does anyone know how much bus operators make in this position? i heard we dont get raises and we stick to 20hr because were under anothee contract

six year wait? but then why are you waiting for 6601?

matt did you take the nypd exam 7323?

This is the email i got back from them and the question i asked with the date, so highly unlikely they started it in 2 days after i emailed them ???? For Conductor, Exam # 6601: if you kept a record of answers, you will be able to calculate your score by checking the answer key, Click on the link and it will take you to the website for the proposed answer keys: http://web.mta.info/nyct/hr/proposed_answerkey.htm Your official score will be mailed to you when the list is established in about a year to 18 months. -----Original Message----- From: t y [mailto:-------------@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2017 3:14 PM To: Exams Unit Subject: 6601 any update on conductor exam 6601?

i dont think they can just change their mind, they will have a major law suit if they extended it and dont call from it. my opinion is that maybe the promos started bitching so they going to call from promo list and then once they are finished with that they will call again for 8094 until feb 18'. this is just assumptions.

im confused... wasnt 8094 extended until feb 18', meaning even if they are done calling promo we will still have to wait until that date. correct me if im wrong.

wow. well said subway guy.

yeah, and people who scored 85 are getting called from 8094. were screwed guys, we payed MTA a good change of money to hire of 8094. 45,000 x $65 (application fee) = $2,925,000 YOURE WELCOME MTA

hey everyone who took the 6601, As per the exams unit i emailed yesterday, I received this reply; "Yes, the old conductor exam was extended. Your official results and list number for the Conductor, Exam # 6601 will be mailed to you when the list is established. Given the large number of participants (45,000), it may take a year or two."

just sent an email out, will update everyone with what they say once i get a reply.

when was it that you called and they said they will establish the list in a year?

yeah. i feel like all of the people who took 6601, just received a big L.

exactly from reading the 8094 thread, they are having mixed classes..hopeful thinking. i dont get why they keep extending the list, its ming boggling.

unless they extend the list again.

yeah....*sigh*

i dont necessarily think they will finish the complete list but they will call from 8094 until Feb of 2018 and then im assuming they will call from promo and then 6601. this is all my educated guess from what i been reading on past posts. ill make a crazy assumption and this is just me hoping for the best, maybe they will call both promo and 8094 the same time and they will both expire feb of 2018 and then maybe call us after, just me trying to give myself some hope and the rest of us lol, but just thinking out loud. if anyone else with more experience, please add your 2 cents.

hey everyone who took 6601, i hate being the bearer of bad news but if anyone here had any hopes that the list will come out shortly or that we were going to be called in a year or 2, dont hold your breath.. im so utterly disappointed ... but congrats to 8094 for their list being extended once again, here is a original quote from the chief, "Whereas a restriction against the filling of vacancies due to budgetary constraints has limited the number of Conductors the New York City Transit Authority has been able to appoint, on Feb. 1, 2017, the duration of the existing list for this title, based on Exam No. 8094, was extended to February 16, 2018. The test was given on Dec. 6, 2008 and the resulting list established in May 2011."

its been almost close to a year, how come no list has been established yet =(

i want to get cdl certified but there is two types of cdl licenses, can anyone tell me which cdl is needed to operate buses in the MTA..

does anyone remember if this exam required to be nyc resident? i wish i had the noe for this exam, does anyone have that also ?

After trying to figure out what the document REDVIPER90 linked us, i was able to obtain the following information for conductors; 1) "The 2017 increase is mainly the result of additional coverage required to meet intensified track repair work at NYCT and training of locomotive engineers and conductors at MNR. In later Plan years, across the Agencies, year-over-year changes are modest and consistent with wage growth assumptions and changes in operational requirements. " 2) Concrete Safety Enhancements that promote safe operations and safe work practices included: "Continuing Locomotive Engineer, Conductor, Rail Traffic Controller, and Yardmaster rightsizing initiatives to appropriately balance/limit fatigue risk, shift coverage, and overtime use." 3) Proposed Additional Investments: "Train and Engine (T&E) Block Training Extension from 3 to 5 Days - block Training is the period of time during the year when the approximately 1,400 Metro-North Engineer and Conductor (T&E) crew members fulfill their periodic training requirements. It takes a full year to process these employees through their annual block training exercise. This two day extension, which is being instituted to more efficiently train the crews on new state and federally mandated topics as well as PTC, will enable Metro-North to more effectively cover the cost for coverage of service while employees are completing this additional training." 4) "Human Resources continues its aggressive hiring efforts to fill vacancies, especially for critical, must-fill maintenance positions in all areas and crafts. Human Resources is also working closely with Transportation to right-size the Locomotive Engineer, Conductor, Yardmaster and Rail Traffic Controller ranks." 5) "Provide for a more efficient process for scheduling mandatory train engineer and conductor training, enabling MNR to provide better service coverage utilizing straight-time rather than overtime."

I've told him this numerous times, guy never listens. let him live in this false reality in his head..

ren your assumptions never fail to surprise me . smh,

moderator to the rescue!!! thank you!!

you need to stop giving out wrong information, you clearly are trying to make yourself feel better and give yourself false hopes into being called. let the list come out, for gods sake and then you will know better! STOP GIVING OUT FALSE INFORMATION
