November 3, 2009 Transit workers in Philadelphia on strike Play video

(NECN/WPVI: Philadelphia, PA) - Nearly one million people are going to have to figure out how to get around Philadelphia Tuesday.

That's because nearly five thousand bus drivers, subway operators, and mechanics are on strike.

Talks stalled last week, but workers agreed to stay on the job until after the World Series games in Philadelphia were over.

All mass transit service in the city, except for regional Amtrak service is now stalled.
