wow i didnt even hear about that, yes completely unfair, i think anyone could of got a religious exemption of some sort to do a make up test and study and gain a advantage for sure, but on the other side does anyone know how many people were able to take this makeup test? it has to be a super small number i hope.
Step one after becoming dispatch is to find a way to remove these people that run the test unit
You can say it was running if you want, but it was making all local stops hence it's running as a regular 44
Even says it on the MTA website if you want to look
"
All borough limited buses are making local stops in both directions because of inclement weather. "
This happens every year.
Not in SI, maybe they put up the wrong signs by accident but all limiteds were instructed to make all local stops (minus the 93 and 89 of course) from at least 0430hrs and still on going.
I know it's not a reality but I thought a few times what if all NYC residents get taxed to hell for transportation but in return NYCTA bus/subways are free for everyone.
Not sure what tax rate would be needed lol
While I know you don't have to be zoned for highschool's anymore I don't think they should be letting people go to different boroughs just for a public school and the overall effect on a teenagers rest and sleep scheduling and overall mental health adding in 2 hours travel each way.
But that's just my own opinion.
And what if there's a big emergency would anyone want their kids stranded somewhere over a bridge away
That won't save anything besides more weight being hauled around on the money truck.
Fareboxes need to get probed regardless of if coins are in it or not. It's how it reads the MetroCard info as well. And sucking out the coins even on a fully loaded farebox is maybe 30sec more maximum over a empty one.
Yeah that's a little crazy coins aren't any slower than the idiots that see the bus coming for blocks than decide to wait at the farebox while they rifle through their stuff looking for the card.
Yes you can, not sure why it was never widely known or advertised. It will give you the red light and say $3.75 unpaid or whatever.
But yes you can just pay the difference the card reads just fine and we know it's a local unlimited because of it, but it will beep as unpaid because it is.
No coins accepted is what can't happen yet, people that purchase unlimited local cards will lose the ability to pay the cash difference after the swipe.
That can't happen until the farebox is fully eliminated, even if it wanted express bus card only than alot of people will lose the benefit of either having unlimited local card and paying cash difference or flat our change in general, what are they going to do block off the change area?
They do have other duties as well, random checks of HVAC temps, bells and lighting, even reading lights on express buses sometimes, As well as other tasks.
Not sure if there civil service though as they are on the OA side.
