Blood work less than 6 months old and a letter from your doctor that you are fit to be a bus driver Thanks and i said no...

He got into the Nov. 4th class...was sworn in today

Husband went down for medical today...was put on hold due to diabetes and wanting a copy of stress test. He got the papers filed out by the doctors and copies of tests requested within the correct dates (labs no more than 6 months). What is the process for going back with info? Do you start from the beginning (eye, ear test, etc.) or go right to medical for the mta docs to review test results and then go forward from there.

My list number is 163x...I was called back in March to take boss exam for b/o position then drug tested in May and June then medical and hired in July for the July 15th class...I just hit my 3 month Mark as a bus operator and yesterday I got a letter to report next week for drug test for conductors position Congratulations..welcome to the family lol

Just got a letter to do pre employment for the conductors position...don't they know I have been a b/o for 3 months already lol

That's strange they did a pre road test day for us in the July 15th class

Hubby finally got his letter to go down for drug test this coming Thursday...hopefully the process won't be too much longer to get him sworn in and in training

everything moving forward is at Zerega...you will do RTS training day 8, 9 & 10...easy days. I went to S.I. to do line training right after the 2 HR days. They pulled me out of line training to go to do a pre-road day at zerega and then again road test at zerega. My husband has not started any pre employment yet...he is still waiting for the letter to go for drug test. I got my first pay check on 8/1 (I started 7/15) so right after your first 2 weeks you should get paid. did you actually choose your depot yet officially (I think they do that on one of the HR Days). My class didn't choose - we were supposed to but since we were all forced to staten island they just sent us all to staten island the next day (Day 15). staten island does things a little differently then the other boroughs. In Staten Island we go to all the depots to learn all the local lines. Our line training was a month long then another week of express training on the MCI buses and new prevost buses with bklyn battery tunnel training and jersey (lincoln tunnel training) THEN after all that we were able to pick our depots (or be placed depending on seniority).

Yes, I took my road test in Aug. while I was in Line Training. (that will start for you in 6 days - people still have to finish day 8, 9, 10 and then you will have 2 HR days, after that line training starts) I finished all my line training and express training the first week of Sept. Our class graduated on Aug. 28th. We picked out depots while in express training and started on our own on Sept. 8th I have been working like crazy - I am on the extra list at Castleton. I am a PM report which means I report any time between 2pm - 5pm. Any questions you have just send them on over...I will try to answer you right away. What borough/depot are you hoping to get in?

Congratulations...welcome to the club!

that would be great if they would call him soon - he hasn't even done his first drug test yet - he's still waiting for that letter - He only took the BOSS survey. Hopefully with you going for your 3rd drug test means that they are starting the hiring process again. In the meantime, my husband has applied to take the next Bus Operator exam #4600 - just to be sure he's not missing an opportunity to get a job

I heard the same thing...my husband is 433x on the list and took the BOSS survey on june 12. He has been waiting for the letter to go for drug test but hasn't gotten anything so when he called on friday was told that they stopped hiring right now.

good luck - get plenty of rest

i started my line training out of Castleton in S.I. although tomorrow (monday 8/5) i am going for my pre-road training

I am one of the people who went to staten island but in my case I went there willingly...put the transfer in for S.I. on day 1 (orientation) so when we found out we were going, I was THRILLED!! to say the least - 25 of us went in total...only 5 of us wanted to be there. Who's your friend? And was he in the 7/15 class? my husband is 433x - he took the BOSS survey June 12th - he is just waiting for them to call him for the drug test and get the process rolling. I hope they are going to exhaust exam 8094 and all those that took the survey to become B/o so he has a shot of getting in.
