Gov. Ed Rendell says a transit strike that shut down Philadelphia's buses, subways and trolleys for nearly a week is over.

The governor announced early Monday that the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority had reached an agreement with its largest labor union on new contract provisions to end the strike. About 5,000 Transport Workers Local 234 workers walked off the job early last Tuesday.

Rendell says the system will be back up and running in time for Monday morning's commute.

During a brief press conference in downtown Philadelphia, the governor said SEPTA and the union had settled an earlier disagreement regarding a pension fund audit and made some changes in health care and dental benefits.

Union president Willie Brown says he thinks members will approve the contract.
