Transit Strike Ends in New York City

The New York transit strike ended on the 13th day with Mayor John Lindsay announcing a new agreement between the Transit Authority and unions. The city quickly resumed normal operations, with buses and subways back in service. The settlement, costing the city $50 to $70 million, drew criticism from President Johnson but was supported by Governor Rockefeller, who pledged $100 million to maintain transit fares. Despite the economic loss of over a billion dollars, New Yorkers celebrated the return of public transport, highlighting the city's resilience amid various challenges.
