Lawrence St

I have to disagree with you and agree more with Spectacular. Trying to FORCE people to use public transit by taking away travel lanes to include bike lanes is not the way to go about it AT ALL. Not to mention some of these bike lane designs are incredibly stupid (i.e Broadway in the Bronx north of 242nd St). The amount of times I've seen an accident happen from drivers coming off the Henry Hudson Pkwy and onto Broadway northbound with bikes flying down the path is unfortunately to many, there's a massive blindspot. But NYCDOT won't care unless the bikes complain. The simplest way to put it is bikes are at war with cars. And I side more with the cars, which is why I will never drive in Manhattan again. They are incredibly reckless and don't care about anyone other then themselves. There's this bike dude on TikTok who cuses out everyone along the bike lane in TSQ and it's annoying. Back to the topic at hand, congestion pricing will do nothing to help with the Holland tunnel congestion. Perhaps if we stopped wasting money on bike infrastructure we could have built a 3rd tube, but what do I know?

There was a NABI on the 772 tracking inside the port yesterday. Wonder what that was about.

Yes they do, they could have waited to install CBTC and send the base order there first.

Why is that? All of priorities are backwards right now. The can continue using the R46's until the option order comes in, send the first base order to Queens Blvd to bump out the R160's back to CI.

Keep inquiring, don't make the same mistake I did where I sent one email and never followed up.

Did you email the exam unit?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, they should have waited to activate/install CBTC on Queens Blvd, especially when the pandemic was happening and ridership was low. They wasted all this time to swap cars around just to swap them back when the R211's come in. It just isn't common sense.

Right? I was going to ask Via but he hasn't said anything in a while.

It's a survey exam...you don't have to study...

Speaking of that, anyone else find it backwards how they'd rather put artics on the Amazon routes instead of the s79 which has more ridership and can actually accommodate it?

Meadowlands dosent have a dumping facility?

They just unveiled the OMNY card. Design is bland though.

Whats with the former Wayne D4000's bathrooms being locked?

Don't get me started. The bikes are by far the worst, it's only a matter of time before drivers start suing the city for these ridiculous not needed bike + bus lanes.

Simple, they run everyone off the road and act like they own the streets.

Or...maybe we can not extend an already problematic and delayed line down 4th Av? If didn't go changing the entirety of the Broad St Line to only use one platform, the could've ran on the inner tracks.

Guess I just have to learn how to use them. The buses I've driven before have retarder activate as soon as your foot leaves the accelerator.

@46Dover what is with the brake on some of these NABI's? The brakes are horrible, you have to actually slam down on the pedal for it to notice...

@+Young+ Just spoke with the exam unit as well as someone else, apparently the operator shortage is VERY bad within MTA Bus right now, you may be called as soon as you finish the test (depending on your list number). I was told after you submit the responses, you will be given the location to take the test and that it is FIRST COME-FIRST SERVED. The faster you get through the process the faster you get hired.

You probably won't get anything for a while since you just applied.

Yup, give it like an hour or so. If you don't get it by tommorow morning, email the exam unit.

If you applied for this position, chances are you got a voicemail earlier inviting you to take a Google Answer sheet about your permit status. After completing it, you are required to show up on Oct 23/24th for the test if you pass the pre-screening.

Turns out it's for MTA Bus for the recent position that opened up. Your required to take the test on Oct 23/24th.

Same here, let me know when she gets the email.

So this is for THIS exam and not MTA Bus.
