Johannesburg - Metal Workers' Union, Numsa, says it has decided to agree to what it calls 'a sell-out deal' for a 9% wage increase in the passenger bus sector.
SABC reports Numsa had initially rejected the agreement signed by other transport unions on Friday.
On Tuesday, bus drivers across the country downed tools, demanding better pay and working conditions.
Hundreds of thousands of commuters were left stranded; especially those who had planned to embark on the Easter weekend holidays.
Numsa's acting spokesperson, Phakamile Hlubi, says they are urging all their members to return to work.
