The strike by Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority workers moved into its second week on Monday as bus and light rail riders in the South Bay continue to use other modes of transportation to get around.

Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel T. Nishigaya denied VTA’s motion without prejudice because the forms filed were not compliant with the rules of court, according to court filings — meaning that the agency can refile the request at a future date.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, or VTA, said Saturday it has asked Governor Gavin Newsom to order striking transit employees back to work serving thousands of South Bay riders while it works out a new contract.
