LAMTA finally settled strike by agreeing to an ARBITRATOR to settle differences related to the Medical Coverage issue after 35 days of no Trolley,bus or Rapid Transit vehicles moving anywhere. Mechanics walked off the job and operators refused to cross picket lines and joined them in picketing. LAMTA management had brought private bus lines into fray to run service on Wilshire Blvd,Hollywood Blvd, and Long Beach Blvd despite infringing on LAMTA most lucrative routesin the past week ! Strikebreaking ???  Full service on bus routes today and lightrail Blue (LONG BEACH)and Gold (Pasadena)lines plus RED LINE SUBWAY will operate by Friday     cheers rogertrolley
