Ill have details on that coming up in the seven day. Youve got he details a plenty on the strike. That lets talk about this. A crippling morning commute. There are 79 different city bus routes none of them are running right now. Suburban buses are running. Weve got the broad and market frankford subways not running. Trolleys routes 10, 11, 13, 34, 36, 15, not running. 101, one oh he two trolley norristown high speedlines, they are running. So what can you do . You can hop on the Regional Rails but because we are already not at full capacity because of the problems with the silver liner cars were expecting overcrowding issues. Woof already seen situations even before the strike where some of the trains were just bypassing stations cause theyre overcrowded. They have added extra service to try to help out with the Regional Rails so take them but we expect some issues with overcrowding. So heres the problem. So we said, okay, route 01, one oh he two trolley norristown high speedline theyre running you takes them fine you get to 69th street station no options because the market frankford line isnt running. You can take Regional Rails between 30th and jefferson to save some of your walk. If youre walking you can take pat he company. You can take patco station get that 15th and 16th up to eighth and market to avoid some of your walk but this is just such a major issue for so many people. Were going to be helping you out on line on air throughout the morning. So here were looking at some of your majors. Well expect overcrowding issues. The vine street expressway approaching the schuylkill no major problems yet. All lanes opened and thats good news for so many people trying to drive to work matt and tam. Thank you, karen. Our Team Coverage continues with Annie Mccormick live at the sheraton in center city. Which is where negotiations between septa and union reps have been going on. Were told that the atmosphere between the two sides at least as of yet is tense. Annie, there are a lot of questions on when we will see some progress. Good morning. Reporter good morning, tamala. A lot of people waiting to see what will happen next if there is any progress. I can tell you according to a septa spokesperson i just talked to within the past 45 minutes there were no new negotiations overnight. Now, shortly after midnight, the president of the local 234 Transit Workers Union did say that theyre opened to negotiating throughout the morning. Septa also said they are ready and willing to go back to the table as well. Well, take a look at this video. This is video, something youre going to see a lot across the city of striking workers at bustleton and benner. Now more than 4700 local twu members stopped work on the job at 12 01. Septa suggested the union work through the negotiations and past their maryland midnight deadline to avert a strike. The president of local 234 willy brown said thread to draw a line in the sand after two years of negotiations. Brown said they did agree on a few minor things. Driver fatigue still an issue so he is healthcare but the main Sticking Point pensions. Yesterday sources said both sides were tens of millions of dollars apart on the issue. A source last night said that management gets a pension on full pay. While Union Workers get a pension on partial pay and that is the deal breaker. Now brown did address the media just after midnight. Heres what he he had to say. You have Economic Issues as far as pensions. You have healthcare. You also have things like i said come to driver fatigue. We need to be able to do something to not have our operators run up and down the street half asleep. Most people they work from nine until five, you get adequate time to rest. My people dont do that. So we have to fight for those rights. What about pensions. Pensions, were fighting for pensions, also. Reporter and septa released a statement saying in part mr. Brown walked away from a Contract Offer that would have provided his members pay raises enhanced pension benefits maintained healthcare coverage levels and also continued job security. Big question for a lot of people waking up this morning is how long could this strike go on. The answer is we dont know. And in fact last night when mr. Brown was asked that, he said anything could happen in these negotiations. Now, election day is next tuesday. If it goes up to election day, septa has said that they could possibly go to court to have an injunction to make sure that people will have septa running on election day. Now, both Governor Wolf and also mayor kenney have also issued statements urging both sides to stay at the table. You remember 2009 they were on strike for about six days but in the late 90s it was for a lot longer than. That for now reporting live in center city outside of the sheraton Annie Mccormick channel6 action news. Back to you. Thank you annie. Lets switch live to 69th street station in upper darby. Action News Reporter john rawlins shows you live there where commuters will hit kind of a dead end in their transit travels this morning. John. Reporter hi, guys. Well, yeah, normally 69th street station is a transfer point. People coming out of the western suburbs in from Delaware County headed east will come in on suburban transit. They take the el into center city or somewhere into West Philadelphia. At the same time lots of folks from West Philadelphia head west, they go to work in Delaware County. Same thing, they take city transit out here transfer over to suburban transit pick up a trolley or a bus. Well half that equation of course is shut down, its a city transit strike. Not far from here around the corner on victory lane are some of the twu pickets. They will say they understand the impact they are having on the riding public today but they say in the history of labor sometimes you have to walk out to make a point and to win points. About a dozen twu pickets this morning trying to stay warm here in upper darby. They say they are striking for what they believe is right. Safety on the job. 40 hours a week. Weekends. All that came from people who worked for unions going on strike and fighting for whats right and what we fight for here is right for everybody. Reporter but riders not so sure they agree with all this. This man was able to get from his work on a suburban bus to 69th street but is not sure how hes going to get to the rest of the way home now that city transit is on strike.

Chopper live over Cornwells Heights station in bucks county. Two things usually go on here on a normal morning many people take septa to get into the city. That is not going to work since there is a septa strike in effect. A lot of people also park and ride there as they get on amtrak or new Jersey Transit to head north. And its a good idea if you can park and ride and carpool to make your way into the city. That is what the city is telling people that they should try to do, use a ride share, see if you can buddy up with a friend because you will not be seeing septa trains leaving from that station. Karen rogers joins us to remind us not everything is affected by this, right, karen . Yeah, thats right. But this is such a major impact. Heres everything thats not running because of it and weve got a scroll at the bottom of the screen to help you out with that. No city buses no broad street. What do you do with no market frankford subway. Those are the issue this morning people are facing so a lot of people taking the Regional Rails so Regional Rails are running so thats one option to get through the city. I mean, any other that its an easy one for a lot of people. Expect overcrowding as well so thats an issue. If youre trying to get to University City, trying to get to University City station, you can take it elwyn line, the new york line airport line theyre all running and thats one way to get to university he city. If you live in north philadelphia cant take the city buses not running broad street subway not running right now. But if you can get to the north philadelphia station right here at broad and lehigh several areas will service that and that can take you here to jefferson so you can get into the city by taking there so watch for that if you can get to the broad street. How about if youre in northeast philadelphia. If normally you take city buses not an option but if you can get on the trenton line, the trenton line is running and they have lots of stops like bridesburg tacony holmesburg. Those are options how you can use Regional Rail if its something you dont normally use but you have to starting today with the septa strike. How is it affecting the roads . We expect more people on the roads. Theyre going to be more congested. Were looking live at 202. 202 is fine right now. No big issues as youre coming in king of prussia here in this area coming up from exton or malvern or paoli youre seeing no problems right now. Roads are clear and dry on 202.

So, thats just one of the many stories im sure that are going come in today about how much of an inconvenience this is for everyone who depends on septa. Now im going to bring up some video here. Everyone take a look. This is just minutes last night after the strike was announced from the frankford transportation center. Riders are not happy about this. Well hear from them in just a seconds some more people but again 400,000 plus riders depend on septa every day. Obviously we hope things turn outer well for commuters though this is no doubt a huge inconvenience. On top of the Regional Rail line there are some other bus and trolley routes we have been hearing about those this morning. Thats limbed though so please check in on that. Also we have another option for you. The Ride Sharing Company uber theyre expanding their services to try to curtail some of the inconvenience. Youll see a map on your screen right now.
