LTC Strike Over, Newstalk 1290's Miranda Chant filed this report

72 percent of striking drivers and mechanics voted in favour of a tentative deal reached with the LTC on Friday.

Union president Pat Hunniford says they'll get wage and benefit increases of about 15 percent over 3 years and 9 months.

While in a release this afternoon, the LTC says the total compensation increase is 13.2 percent.

Either way Hunniford says some issues, including safer working conditions for drivers, were not resolved.

But he says the violence in the workplace issue is one they can continue to talk to the LTC about in the coming months.

It's hoped buses will start rolling by the weekend with limited service at first.

The LTC says it'll be three weeks before full service is restored.

It also says people who had passes for November will be given refunds.

Details of the refund will be announced by the end of the week.
