  1. 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?
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. They ran on SI seen a 74xx on the X22 running on the turnpike

  7. Seen it yesterday while driving my bus across 42nd Street...
  8. 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.
  9. LOL no that wasnt me. I haven't driven a state bus in a long time. I normally go downtown or to 42nd and 1st Ave. Whats going on with you and shortline? Will i see you at the training school?

      I'm still waiting on them to set something up. Last time I talked to the the HR guy in Mahwah they were gonna see if they could just skip sending me to Elizabeth and send me right to line training

       

  10. Nice good luck with your interview. Surburban is great. I'm assuming that you.don't have to do charters if you didn't want to. But we are getting lots of.charter jobs.

     

    Starting next week I will get to drive the D4500s with the 10 speed. That's the bus I have been waiting on. Then on to the J model and the Van Hools.

     

    That bus lane is really something else. I'm getting used to it more but its still scary. And I believe that the training is in Elizabeth. At least that's where we all were in January. If you do go there maybe we will see each other since we (Suburban) park our buses there til the afternoon.

  11. Spotted 512 on the Turnpike heading north yesterday afternoon
  12. Oh yea...first time in the bus lane I was nervous as hell. Then the helix and tunnel. The Port wasnt as bad but that 4th floor can get real tight. Just did a few runs today in and out the Port. Mostly so far I've been Downtown Wall Street and Crosstown to United Nations. Oh the Holland Tunnel is extremly nerve racking...

    How are you making out with Shortline?

  13. Route 12 under Coach USA (Elizabeth)...wasn't that bus discontinued and merged into the 24?
  14. 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
  15. Well it all depends on your garage. Shortline uses MCIs. Since I'm with Community I'm using the RTS

  16. No bother at all. Yes the guys that are there at training all have CDLs. 4-6 weeks is a lot. Im in my 4th week now training for Community Coach. But shortline usually pulls out there drivers between 3rd and 4th weeks depending on how well you handle the bus. You being a driver should have no issues.

  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. Saw 5999 sitting in the yard on Doremus (I spelled it wrong I think) while I was training.
  20. 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
  21. 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
