With, who is going first. Ill get first. Thanks, bob. It is 5 00 oclock on a Tuesday Morning but first lets begin with what is not running this morning. We have been talking about it for weeks now. The the talks broke town last night at midnight, septa hit picket line, heres is what not running. No services on the broad street subway. No service on the market frankford line. All of the city buses, trolleys, and trackless trolleys parked in the garage not operating this morning. What is running, this morning, you have the Regional Rails, all of the Regional Rails are operating, the norristown high speed line is operating but only to the end of the line, you do not have that city bus to take you in the city. Suburban buses are running, however they are not going to cross over into the city line. Cct connect which is your paratransit, Senior Citizens use that to go shopping, that is operating, however, i doubt very much they will be running Shopping Trips later on today. They will probably limit that to the paratransit and medical appointments only and lucy loop here in center city is running as well. Now, have a contingency plan. I hope you thought about this i cant believe steve talk to a few folks that didnt even realize that septa was considering a strike. Car pooling obviously a big option. Cab, maybe giving uber a try for the first time. Fire up the bicycle. Check with your employer for not only flexible hours to void the crunch of the rush her but sit the has offered an employee shuttle. Shuttle buses, free of charge, for city workers will run the exact same route as market frankford ape broad street subway line. All you have to do is show your city, employee badge and that shuttle will also be able to get access by folks coming down for jury duty, all you have to do is schedule for jury duty to day, courts, offices are opened, you you can use free shuttle supplied by the city, all you have to do is show your jury card and in order to get a ride on the Shuttle Services. The heres an update on some of the Parking Options. If you do not use september awe will feel crunch because follow thanks do use septa will obviously either drive or get another way in the the city. Flat rate of ten dollars for ten hours at all if not all of the ppa parking garages. We have the locations for those garages up on our web site at fox 29. Com. So far so good on i95, the schuylkill expressway, 476, not an issue. Coming in from south jersey, you will have your normal commute up and over the ben franklin. Patco high speed line is operating this morning. Now how this is all going to shakedown in center city for that lets go out to steve keeley live out in front of the jefferson this morning. Septa is on strike. The since we started good day philadelphia, 21 years ago about, i have reported that, four times now. Four strikes since we started this show, i am, chris stay on me, im 55 years old. 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 philadelphias 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 werent happy. Were pretty farrah part. Were going to stay here and go upstairs and keep seeing if we can get it done, tonight but im not optimistic that we can. We have Economic Issues as far as pensions, you have health care, you also have things like i said, driver fatigue, we need to to something not to have our operators running down the street half asleep. Most people they work from 9 00 to 5 00 adequate time to rest. My people dont do that. We have to fight for those rights. Were in the same spot waiting for bus and getting kick off the bus. They went on strike at 12 00 on the dot. I dont get home. They wait until last minute, and it is not fair for whole lot of people that has to take the bus home. But i will just change my shift tomorrow, turf go home and start working 8 00 to 4 00. God willing it dont last too long so we can all get to work because we cannot afford to be out of work. Reporter so here is the last bus we saw moving, just past midnight and notice above the windshield where they have the route and then suddenly driver flips off the sign and says out of service. He was driving back to the depot. Got his passengers off and went on strike with everybody else. It could be a short one. It could be a long one. We have no indication. Only good indication from willie brown, they are still talking, even though they are walking. Thomas and karen. Lets hope it is resolved quickly, lot of people waking up with anxiety this morning. Steve, thank you. Governor wolf released this statement regarding the septa strike. Philadelphia mayor jim kenney also weighing in saying.

Heres Something Else that is happening on this very busy day, can bill cosbys lawyers convince a why to drop those Sexual Assault charges against him. They will try again today in court in Montgomery County where Lauren Johnson is joining us from the courthouse, good morning, lauren. Reporter that hearing scheduled for 9 00 a. M. Here at Montgomery County courthouse. The it is expected to last two days. It is his lates tempt to clear his name of the Sexual Assault charges. Judge Steven Oneill will hear a few specific arguments in the case, the first whether a deposition by cosby admit to go using drugs to give women for sex can be used at trial. Another is whether prosecutors can actually bring up cosbys prior bad acts against a dozen other women. Cosby, hoist expected to go to trial in june 2017 faces three Sexual Assault charges stemming from 2004 even counter with Temple University employee andrea constand. She says that cosby drugged and assaulted her inside his Montgomery County home. Her story sound similar to that of five dozen others who have come forward accusing cosby of that exact same thing. Prosecutors will argue in favor of allowing testimony from the other women to prove that cosby had a pattern of sexually assaulting women and many other cases statute of limitations is now over so cosby cannot be tried in those other states, karen and thomas. Thanks very much, lauren. Also happening today, drivers in new jersey, when you need to fuel up at gas pump you will be paying more. After nearly 30 years without a gas tax hike new jersey law makes proved that 23 cents increase, and that will bring total to 37 cents per gallon.

Weather is only good thing i think. 5 19. Lets check the other top stories we are following this morning, residents wake up to creepy notes on their cars, park in fishtown. Sinister word written by serial killer known as Zodiac Killer. Letters were found on two street, police are investigating as a mischievous halloween prank. Someone placed them on several windshield on york and sabina streets early sunday morning. Officers say they are copies of the 1907s letter from the Zodiac Killer in the San Francisco bay area which put symbols and threat against school children. Local pastor dan roth recognized the author right away and thought police should know. It looked funny. I grab one and looked at it and recognized it right away as a copy of something from the Zodiac Killer from back in the 70s, it contains some stuff that is kind of threatening, so i figure it would be a wise thing to contact the police and let them know about it. No other letters turned up in the area, police determined it wasnt anything serious, no one was in danger, that it was just a prank. Updating the three pennsylvania residents who were accused of trying to drivein to new york city, heavily arm. They have all pleaded not guilty. Police pulled over 50 yearold john ramsey, five threeyear old dean smith and 29 yearold kimberly brent, back in june, at entrance of the holland tunnel. Now their truck had gun rights decals on it and cracked windshield. When police looked they found weapons, including a rifle and shotgun. Their lawyers argued that the search was illegal and they plan to file motion toss suppress that evidence, all three are free, on bail. Philadelphia police say it was a teenager who went on a paint ball shooting rampage in north philadelphia prosecutors have charged a 16 yearold boy with aggravated assault and related charges. They say he shot the paint ball gun from a home on the 1500 block of west diamond street, sunday afternoon. Two people reported it to police, fortunately nobody was seriously injured.

The kid still to have get to school now that the Union Leaders have decided to walk out. It is a challenging morning. Plus bill cosby heading back to the courtroom later today as Defense Attorneys trying to get the judge not to allow the accusers on the stand. Were also patient more at the pump this morning this new jersey waking tup that but garden state now officially feeling the effects of that new gas tax hike. Dealing with quite a bit this morning. Im Thomas Drayton with karen hepp. It is tuesday, in first. Were starting a new month with a strike. We are following that breaking news this morning. All eyes on septa workers and picket lines. We could not come to an agreement on simple things as far as bathroom breaks, lunchtime for operators, scheduling, operate the or fatigue, things of that sort. We could not come to any agreement. We will strike as of right the thousand. Workers hit the picket line just after the announcement it was made. Now get ready for a messy morning commute. We have live Team Coverage this morning. We have steve keeley over live at Jefferson Station but we will begin with bob kelly and bob, i saw the city activated theyre mergecy Operation Center as well. Exactly. All hand are on deck except on all hand behind the wheels. As we mentioned septa strike is underway here this morning. First, lets begin with what is not running this morning. Not operating the broad street subway. The market frankford line. Those city buses, trolleys, no trackless trolleys. The basically anything within the city limits is not operating this morning, what is running this morning you have to have an option to use any Regional Rail lines from the suburbs in towards the city, norristown high speed line is operating, the suburban buses are operating, however there is suburban buses are not going to come inside of the city limits. Cct connect which in other words that is paratransit system, we have talk to septa, that is operating and by appointment only. Anyone who has an appointment for say a doctors appointment or a trip today, that will be honored, expect delays, because again, the paratransit vehicles are going to have to navigate congestion, the extra congestion, that were all going to have to deal with and lucy loop also operating, today. Now lets go to my maps here if you are driving we are expecting to see heavy, increase in vehicle traffic, coming into the city on our major roadways and even throughout the city, Parking Options for will folks, a flat rate of ten dollars for ten hours is being implemented at select ppa parking garages here in center city. We have a list of those locations up at fox 29. Com. We have a contingency plan, a car pool maybe talking to others in the office, a cab, if you havent tried uber or lyft it is good day to do so. Fire up ten speed bike, check with your employer for flex hours, give you an opportunity to come in later, anyone who remembers strikes from back in 05 and 09, if you can avoid rush hours you have a better opportunity to at least breathe and get there without going along with the masses. And the employee shuttles for example the city of philadelphia has offered an employee shuttle, buses will be running the exact same route at market frankford and broad street subway. If you work for the city all you have to do is show your city id. If you are coming into town for jury duty just show your junior or card and get a ride into downtown. The city services, everything is opened, philadelphia Public Schools, they are opened and kid are expect to be in class. We will get a little bit of the break because it is all saints day november 1st, so all catholic archdiocese schools already had a scheduled day off. Coming in from new jersey in problems or delays at all but we are starting to see beginning of the morning rush hour, there on the freeway, heres a live look leaving south philadelphia, again, expect grid lock to start to take over the schuylkill, i95 and streets in the city. The lets toss it out to a fellow who probably covered one or two more strikes then i have in my day steve keeley live out front of the Jefferson Station. Steve, back over to you. Reporter i lived at sixth street right behind independent hall, Washington Square during the last strike and i used to take septa i didnt have a car back then. I will show you a tricky learn. Do you see this bus coming . Only bus on the road are new Jersey Transit buses. They come over bridge and they all stop at sixth ape federal. Then they go through center city picking up people. If you are commuting from olde city, you can jump on a new Jersey Transit bus and get into places around city hall and check new Jersey Transit schedule and they have plenty of stops. They go all the way up to Cherry Street all around archdiocese f you ride septa from say olde city or touristareas and go in center sit the eye for a short ride is there an alternative courtesy of my little history with septa and strikes. Ten strikes since 1975. That sound like a lot. Can you imagine if we had ten super bowl wins since 57 or ten world series wins, wow. Septa headquarters here you can bet, even though it is empty right the now there will be picket signs ape picketers out there later. By the way if you are not noticing this makes two mornings in the the row philadelphians are waking up with bad news. We had eagles late overtime loss yesterday close to midnight and then septa on strike at midnight. Halloween need, cinderella story as all of those stories septa buses turn into pumpkins at midnight. Heres willie brown and some commuters we talk to since the strike started. We have a few very minor things we agreed upon. Those issues we could not come to an agreement on. We have conceded. We have been working at this for two years. The thing that gets me the most when you you consider pensions, you asked about the pensions were not being greedy. I think septa slapped the public in the face and taxpayers when they told you they will do pension reform. What they did was line their pockets. We found money, heres the money. How do you do pension reform but yet you give yourself, a 500 a month up to a you this dollars a month increase. The that is thiefry. I think it is crazy, i really think it is nuts because people, we all use septa system. 800 i believe early almost a Million People are affected in this and i really think they need to actually come back on and resume rail service because this is really crazy, it is jussie dont understand why they always need to go on strike because this affect is a lot of people that need to travel to work. They need to go to doctors offices. They need to go to schools, et cetera. I work every day, i work two jobs, i dont know how i get to work tomorrow. It is, what it is. But it will affect everybody out working to pay bills. A lot of people affect, life goes on here. Steve keeley following very latest. He will have live updates the throughout the morning. We are staying on top of this one. We will bring you live reports on the strike, you can also get the very latest fox 29 to the come. We have a guide with everything that you need to know, about the Service Stops just click seen on tv. It is 5 37. After a all that candy i need something hot, gooey, maybe sauce inside. Substantial, right. It is National Calzone Day and we are here to fix you up. That is lunch today, i think, and it is a chilly start this morning if you want to go for breakfast one. Temperatures in the the 30s or 40s, because of these clear skies here chillier then they were on halloween morning and as we look at the philadelphia temperatures only 42 degrees, not much breeze and sunrise isnt official until 7 30 this morning. 29 degrees in the mountains. Thirtyfour in reading. Trenton has 33. Thirtyeight in wilmington. 39 degrees in wildwood, again, not as windy but it is chilly so if you are waiting for somebody to give you a ride to work maybe today make sure you have a jacket on. 57 degrees is what we got to yesterday for halloween and that spooky sunshine. Today seasonal High Temperature of 62 degrees, mostly sunny skies, a few clouds here and there. Your sunset time 5 58. We will see how long a warming trend last in the seven day forecast just ahead, thomas and karen. Thanks, very much sue. So much more news still happening today. Drivers in new jersey even if you are just passing through and need to fuel up at the gas pump you will be paying more. After 30 years without a gas tax hike new jersey law makes proved that 23 cents increase bringing the total now to 37 cents per gallon in taxes. Lawmakers say it is going to be used to help improve the road and the bridges. The supporters say the hike is desperately needed because state Transportation Fund is outs of money. 5 38. We are following breaking news happening overnight and this morning septa Union Workers decide to go hit picket line after failing to reach a contract agreement.

It comes down to when it comes down to that crunch time at end of the game, we had opportunities to sack the quarterback, let him out. We had opportunities to make plays on the ball. We didnt do it. Making a move before trade deadline it is a head much quarter. They traded their linebacker Jamie Collins for a late round draft pick and collins, going from the best team in the league, to the worse team in the league. Ouch. College hoops, ap preseason, ranking, came out and they disrespected villanova they ranked them number four in the country after they are bringing back most of their guys from that championship team.

And now theyre looking to see what kind of leaders we choose. Who well entrust our country and their future to. Will it be the one respected around the world, or the one who frightens our allies and emboldens our enemies . The one with the deep understanding of the challenges we face, or the one who is unprepared for them . A steady hand . Or a loose cannon . Common sense and unity, or drama and division . A woman whos spent her life helping children and families, or a man whos spent his life helping himself . Our children are looking to us. What example will we set . What kind of country will we be . Hillary clinton, because were stronger together. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. To smell two body washes and pick their favorite i prefer b. B.

Were looking live, at i95, gap, right here that market frankford syringe garden street station with the septa strike, all of the trains are dark, the stations are locked up and no Service Within the city limits. We are seeing extra volume coming in the city here jammed up on the vine street expressway, crossing town, these folks here trying to get into the 30th street station, again, Regional Rail lines are your one option, probably your only good option right now as far as railroads. What is running, today, are the Regional Rail lines. The norristown high seed line, the suburban buses, outside the city, they are on a separate contract. That is why they are operate to go day. Trolley routes 101, 102 are operating, cct, paratransit, anybody who has a schedule for maybe a doctor appointment or a shopping trip, that will be honored if it was already prescheduled but remember these paratransit vehicles have to sit in the traffic grid locked that will occur later today with the septa strike and lucy loop operating in university city. What is not running today is none of the city buses or trolleys, in market frankford line service and this broad street subway service. There are Parking Options that the ppa put in effect, flat rate ten bucks for ten hours, you cannot beat that at select garage is here in center city.
