Thanks man.  Doesn’t the ticket stay on your abstract for the rest of the calendar year after 3 years tho. Like let’s say u get a ticket September 5 2010. Doesn’t it stay on your abstract until Jan 1 2014?  The 3 years from sept but then it stays on the rest of the calendar year.  Is this true?

It will show on your abstract from the date of th conviction up to 3 years. However, transit will count from the date of the offense not the conviction. I’m an example of this situation. I had a  cellphone ticket issued on 5/16/14. I had my appointment letter for 3/6/17. Since the ticket was pending they told me to call them back after ticket is solve and proof from DMV, I got convicted on 6/10/17. I went back and restored my name on the list.. and here I am. 5 months on the job. The ticket shows on my abstract and also shows 5 points but it also shows the date of issuing. As long the issuing date is older than 3 year it’s ok. Just make sure you paid them, keep the receipt and have no pending tickets or moving violation.

I could say Manhattan are the easy depots when it come to lines, you will be driving straight up and down or crosstown. Not much of right or left turns. BUT is not easy dealing with traffic, bikes and yellow cabs.. it’s really challenge out there need to have your eyes open and follow what zerega told us to do in order to keep our selfs on the job.

Ok that’s exactly the way I was going to come in cause I don’t know the MTA way so I’ll be a newbie. I’m going to see if I can stay in the Bronx at the gunhill depo 

Bronx depot are full.. most likely you will be going to manhathan (Tuskegee or Manhattanville) if not you will be force to go Staten Island, all other depots are full at the moment. We picked last Monday. And that’s what they had.

Thanks. But it’s  the frustration that is burning my inside... I did all my turns as I should.. and at the end she tells me she pull the brakes on me. ...uff.. but I’ll keep my mind positive and continue with the process..

Today was the worst day ever... day 6 I olmost run a red light, I slammed the brakes but supt Gray states she did TB brakes.. I missed up day 6 and now I’m on the run for 8-9.. really sucks and I’m upset with my self.

Yup... I didn’t stop cuz a big load and then at the corner made the stop to switch turns... I drove from 6:00 to like 7:10...

i did very good in day 4.. no comments and everything was satisfied. I was like yeaaaah!

If that was your bus, You was on Ralph Avenue and made a right turn at the light onto Avenue N and was trying to pull in the first bus stop and continued to the next one but stop at the corner before the next bus stop, that when I  passed by and went around to service the bus stop.

I had a training bus in front of me this morning on the B41 route during rush hour time on Avenue N. Looks like the Supt had the trainee pull over to the right just so I can pass by and pick up the heavy  load at The bus stop.

That was me I believe, we were serving  bus stop but ppl don't read it's a training bus and kept trying to enter as I open doors lol. So she was let this bus pick them up..it was around 6:40 or something?

Day 4, we did pillar turns.. not bad.. need to drive more caution when near pedestrian .. slow down when potential hazards are around. I'm looking to qualify day 7.. let's c how it goes.

Ok, I understand. When I pulled up my abstract, the ticket does not show up. Will they see it still? And as far as the suspension, there is no way around that? It wasnt suspended for driving reasons, my friend missed his court date and thats why it was suspended.

Cellphone ticket is 5 points that will turn you away automatically. If the ticket is pending they won't be able to see it but what you think is going to happen when they find out you lied?.. trust me they will find out. about your friend they don't count suspension no more. They look at points, accidents and revocations.
