About 1,500 members of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 returned to work Thursday to prepare for the resumption of bus service, the agency said. Light rail service could begin as early as Monday, but it is expected to take a “little longer to resume” than buses as workers inspect the tracks and overhead lines of the 42 miles of the system.

With the union worker strike over, some VTA bus service will resume Friday, with more bus lines and light rail services restarting over the next few days. VTA has yet to determine which bus lines will return tomorrow,

Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority light rail and bus service is shut down Monday as more than 1,500 front line employees have gone on strike.
