New2this Posted May 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2017 I recently just moved to NY from Pennsylvania. I have a class B license with a P endorsement permit. My question is, does NYCT MTA bus have a living in NY time frame? 1yr, 2y? Or does it not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted May 22, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2017 I recently just moved to NY from Pennsylvania. I have a class B license with a P endorsement permit. My question is, does NYCT MTA bus have a living in NY time frame? 1yr, 2y? Or does it not. 3 years with an NY Driver license of any type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
161 New York Posted May 23, 2017 Share #3 Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) New2this - Your question and the information you provided is somewhat confusing. To help you and anyone else that happens upon this post: 1) There is currently no residency requirement for any bus operator title in TA/OA/BC. 2) Your driver's license must be VALID in the State of New York for a minimum of three years before you are hired! a) If you can operate a motor vehicle with a license issued from the United States state/commonwealth of insert name of state/commonwealth here in the state of New York for the past three years, then your license is valid in the state of New York. You may be considered for the position of bus operator within the MTA. b) If you have less a valid driver's license, regardless of state of issuance for less than three years, then you must wait until you meet the three year requirement to be considered for the position of bus operator within the MTA. 3) If you have a VALID Commercial Driver's License (NYS A/B or equivalent with Passenger endorsement and air brakes) in addition to the three year driver's license requirement, then you may be considered for a bus operator position within the MTA. To clarify, you can have your CDL for a day and a regular NYS-D class or NYS-equivalent D-class for the previous 2 years and 364 days and still meet the requirement. 4) If you do not have a Commercial Driver's License then, only a New York State Commercial Driver's Permit (CDP) Class B, with passenger endorsement and air brakes is the only permit that is acceptable to the MTA to be hired, in addition to the three year driver's license requirement.

161 New York Posted May 23, 2017 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) If you have a NYS CDL (Class A or B) with Passenger (P) endorsements and air brakes and you had a license (regular + CDL) for a minimum of three years then you are good to go!

East New York Posted May 26, 2017 Share #6 Posted May 26, 2017 In addition to what I said, 161NewYork should have you squared away. And as he said, you are definitely good to go. Actually have an advantage because of the type of licence you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis92 Posted July 24, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 24, 2017 Question, I recently got a letter in the mail to come and fill out paperwork for the part time bus operator position I have my cdl class B permit with air and P endorsements, but the problem I got two violations on my record one in may of 2015 for a wrong turn which gave me 2 points and the second one in 2016 for speeding and that added 6 more points so all together it makes 8 points. I took the point reduction course and paid the fines. Is it possible for them to still hire me? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an effort to hide our identity, you can be vague and not specific. Like my list # is in the 200's (which is from 200 to 299) and I plan on doing to Livingston Street on Friday, myself. I'll probably be wearing a yellow Green Meadows Farm t-shirt if anybody recognizes me... As far as the violations/points: The maximum amount of points you can have on your license is four [4] and those point reduction courses do not count, as far as the TA is concerned. Therefore, they are not going to be able to hire you...sorry... Edited July 25, 2017 by +Young+ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted February 8, 2022 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2022 Question:I have class A with restrictions on passenger endorsement, recently got class b permit once mta calls for training and you pass training , do they (mta examiner) give you the passing passenger endorsement to take to dmv to remove restrictions? Or do we have to join independent bus school for that? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
