After a judge ordered striking VTA employees to return to work, bus services in South Bay resumed, addressing the daily loss of $76,000 due to the strike. Despite the restart of bus operations to full capacity, the light rail service faces delays caused by necessary inspections and maintenance, compounded by recent copper wire thefts. VTA urges the union to negotiate a more feasible wage increase to avoid impacts on services and community costs, emphasizing the need for collaboration to reach a resolution.
"An 18 percent wage increase over three years is just not tenable ... we need atu to come to the table with something that's really going to help resolve."
"VTA said that while limited bus service wouldn't take as long to get running again, light rail is a different story."
