Any info on driver schedules?

Do you get a set start time or does it change / rotate?

How many hours in a typical shift?

What about breaks, bathroom, meal etc?

I read one thread that said it was a 20 minute meal break. And that doesn't consider where you can get food etc. They suggested carrying your own food because of the unknown's of what's available at break time / location.

I've seen several news stories about drivers being attacked.

I imagine it's more common than reported on the news.

I work for the TA as bus operator ill try to answer,

Set shift? Don't think about that till after your first year, you will have to call your depot everyday after 3pm to find your assignment.

Typical shift is anywhere from 8 hours to over 14 hours including swing time (swing time is your break for which you get anywhere from30 min to 6 hours )

Be prepared for the first turn on day 5 it will be a lot of fun is all I will say

Can someone tell me why I seen 2 RTS on the island today running the s89. I couldn't believe it. No pics but I seen one on Richmond ave the other on forest hill

Would laugh it was Dave, he's a mess

I heard on Friday 2 people got into accidents in line training, one person didn't keep enough right sidd spacing and took off a car door that popped open, didn't find out what the 2nd accident was

I made it today, boy was I sweating in the drivers seat today, cany belive I DID it .

My bus was last in zerega today so my superintendent got assignment sheet for tommorow that covers all those who need more training

I'm going to day 9 as well, don't feel bad. my bus was last to finish the day only 17 out of 51 qualified today

Flower, bring your a game tommorow, I got unsatisfactory day 5 and 6 for minor.errors. my trainer told me ace tommorow I still got a chance with him .

Don't sweat it, I failed and one other on my bus failed today as well, he said if we can do well tomm we still have a.shot.for day 7

What is the proper way to setup the right side mirror. I know I want to see the tire, some people say put a bottle next to it to help position it. But do Iwwant the rear tire on the left side top of the mirror or on the left side bottom of mirror?

That day 7 is coming quick guys, stay focused ! i don't think I'm ready for the city on Monday, but I think the el pilliars help prepare for tight manuevers

Well the el pillars tommorow, mounted a curb on day 3 today , still got satisfactory, so I'm hoping I have a shot on day 7. It's not as easy as I thought. Just when I think I'm getting comfortable BAM error.
