    Hi everyone! My aunt is from this exam with a list # of 12743. She received an email last August about going in, but didn't act on it. Is there any way to get put back on the list or find out more information on how to proceed? Thanks in advanced!

    I've heard next class Sept. 10th has 18 total. 12 OA and 6 TA

    Yeah, for sure. Although, I don't think recognizing the operator is an issue. The real issue is when operators ask for the fare and they drive the bus at the same time every day. It's a boiling pot for assaults. Fare evading becomes a habit when there's no repercussions. It'll be interesting when the farebox is out the door and (if it happens) all door boarding is a thing.

    Scary. That same passenger could've broken the operator rather than the window. I'm an operator, and I don't say anything when they ask for a ride. I've been assaulted for it before, it's just not worth it. Especially on local lines, and if you drive the same run everyday.

    Hi fellow brothers and sisters!! A little off topic.. but im studying for the upcoming OA SLD. The study material I currently have seems to be out of date.. or just lacking. If anyone is willing to help a fellow coworker out, that would be much appreciated Can PM some stuff, or let me know how else I can receive them - TIA!! Also, best of luck to you all and congrats to all who made it.

    From my personal experience, even if you tap the accelerator, there is split second or two, where you can react quickly to hitting the brakes (hearing the air brakes release) Hell, maybe hit the brakes after hitting the forklift instead of pulling out? Something doesn't add up to me. As well, my habit is to hold down the brakes while I release the parking brakes. Especially if you're on some sort of downhill grade.

    If you look closer at the video, he sets the parking brake around the 10-11 second mark. The initial crash happens shortly after he got back into the seat and he released the parking brake

    People with Medicare cards, access-a-ride and senior citizen metrocards are able to ride them too! My grandma does it all the time. Flashes her senior citizen metrocard and hops on.

    I'll probably have a better chance with the B62 since it's more frequent on sat nights. From 125th and Amsterdam, 3 PM. School is out. What's faster to 66th and Broadway? M104 or M11

    Not sure if this has been answered yet. But this is the supplement train shuttle for the 1 train between 181-191. Elevators at 191 st nicholas are being worked on

    Interesting, out of all the redesigns, Queens would definitely be most needed.

    Taken from MTA.info 'Until further notice Q113 LTD and Q114 LTD buses are rerouted from Liberty Av at 160 St in both directions due to construction - No stops are missed Various Queens local and select buses are running with delays in both directions because of traffic in Jamaica. See mta.info'

    Confirmed. B48, B57 and B60 are scheduled on Grand Ave's pick.

    So he was suppose to leave at 9:40 but left at 9:41 instead. What's the issue again? I'm also confused lol Unless he left earlier on previous times

    I've seen 2 myself as well over at MTV. M104 and M96. both hawks. I believe the M2 hawk has it as well.

    Just drove 4674 today. Was on the M4 today and had a few tourist stuck at the MET without a metrocard. I asked if they had a credit card, and it all worked out. Tap system is very instantaneous, no delay, very fast and responsive. I believe 4012 has OMNY still on it as well, just not working(?).

    I've seen all the M4/M98 buses deadhead using Henry Hudson Pkwy in the mornings to get to cabrini via cloisters for morning service. Sometimes the M5s for the quick exit to W178 at GW.

    Thank you for your photo. It makes me absolutely sad inside as I love these buses. As an operator over at MHV, I would always prefer a 6 series bus over a 3 series just because of how good of a drive theyre. Most of those buses run pretty damn good still. But it was a day we all knew it was going to happen soon.

    Photo of 6375 leaving MHV today. Feel a little sad.

    Not sure if artics can be put on the current M10 route, due to the terminal at 159. The buses make a U-turn for their southbound trip coming from north. Itll be pretty tight turn. I agree with you on the M104 terminal. At times, that 41st block is jammed up with cars because they couldn't turn right on 42nd or for whatever other reason.

    3939 bus has the announcements turned on. It's on M10 right now. Announcements are pretty spot on. Only front screen works, rear is blank. Only grip I have about it is that it says 'underscore' inbetween transfer buses.
