normally when coming straight to SI YOU you have to do line Training out of each depot plus do express training with union. Or maybe because you're a transfer they will put in depot available and you just do line Training there until you complete all lines for that depot. It could be either or.
At first I was little nervous but this week I had three runs into city and I loved it. It's not so bad at night the only thing I have to get used to is getting to know all the stops. Oh and I love the new Prevost coach bus.
Have to tell you I wanted Castleton too. But being at Yukon for the last 3 weeks I like it and happy I'm there!! Good luck to all I'm loving the job!!!
Passed DMV today, wasn't hard at all and now tomorrow I start line training in Staten Island at Castleton depot. Good luck to all those that started this week and all those coming up. It was very stressful but today it was so rewarding today completing this last hurdle.
I have my permit. I contemplated a long time about getting it. I was very confident in my driving skills and ability to learn things very quickly from has on training. There are people with license going to day 10 and some that have failed in the past trying again. I took the chance to learn the MTA way and did great.
Not to sound cocky but I am confident that with this training with MTA the DMV is a breeze.
You get about 1 hour and 15 minutes each day of driving. You start driving day 2. There is 4 students per bus and it is and 8 hour day. Every Depot has different starting times starting at 6 am to 8:30 am
