Thank you ! Btw did you have to take the BOSS exam for b/o . I literally just received a letter for that . If so, whats it like ? 

I’m OA(MaBSTOA)...boss exam is only for TA (NYCTA) BUS Operators...the process is the same as conductor only thing difference is you don’t have to do that booklet that’s consider “homework”

Really all the paper work too? I know I’m gonna have to re take drug test soon

Yup everything...it was frustrating going to 180 early in the morning then wait 4-6 hours just to get your name call...but it will be worth it

Hey everyone, so i have to go back there tomorrow for a second drug test because mine is about to expire. & i would like to know if anyone that has gone back for another drug test had to fill out that packet again and what was your experience like. I really dont wanna sit there for forever and a day . Do they just bring you to the lab and you pee or i have to do everything all over again ? 

Sorry but you are going to have to do everything all over again speaking from experience with my hiring process for exam 4105 (bus operator) reason being is the employment history expires as well everything has a expiration date only thing I did not have to do over was fingerprinting and hearing test reason being: it is good for a year

If yr orientation is a monday that means tuesday u start training they may ask you to come in that Sat to make up 5 days of training then u go back monday to friday to make up 10 days training. After qualifying you do equipment training on diff buses then back to zerega for customer service 3 days then you pick depot where you go do line training 4 weeks now during that 4 weeks u have weekends off enjoy it well cuz once you come off line training you won't have another weekend off for a very long long time 

Thanks I’m still doing research and I know there is a thread on this but I can’t find it , but on your knowledge which union is better twu or ATU? I’m just trying to plan my steps ahead i will be moving to Staten Island so i want to go to a ATU base depot but I know for a fact the money is at with a twu base depot in the city  I also read somewhere that even though the starting rate is $23.84, but depending on which depot you go to (rep. ATU or TWU) the payrate differs

During the 7-10 training they give you weekend off correct?

Update * i was reinstated finally! I start training July 9th I will definelty make sure I have a tie on this time lol I just want to thank @SevenEleven for the advice and encouragement you was very informative man thanks!!! i just have one last question that I’m confuse about: 

(well two but I’m going to do my own research on rather which union is better and which depot gets paid more ATU or twu I’m currently with ATU local 0732 down here in Atlanta)

My appointment papers state If you have a out of state CDL (which I do have) you need to bring a drivers abstract on my first day but at 180 Livingston street they instructed me to transfer my out of state CDL ASAP or I won’t be able to proceed on with the training I even ask the people at zerega my first time there before i was sent home they said that it doesn’t matter what state the CDL is from while in training as long as it is valid and clean...I’m afraid of getting sent home again so I want to know for sure if i was told the right information by either 180 Livingston street or the people at zerega....I know I’m eventually going to have to transfer my Georgia license to ny but I want do it once I officially finish the 7-10 day training (anything can happen) also my current job (Marta which is Atlanta version of mta) put you on hold once you surrender your Georgia state CDL 

Those people list numbers are lower then 6127 like me for instance my number is 5541 so who ever number is lower then me will get a email to come in for final process before me and so on

i was there as well on 12th but didnt get drug test till about 2:00pm.

So you were there on Tuesday for drug test and you got the email today to go on for medical? 

Update guys:did you get a email to come back for medical yet? If not it’s because they send them out in list# order so if you were a recall or on medical hold you have to wait until they reach you in that order

The earlier you are the quicker you leave but that’s nothing wait until you go back for final processing (which is full body medical where They Check your hearing vision and weight) the wait is so much longer up to the point they close

Yes 

Recall on June 12th got a email today stating to come in for final processing next week,keep in mind test results only take two days to get back the Next class is July 9th this list is fairly old compare to the conductor list therefore waiting 3-90 days is not likely because they are already at the bottom of the list

Has anyone got called back in for medical yet? 

Yeah go next week for medical (final processing) next class is July 9th

Hey everyone, so ive been following this forum for quite some time, but im still so confused and anxious when it comes to this waiting game. My list number is between 810-820 & i took the opa in october/November & i also did the drug test on april 10th & havent heard anything. They said 3-90 days but the 90 days are fastly approaching. Has anyone in my list range heard anything ? Im hoping for a call back in september but with the MTA anything goes . 

Not in ya list range (#1292) but I know first hand they are calling a lot of ppl in for final processing (for July class)I was there (180 Livingston street) doing my final processing yesterday for B/O I say you definitely getting a call back for September...also I was speaking to several ppl in the waiting area....alot of people was resigning to go over to OA B/O maybe that will speed up the process as well

Yeah but not everyone from 1-530 got hired (assumption).

That’s a good point totally forgot to take that into consideration 

1 minute ago, Bmpo7 said:

I thought they called 2,000 to hire 500.

 Nah I don’t think that’s true I mean they are already pass 530 hired and I saw more going  through the final processing phase Today, I just left 180 LIVINGSTON STREET doing my PE for the 4105 Exam (Bus Operator) and this is what I was told by the HR’s when I ask for Information on the 6601 exam.....

my neck circumference was 18" so they sent me for sleep study turns out I had mild sleep apnea, they gave me machine and i have given them 2 months of compliance reports and they took me off hold. in May and just call me back in. WOuld i have to re do medical again ?

Medical and drug test is valid for 90 days so just do the math from the day you took your medical and drug test....when you go to PE again just notify them of your situation and bring the medical documents with you the copy they gave you after doing your physical and drug test

Probably because you where already hired. You did final processing already? 

Yeah I was hired ..my first day was April 2nd at zerenga depot in the Bronx they sent me home for not wearing  a tie with a long sleeve shirt 

11 minutes ago, Bmpo7 said:

That's a great point... The lady told me I don't need to show up tomorrow, but you're right in that I (and others who have already took drug test) will need new drug test if we are going to be in the July 10 class. Heck, even if I show up tomorrow June 8, I would still need a new drug test for July 10. Does anyone know if they do another drug test at the medical?

Yeah they do two drug test...when you get your email stating to come back for the final processing phase that’s when you do your second drug test but They don’t check  for drugs actually if I’m not mistaken it’s for diabetes and something else in your system...with all this being said you would have to do the urine test again wait for the results to come back then go on to the final phase

Drug test are only good for 30 days, so ex. may 22nd to June 22nd. But now transit wants you for July 2nd(as an example not realistically speaking) the drug won't be good any longer. The medicals are good for 90 days. So that's probably why. You have to redo the packet I know from experience 

Yeah that’s true but that still don’t explain why send out another packet (the packet is your employment history school and resident history )all that stuff should be in your file your file does not get thrown away,if the drug test expire in 30 days you suppose to be notify..like me for example I’m on the list for OA BUS OPERATOR I did everything that needs to be done my first day was April 2nd (long story short I got sent home for being out of uniform)  I just received a call Tuesday to come in and do a drug test I ask her do I have to do everything over again she said “No,your information is on file and I’m looking at it you just need to do another  drug test” I told her I didn’t recieve another PE in the mail she said “Sir! Drug test! Tuesday June 12th 7:30” lol

I think it may be sooner so long as they have classes every month. Wishful thinking 

Yeah but you got to be realistic too if every class holds 40-60 and classes are held every month you still got to wait at least late 2018 or early 2019 depending on your list number
