About todays rules ur uncle is correct look at those cameras they say the cameras are there to protect us bullshit the first thing transit does when they want to get u in trouble is pull the cameras and use what ever they can get from it against u .. they have all this crazy rules and things are tuff but i guess i should say things are like this bc of all the old drivers they were probably doin so many f**k ups that transit had to get tuff i guess .. but yet if u report somethin or tell transit about a situation that happem in ur bus that u felt uncomfortable with they dont even bother to investigate or look at the cameras is like there only there for there benefit when they need to proof somethin Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

ur correct andima try and hang on but listen if im payin union dudes someone should be able to represent me to help me bc thats what im payin for instead they just back up and keave u alone ... as i explain my situation just bc the complaint came from a wheel chair customer there tryn extend me 6 more months in probation and they sayin if im bit happy with that then my other option is to leave the job... and honestly all i did was that i loaded the people in the bus first and then loaded the wheel chair so i didnt have to wry about the people walkin in on me while im tryna tied my wheelchair and so the wheel chair customer says that they are priority and that i had to get her in the bus first abd i explain to her why i did it that way and she said that the law says there first and i tried speakin to her and apologizin and she still made the complain and transit is makin a big deal about nothin bc ok they have priority but in the end thats nothin is not like i crash or anyone felt or anythin like that but they have they way of doin things and since im on probation and they can basically do what ever they want with u while ur on probation i guess thats why they want to give me that hard hit ..and i really woukd want to have to work u der this pressure for an extra 6 months on top of the 7 i have left is like startin all over basically which sucks ... every driver in long time says that they are makin things harder and harder every day and not tryna work to help anyone bc so much people want the job..

The management is very tuff on u they want to put too much pressure on you instead of makin u feel comfortable while ur on probation.. so is like they make u spend ur day out there under pressure scare to not have anythin happen bc they will give u a hard hit for any little thing.. and the union atleast the union at the depot dont ever do anythin all they say is well we cant do much since ur still on probation .. is just alot of stress is defenitly a good job but alot of stress.. if ur drivin and someone falls in ur bus that is considered and incident and they want to extend u for that and if u have accidents and stuff they want to extend you .. is like in transits view the never employee is always wrong they never wantto understand u .. like one of the dispatchers told me they just see u as one more number and they dont care much bc they know if is not u then theres thousands of more people behind waitin for the job...now i been on for 5 months havent had any accidents or incidents i did have customer complaint from a wheel chair customer nothin major honestly speakin and transit is makin a big deal about that to the point that i go to work stress every day without me actually doin anythin to no one just bc the customer is always right especially with the disable people u look at them and they want to say u looked at them wrong and transit wants to gibe u a hard time.. defenitly give it a shot but just know is not like what everyone thinks it is when i did the process i though this was alot better and easier and is not it is avery stressful job u dont know who is who and there is always someone watchin u ... me personally i dont feel comfortable workin under so much pressure bc we are all human and we all make mistakes and one little mistake this people will make a huge situation about .. is like they not there to work with u instead they are there to work against u thats how i feel..

We just have to do the right thing and be EXTRA careful all city jobs have a probationary period ... just a little hard knowin u have that pressure there but best of luck to all of us goin threw the probation now.. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

Defenitly correct and also remember announce stop signs and two hands always never know when that undercover ride comes along ... Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

I guess the hardest part is hearing everyone tell u to be careful and stuff they probably make it sound harder than it actually is .. i mean i hear most people make the probation so if thats the case is not so hard ? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

Oh ok yea everyone tells me the se thing drive slowly and be careful especially threw probation that camera tickets can hurt u and stuff like they tell me dont rush and be careful safety above everything ... are u still on probation urself ? If so how is it goin for u so far? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

Anyone in probation that can give good feedback... i just started line trainin and can defenitly use any advice ... as far as probation i ask bc it seems as if thats somethin tuff atleast everyone at my depot makes it sound like is hard anyone has anything they can share about that ? Thanks ahead Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

from my personal experience I can say is nothing to be so worry about just listen to the instructor and do everything that they ask of you and you will be fine remember always cover your right side and keep ur four feet distance on the right and use your reference and pivot points and you will do just fine... good luck
