Capital Metro announced that several strikers crossed the picket line today, bringing its work force up to 125. Because of the additional drivers, routes 2, 4 and 325 will be brought back into service on Thursday. This is addition to the routes that were kept operational today as the strike began: 1L/1M, 3, 7, 10, 17, 20, 37, 101, 300, and 331.
