Negotiators in Philadelphia reached a tentative agreement to end a five-day strike by public transit workers that had shut down buses, trolleys and subways for 440,000 daily riders. The union workers won’t vote on the pact until March 28, but Chairman Lewis Gould of the transportation authority said full transit service would resume today. He gave no details of the new three-year pact except to say that the fare base would go from $1 to $1.25.
