From prior experience, this and this practice exams should do the trick. Even the newest Bus Operator book that is out, which can be viewed here and here, is, in my opinion, about 25% useful and 75% useless.

Why are they giving NYPDs exam to bus operators?

My payment status was just updated to success....

How often is the mta employment website updated? I logged into my account and paid for this exam received my email stating that it was accepted but the site says payment failed....is this something that will update or do I need to contact exams?

Hey SevenEleven I just applied to this most recent TA exam. I’m really hoping to go to SI for work specifically Castleton. How is it working on SI? How often do you cover runs from the other depots?

Just paid for the exam. I received an email back when the filing period started stating to wait a week after the filing period to pay for the exam. Something told me to log into my online account and there was the message saying to pay for filing. So I guess it’s now official I applied for the test

I saw 7426 on Crossbay earlier NIS and it has NYC Bus on the side, pretty sure those never ran for NYCT.

They ran on SI seen a 74xx on the X22 running on the turnpike

XD40 #4897 might not go to Ulmer Park anytime soon. I saw it in normal service on the M42 bus with MJQ decals.</p></blockquote> It's actually been at quill for about 2 weeks now it went in service yesterday morning for the first time on the M42. I was gonna post it up but someone already did now.

Seen it yesterday while driving my bus across 42nd Street...

Academy Perth Amboy running NABI's on 814,815,810 and 811.

Hopefully Suburban will be getting there 3 NABIs soon. Out of 3 baby novas we have only one is in service and thats about to die anyday now.

Spotted 512 on the Turnpike heading north yesterday afternoon

Route 12 under Coach USA (Elizabeth)...wasn't that bus discontinued and merged into the 24?

Hey I was down at the Coach New Brunswick location (Suburban) and the only buses they have are MCI's and VanHool and J-Models. Was told by the Assistant GM that the other routes are no longer there. Also the total number of buses was well over the 67 thats listed. I can try and get some numbers for you as i should start working there next week

wow :eek: did you noticed if it looked different in anyway of sorts?

I didn't see a difference but then again I was driving by trying to focus on all those damn trucks surrounding my bus lol

You're welcome and i would of been surprised if 6000 was there to but maybe it could of been some 5800's since the 25 goes there.

Just saw 6004 also at Ironbound

5999 over there? interesting and yes you spelled it right.

Thanks . I was driving down that street headed toward 1&9 (Training with Coach USA) and spotted it just hanging out. There were others but I couldnt get there numbers.

Saw 5999 sitting in the yard on Doremus (I spelled it wrong I think) while I was training.

Sorry if already posted but 2901 out of yukon (seen driver doing his post trip) with UP stickers. been here awhile and still wearing UP

That person was referring to Rte 1&9 + another thing the bus was spotted on I-287 which does have a connection to RTE 1&9. I frequent both roadways to get into northern NJ/UPSTATE NY. and not only that WF doesn't even have the bus yet.

There were no depot stickers on it at all. Yes Rt 1&9 is in NJ and the bus was headed south bound toward I278

Spotted new bus 300 on Rt 1&9 South heading toward Staten Island and Im assuming on to Brooklyn.

This ain't much but look here

when i took a picture of the shield on the 5953 you can see leather seats.

Thank you so much. I have to go look for one

Question: the 5900 series of NABIs have leather seats? If so does anyone have a pic

I can't wait for the NABIs to come to Community Coach. Drove one today and i love it

You guys may already know this and I don't know how soon but NABIs are coming to Community Coach very soon
