Express Bus Operator

Thats why i said Reasonable. Of course if your doing 60 on a 35mph zone thats no excuse, but light traffic stop like tints, broken tail lights, etc. Im going on based on past experience riding with a mta employee being pulled over a few times Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

When we officially become part of mta, Police tickets wont exist like that if you get pulled over unless its parking. Once you show your Bus ID pass they let you go. But you have to be reasonable and not cocky. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

@Mtahopeful1 If you dont mind when did you take the exam "as in saturday or sunday am or pm". And how many question(s) did you get wrong. If you like you can PM. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I believe you have to go there with your answer record sheet. They were a specific date and time I believe. But try calling the HQ and see what they say. "Anyone wants jump in about this?" Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

It seems like people always wants to make a thread be all negative when everyone is trying to get to the right place. I wont be sharing anymore information nor suggestion on the forum. Good luck and see some of you on the other side. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Are you kidding me Young! For you to say such negative comment on a thread which we all are being helpful to EACH other with information. Now you took this way over your head especially on forum where everyone shares information. P.S. hoping me to not make it to mta is pure hate and I would never wish anyone that especially when it comes to employment! Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Hey whats up folks? Just wanted to update a few informaton. If you are still stuck on how to figure out your currently score. Here's a little example on how to figure out what you scored. Remember, the Final Answer key has not been release, MTA may drop some questions which may change your current score. -If you got 45 questions correct, then 45 divided by 60 equals 0.75. Turn this decimal to a percent and you get 75%. -If you got 48 questions correct, then 48 divided by 60 equals 0.8. Turn this decimal to a percent - 80%. -If you got 54 questions correct, then 54 divided by 60 equals 0.9. Turn this decimal to a percent - 90%. So remember Score may change depending if MTA does drop any question(s) on the exam. A Boss Exam will be giving out in order to receive your actual List number. Also Those who are interesting about how the BOSS exam works, Please PM me and I will give you a few information regarding a Prep class that may take place in March.

Thats facts! Even if you know how to drive a bus, you play dumb and act like you dont know and just follow his/her instruction.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2Good Morning Everyone!Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I've found a few driving school my self for the same packaging offers. Trucks and bus might have different turn points. The good thing is you have some sort of experience driving a big vehicle.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 Yeah theres plenty auto school that offers commercial driving lessons. Just google/Bing in your local area. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Thats the original. Learn that first school bus and the mta bys driving skills is different especially on left and right turns. MTA will teach you how to turn with their bus. The school bus is standard learning tool especially for dmv. If you wait for mta instead than mta will let you drive that bus to the road test. But you just have to worry about that DMV instructor examiner Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah fresh means no work experience with bus or truck company. Remember they are expecting for you to know how to handle a bus. All they doing now is just training you to drive the mta way. DMV has their way on the road vs MTA way. Do you remember when first got behind the wheels when you didnt know how to drive a car yet? So imagine a bus now if you havent actually driven one. My dad said if you have your license already and you qualify on day 7 or 10, You are all set and have no worries. But if you qualify day 7 - 10 and you have tge cdl permit still, Now you have to worry about thst DMV instructor. And if any reason that dmv instructor screw you over because something he/she didnt like during the test, its over and mta will not wait for a retake.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 Not sure but i doubt that will dq you. I think they focus also on points on your license. but call hr and find out, dont give your name though..lolSent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Guys I just got my cdl permit too. But no need to wait for mta, get the license on your own. Thats what im doing plus more practice the more comfortable you will be when mta calls you. Remember with the Permit if you qualify on day 7 with MTA, If you still have a permit they will send you to dmv to take the dnv road test. And if you fail the dmv road test on mta watch, you will be let go.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 I know that for sure because both my family members is a bus operator for mta for 13 years now.Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

You have to wait till they send you a notice. Based on exam 2613, They took it last year in June. So lets see. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Alot last exam 2613 maybe 50-60k people took the exam and 3603 only passed I believe. So this list might be a long one for four years Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Of course its in. The passing score is 70%. If everything goes well and you pass the Boss exam depending how many people make the final list, You will be call faster than someone whos in the 70-80. So higher score means lower list number. But everyone will be call if you pass its just depends how many actually pass. So just imagine 10,000 people makes the final list. It just mean 10,000 potential canidates. Some wont qualify because they wont have the proper license , criminal records, bad driving records, etc. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah they same but two thing is different. 1. Your retirement penstion is different TA is covered by the city of ny. 2. You are consider a Civil Worker. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah but im not really to worried bout 3101 since my ranfom list for them in the 8ks. Plus i rather 4600 over 3101 due to the fact 4600 is TA which is the agency you rather be in. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah i took it for 3101 Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I think so, it was the question about the bus leaving at a stop and reaching at this stop at what time...i think so. Im trying to remember what it was. But i answered it D and it was wrong Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
