  6. i start in 15 in days, as transit electrical helper, this is the longest and most paper work ive ever had to do for a job, spending 7 hours at their office multiple times, along with the mta making mistakes with my paper work then having to come back 2-3 times. Then me having to call multiple times to get information, then you calling the numbers they gave youa nd for 2 weeks you call 8 times to finally get in contact with someone. Liiterally like `140 pages of forms signed/looked at, and more pages to come during training. The test was somewhat hard, 73 percent of those who took mine failed, they recently chanaged the past two years from 40 questions to 80. They have mulitple traninig classes a year i believe its 5 classes a year and htye last for 4-6 weeks depending on which department you get into. What ever division needs people is the division they send you to, and your locked in for at leats one year. You can request a transfer to another divsion after a year, but you have no choice to what other divsion you go to its up to hr and whats avaliable. After one year you can take the mechanics/maintiners test if you pass you will now get a higher wage. The easiest division to transition from helper to maintainer is lighting .Say your transit electrical helper in the signals disvison, there is also a easier path which is to go for signal manitainer trainee and slowly work your way up to maintainer. instead of going for the signal maintainer title in which you will have take a hard test and pass. I checked the recent application for electrical helper and they added another division hvac along with car maintainer so now electrical helpers may be sent to work in those two areas. Ill update folks how the training classes are later on.
  7. I want to thank everyone on these forums that gave advice and or words of encouragement along the way. Young, Dee and anyone else that conversed with me, it's very much appreciated.
  8. 4639: has been converted to a parts bus for needing parts out of the entire 134 active Next Gens at JFK - rear and side panels were removed
  9. 8756 Casey Stengel to Jamaica (With Jamaica decals)
  10. To my knowledge they are done with that project, at least for now. as a matter of fact, most of the work coming up on the Q is at the north end.
  11. Here’s the thing… the Mikey wasn’t “cut in half”. 90% of M crews still have trips. yes, that has made Metropolitan Ave crew quarters very crowded, but, c’est la vie… So the boosts on the other lines were not really at the expense of the Mikey, they are temporary jobs mostly filled by new people without fully picked jobs on a line. The extra crew needs on the R actually surpassed what the M or E could give up.
  12. Part Suspended There is no train service between 167 St and Woodlawn in both directions. The last stop on northbound trains is 167 St. Emergency services are responding to a person who was struck by a train at 183 St. Travel Alternatives: Transfer at 161 St-Yankee Stadium to a train for service between Manhattan and the Bronx. Consider taking a Bx10 bus for service between Bedford Park Blvd and Woodlawn. Posted: 03/28/2024 09:49 PM
  13. Sadly, there is no public transport option to go to Six Flags Great Adventure. Also, there was not due to the fact that it had higher ridership, or that Six Flags made an disagreement with NJ Transit, this is likely budget cuts.
  14. I’d just run it the regular Astoria-Coney Island service and people will just have to tough it out. There’s not enough crews to run a second service from 96 St to Coney Island, to supplement. I’m assuming many Astoria riders will be ubering, biking, or walking to the to avoid the backtracking to Astoria Blvd, which is annoying especially when the is not reliable with trains meeting at Astoria Blvd for transfers. A lot of times, the Manhattan bound train leaves JUST AS the Astoria-bound train is entering with a full load of passengers, forcing another 15 minute wait.
  15. Where else are you going to run the ? My main concern is that they want to run near-late night headways on one of the busiest Broadway Locals on a weekend. That’s why I offered 96th St at first, then 21st St (but I forgot the shuttle is going away this weekend), then Queens Plaza (have the go via 63rd St).
  16. A random thought. I know that now with the 63 St tunnel reopening for full service, full service will be restored to the but are there enough crews to run this service? Remember that when the was cut to its current service (57 St to Metropolitan Av), the and got service buffs during the midday which was partially offset by service being cut in half. And during the first month or so. There were many crew shortages on the especially, even with the lack of 179 St trips. I wonder if it will be just as bad if not worse now that we need the full crew roster for the QB corridor and to maintain the service buffs that have been given.
  17. Yep that could work, just cut the to a Brooklyn-only service and run the on 2 Av (each every 12 minutes) and shuttle buses for Astoria and Brighton I’m assuming? The could handle 96 St on its own (if it ran every 8 minutes in place of the ) but the via 2 Av…no. Just leave it every 15 minutes its regular route. There’s already too many crew shortages to be adding service Willy-nilly
  18. And why not cut the between Prospect Park & 96th St/2nd Av while they continue 7th Av’s track work and fit the on 2nd? Solves both issues.
  19. Even with the to 96 St/2 Av that weekend, maybe the could join IF the is having any more Brighton Line work done that could be piggybacked since 2 Av would be serviced by the and (in your hypothetical proposal). even if it were to pass, you’d have two branches each every 24 minutes, and a high likelihood for uneven service especially southbound.
  20. It’s one of their most profitable routes though, why cut it??
  21. Not possible, 96 will be occupied by the Mikey that weekend.
  22. https://www.njtransit.com/sixflags it’s confirmed. RIP route 308. You will be missed.
