PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia's subways, buses and trolleys were expected to be running again by the afternoon rush hour on Monday.

The two sides reached an agreement to end the weeklong transit strike after an all-night bargaining session.

An executive with Philadelphia's main transit agency said, "It's great to be back."

He called the deal to settle the strike a "win-win." And the president of the transit workers' union said the agreement "works for all parties."

The four-year pact must still be ratified by both sides, but officials said buses, subways and trolleys should be running in time for Monday afternoon's commute.

The walkout inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of daily commuters, forcing some to hike, bike or car pool to work.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and Transport Workers Union Local 234 began talking Sunday afternoon at the urging of Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.

"By the afternoon rush hour everything will be back to normal," Rendell told WCAU-TV in Philadelphia.

Rendell met all day Sunday and into Monday morning with SEPTA and its unions to try to resolve the ongoing transit strike in Philadelphia.

"We had the SEPTA's people in one room, and the union people in one room," Rendell said. "By using shuttle diplomacy, we kept narrowing the issues. But it took probably 15, 16 hours."

Rendell, who announced the agreement in an early-morning news conference, said it includes a 3 percent annual raise.

The union agreed to have each worker pay 1 percent of his salary for health care after years of most of its workers not having to pay a premium.

The union had been trying to preserve a situation in which its longtime members didn't pay any monthly premiums.

But it's also getting what Rendell called a "significant" pension increase.
