SEPTA Strike Over, Trains Start Rolling Again
Philadelphia's crippling weeklong transit strike ended early Monday, ensuring that all buses, trolleys and subways will be up and running by Election Day. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and the union representing about 4,700 transit workers announced a tentative agreement before daybreak
SEPTA chairman Pat Deon and TWU Local 234 president Willie Brown made a joint announcement of the deal from the union hall before daybreak Monday
We are pleased this morning to announce a tentative agreement with TWU Local 234," Deon said
Though a deal was reached, riders of the nation's sixth-largest public transportation system couldn't expect to immediately hail their normal bus or trolley. Commuters still had to find alternate means of travel Monday morning
Philly Files Motion to Halt SEPTA Strike for Election Day
By 9 a.m., Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford Line (with the exception of the 5th Street Station) subways were operating again, though on a reduced schedule. Limited trolley service was also restored by midmorning as the 11,13, 34 and36 lines were first to get back on track
SEPTA bus routes 1, 6, 8, 14, 17, 18, 20, 23, 28, 29, 33, 40, 44, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 59, 60, 66, 77, 79, 84 and 88 were the first to go online at 1 p.m
SEPTA Strike Continues as Accusations Fly
SEPTA said it usually takes 24 hours to have all its buses, trolleys and subways running after a shutdown
Service will be phased back in throughout the day with full schedules to be restored by Tuesday, said SEPTA
