reaction from these a frustrated drivers who normally take bart. The time now was 5 36 a. M.
