Philadelphia Transit Strike Is Settled
From Times Wire Reports
Subways, trolleys and buses started rolling again for the first time in a week after Philadelphia transit workers agreed to end a strike that forced more than 400,000 daily riders to find some other way to get around.

The four-year pact must be ratified by the workers.
