I think there’s only 2 list #’s left on the old list, so either they establish ours or stop hiring 🤷🏻‍♂️ but then again, I don’t really know anything so don’t take my word for it lol

I heard this too, from a big shot boss that won't be named.. but I'll believe it when I see it.

Everyone who says they have llevl says he's absolutely nuts and rushes everyone through turns lol

Figured I'd let you guys know about my Supt's as well. I had Quarless for the first 7 days, he's a great guy, and everything he taught me is exactly why I qualified. I hope to see him again one day to thank him in uniform. For days 8-9 I had Supt. Searight and Fallon (don't know why we had 2, but I think Fallon was just observing) Searight is a sweetheart, though she didn't teach much since I performed well on days 8 and 9... Fallon however is brilliant. She can teach you exactly what to do from sitting all the way in the back of the bus. She's a seasoned veteran on this job and it shows. Nothing against Quarless but I wish I had Fallon for the first 7 days. Looking forward to hear who gets who tomorrow. Fallon was telling me she's going on vacation this week so I doubt anyone will be getting her.

Yeah a lot of people get turned away because they don't have permits, they have too many points, they don't pass the medical, criminal convictions, etc... The list moves relatively quick.

Mine and Invzo's class had list numbers ranging from 140-300+ if that helps anyone...

yes a good amount, I heard almost half of us are going to day 10. Day 10, from what I've been told, goes as follows: You wait in the lunch room at Zerega and one by one you'll go on the bus for your final qualification road test with 2 superintendents. If you pass, then you'll finish up the article 19a paperwork, and start training on different buses, such as the new Nova, New Flyer, and RTS. If you fail, you'll be taken upstairs to resign. 1 benefit to day 10 is it's right by zerega... no Manhattan to deal with!

So if you're going into the 10 day training LISTEN UP! Day 7 being the "qualifying day" is kinda BS. You MUST do good on day 6, to be able to qualify on day 7. But here's the thing... Day 6 is a route in downtown Manhattan (pedestrians, bicycles, cab drivers, etc...) and day 7 is nearby the depot, unless your depot is in Manhattan, then it's probably in the Bronx or queens. Day 7 is a route in a quiet area, MUCH easier than day 6. So in reality, Day 6 is the REAL qualifying day. If you can drive well in Manhattan on day 6 then you will breeze by day 7... Just an FYI. I too qualified today, day 9.... Good luck to those starting next week.

Every depot in brooklyn manhattan and the bronx are twu 100. Queens and Staten Island are ATU

Day 6 was in downtown Manhattan. It's the first of 2 qualifying days needed to qualify on day 7. We also went over post trip inspections.

Day 5 was in uptown Manhattan, nothing new, just driving defensively with twice as many bikes and pedestrians on the road.

You'll pay for your dmv road test while in training. You then give them the receipt and they'll schedule your road test near Zerega. But yes, you'll take the dmv road test after you qualify the 10- day training. And just an FYI, it's a 10 day training program with chances to qualify on days 7, 9, or 10, depending on how well you do.

Honestly not bad... My group got a great Supt. so if we mess it up it's on us lol. I think we have a chance at day 7 though. We'll see how much of a wake up call manhattan is.

What have you been doing since you qualified then?

anyone screw up on day 9 (minor screw up) and still pass?
