Buses in Orange County will be in service again on Monday amid a maintenance worker strike in order to get voters to the polls, according to transit agency officials.

About 100,000 bus riders across Orange County found themselves stranded Thursday after maintenance workers called for a strike amid stalled labor negotiations with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).

On Sunday night, the union announced it would lift its picket lines on Monday and Tuesday so that bus riders could get to polls on election day, according to City News Service. Passengers were advised to expect some delays.

If there is no contract agreement by Wednesday, the union will probably hit the picket lines again, once again halting bus service, Eric Jimenez, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 952, told City News Service.
