“We appreciate that customers rely on transit and we are committed to ensuring full bus service resumes as quickly as possible,” the region said in a statement.

Waterloo Region residents have been without bus service since May 1.

The two sides had previously reached a tentative deal on April 29 but union members voted the deal down a day later before the strike began.
