Brakeman

They test your urine for sugar (diabetes) and protein (kidney problems) by using test strips that they dip in urine sample.

Do you have Ms Murray as your TSS?

When the system says "not currently on a outstanding certification" it means the list has been returned to DCAS because they stopped hiring for the moment, when hiring resumes, they return the list to transit, and then you will be on a outstanding certification again! WHEW!!!

3 to 11 is usually just for 1 day for fire school

There are a few, your TSS will let you know which ones, The rulebook is copyright 2003 and the MTA has not updated it.. You will soon learn that the most consistent thing about the MTA is inconsistency!

They usually let you park in the train yards, at least in the A division.

Be carefull of the rule book, some of the signals in there are wrong!

There will be about 20 questions on signal test, but you don't know which ones, so you have to know them all! That includes lighted signals radio codes, signs and markings etc..

109 signals

Mon thru Friday only, while in training

The hours are: 7am-3pm most days 9am-5pm some days ( a few) 1 day 3pm to 11pm

The starting rate is $31.87 hourly.

If you fail the signal test the first time you're out! If you pass it the first time, you will have to pass it a second time in order to keep your job!

Also be sure you are in good enough shape to be able to climb on to a subway car from the track bed! One person had to leave their class because they weren't able to do it. MTA is allowing them to go to the gym and come back for the July class, Ta18 is the name of one class section in the B division.
