A transit system on the South Coast cautions riders that they may need to make alternative travel plans due to a contract dispute.
Santa Barbara MTD could be hit by a strike. The MTD and Teamsters employees are still reported to be talking, but the current contract expires at midnight.
The workers authorized a strike, so if there is no agreement or extension, the buses could stop rolling at 12 a.m. Tuesday.
MTD officials say no deal has been reached as of 2:30 p.m. Monday. A state mediator has been on hand to assist with the talks since Friday.
The transit system operates more than 40 routes serving the region from Carpinteria to Goleta.
