I'm done with this forum. Don't ask why? I'm out. Good luck to all.

Ok

Lol. I'm a lil upset right now with all these MTA groupies on this forum. I only thought this forum was for MTA employees but I was wrong. They were coming hard at me on another thread so I'm staying away from sensitive threads like that and maybe this whole forum all together. Lol

Hey congrats gotti109. I told u bro that u could do it. RTS training is when they take all of the people that made it on day 7 and everyone test drives the RTS for like 15to20 minutes. Then u wait for the ones that make it on day 10 to hop on the RTS and take there turns driving it. So by next week you'll be going back to zerega for GI (General Information) day and that's where the union comes and talks to the class and some health insurance people as well. The end of that day you get to pick your depots for your line training. Congrats once again bud!

Thanks and i said no... @Flowerpower: I don't blame you. What did u do just call or u had to go in person to 180? I graduate on the 6th of November. So I'll be saying NO as we'll cause I made it this far in the B/O system.

Congrats to ur husband. Have u made ur mind up about the other offer MTA made u yet? When they send for me I'm gonna straight up say "NO". Lol

Cool. Well good luck with ur training...

@gotti109: How did orientation go today? Who was ur orientation instructor?

@gotti109: I personally take the q44 cause I live right over the bridge. But like RTS4Life said only in the streets r u allowed to park. You gonna get ur bus pass tomorrow and the location to where u report for ur 7 to 10 days training u never know it could be at zerega.. Good Luck once again on the rest of ur journey. Breathe and like the ROCK says FOCUS... LOL!

Oh u MTA BUS then yea ur only allowed on buses. I believe OA gets the same treatment as TA. Also u can ride the express buses but I think TA and OA is not allowed. Lol. O well u ain't gonna be spending no more money on buses as long as u keep hold on that pass. Lol

@gotti 109: No doubt! I forgot to tell u that u could also ride the subway with that pass. Any questions u have I'll be more than glad to help during ur training. Do ur best not to hit the curbs and don't forget to breathe while ur behind the wheel. I'm serious bro breathe.

Hey people I'm finally an official MTA employee cause I passed my DMV road test today. THANK GOD! Now I just gotta keep my nose clean for a year and I'll be good. I'd like to thank everyone on this forum especially the veteran B/O's that shared there knowledge with me and others that are looking to become city B/O's. Thank you!!!

Yea that's not a bad idea but I just hand wash my gear every night and hang it to dry. Lol

Nope. One driver told me we'll get it like in a month or 2 and when we do get it most of it ain't the size u were actually measured 4. Smh!

@RTS4life: Thank You! @gotti109: Lol I know right. There communications r no good at all between depots. @Flowerpower: That is strange cause they told us that each one of us will get a pre road test regardless if u qualified on day 7/9/10. What's funny is they said the same thing about the simulator and we only used that room to get fitted for our uniforms. Lol.

I went to zerega today for nothing. I guess they don't do pre road test anymore cause they send me right back to the depot I'm doing line training at. I got a big day tomorrow with DMV and that's my road test at zerega. I'm ready to go.

Thanks for the luck wishes. I'm getting my line training in Casey Stengel in Flushing Queens. All of the operators there are very nice and very informative about the job. I hope I get to stay there and not transfer or sent any where after my graduation. I'm very blessed to be where I'am right now and humble as well. Thank GOD!

My 3rd day of line training was pretty interesting cause I had not 1 but 2 W/chair passengers on an Orion. The 1st was going east bound and the 2nd was going west bound. Remember the Orion W/chair system is just like the RTS from the back door. I wish I had the hybrid but it was very easy to do cause my training kicked in right away and my B/O was very helpful as well. Thank GOD. Tomorrow I go to zerega for pre road test and Thursday is my day with the DMV for the road test which I'm pretty ready for.

Yes u do have to buy the tie too. I got a black tie at TJ Max for like $10 bucks. Those shoes will do just fine.Remember this is ur daily outfit everyday starting from orientation till u graduate and get ur badge and W/C key.

Hey thanks a lot.

Cool, thanks for ur reply Young! I'm just starting with the MTA as B/O so I'm just asking for my brother to keep em in touch with what's going on and giving him the info on how long it might take. I'm just letting em know to keep his job until the ball starts rolling for him. It took me nearly 5 yrs to get where I am and I'm very happy and humble about it. Thank GOD!

Well I was wrong about today cause it was GI which is (general information day). I did say that today was graduation day but found out it was not. They told us that graduation is after we r done with line training and then we'll be on our own. We got our picks today and I gotta say I got what I wanted which was Queens but not the depot I wanted. They told 14 of us to report to Queens Village. I don't mind cause at least I'm in my borough and so is the 4 other people that signed the Queens transfer paper in day 1 orientation. Thank GOD! So the ball is starting to roll a lil quickly now and I'm well prepared. I'm still studying for my DMV road exam and keeping my memory fresh with the pre trip and my ALSAPS (brake tests).
