QuikQuote: The two sides are scheduled to meet at 11:30 a.m. today to address some details, but Kelly said he expected picket lines to come down later today and bus service to resume "no later than Sunday."
Kelly said he expected the drivers to ratify the tentative deal over the weekend.
"We didn't get exactly where we wanted to go,' but the health, welfare and pension went up, too," he said. "We're satisfied and confident that it will be ratified and we can expeditiously resolve the rest of the issues in a few hours."

Glad to see this settled.

Also glad to see that the OCTA won the battle and that all bus drivers are getting a pay raise. The Union wanted only drivers with 5+ years of service to get a raise.
