When you got the call did they tell you to bring in your BC, SS and ID?

Yep, that's exactly what the voicemail said. It didn't say anything about the medical or a start date or anything. Just told me to come in with those documents. I thought I was going for final processing, but just turned out to be another drug test 😒

Was it just to do the drug test? Did they give you a start date for training?

When I went on Friday it was only the drug test. Still no start date for me.

I received the same call.

Nice, did they give details to you on what we’re going to do? I missed the call & just got a voicemail so I wasn’t able to ask questions

Good morning everyone,

I got a voicemail this morning saying to report to Livingston on the 21st for OA. I did both medicals already, but I’m assuming they expired so I may have to retake them. I hope that I don’t even have to do that & they just take my ID photo & give me a start date.. but hopefully this is a good sign that they’ll be hiring again 😁

First, do you remember taking the BOSS exam? I personally did not take the BOSS since, according to the bottom of this page, I completed the BOSS for either 7105 or 7300 during the past calendar year.

If I had to take an educated guess: Since this list contains less than 3,000 names, which is very unhealthy to begin with, I have a "gut" feeling that they were anxious to establish this list. Now, since it's established, they have something to work with, between who shows up, who did or did not take the BOSS test, etc.

In addition, ever since NYC Transit took over their own examinations, the first Bus Operator Exam they published, Exam 2613, consisted of 3,621 candidates. With the fact that I failed the 10-day training in February of 2014, and the last post in that link was made in March of 2016, that tells me that the HR Department went through that list in "approximately" 2 1/2 years. Obviously with this exam, since there are less than 3,000 candidates, if they really need Bus Operators, they will probably go through this list quicker than they went through the 2613 list.

Again, these are just my thoughts...

Hmm, not for this exam. I probably took it for 7105. Sounds good! Thanks for the info as usual 👍

Went for pre-employment about two weeks ago & I just got an email to come in for my BOSS exam next week. I thought the BOSS exam was before pre-employment & medical was the next step after pre-employment? Young, do you know anything about this?

Do I have to take the general knowledge to take the passenger endorsement? Or am I able to just take passenger endorsement for now?

Yes, you need all three.. general knowledge, passenger & air brakes. Even if you pass air brakes and passenger, they won't give you your permit until you pass general knowledge.

So does NYCT consider TA or is MaBstoa is consider OA/TA. Don't really know or understand the differences.

I will keep yall updated if I receive any call or email. Since my medical was on the 23rd.

I'm starting to assume so but it's still not definite. It's seems like the training sessions are every two weeks, leading me to think there might be another one shortly after thanksgiving, on the 26th. 

 

Let us know if you folks who did medical on 10/23, 10/24 receive any correspondence.

I got a phone number for someone in the hiring department. She told me that all vacancies are full for 11/12 just like Racneb mentioned. So yup, I’m thinking all of us who had medicals on 10/23-10/25 are going to be for 11/26. Fingers crossed.

I was there doing my medical on Tuesday, got all the way to doing the 2nd lab but it was backed up. I received permission to leave at 5pm and return only to complete my 2nd lab on Wednesday. I got to do my lab right away! Not sure if it was because it was so early but I did notice minimal staff in the lab. 

Wow, good thing you did that. We were there until 8pm. Were you able to take an ID picture or get a start date after that?

When you go back can you find out when is the next training class. I cant deal with MTA with their short notice.

No problem, will do. Hopefully they call me today to follow up.

Was anybody there today for the medical assessment? We had to wait 8 hours for our second drug test & couldn’t get our ID photos taken because the lab was “busy” 😡. I hope they call us tomorrow or Friday to make it in time for that class on Monday.

According to their website:

 

I'm guessing you'll get a letter before the year ends I hope.

Yup, let's hope so. Thanks! 👍

Hey everyone,

About 4-5 months ago I sent an appeal form to Livingston because they said I did not have the requirements for the position although I did. Does anyone know how I can check the status of the appeal? Maybe a phone number, or would I have to go to Livingston? I remember a few others had the same issue, not sure if anyone has heard back about this.

Thanks in advance.

Male sure you filled it out correct and I had the same issue except they claimed I did not indicate if i had a permit or drivers license so I been calling last week everyday ... They say it could take up to 6 months for you to hear back on your appeal smh this hinders our process where we might have been called but this pushed us back drastically.

6 months?! Wow that sucks. I was hoping it would at least be in the next 30 days. Thanks.

Hey guys, I got my letter in the mail last week saying I was disqualified for not having the work experience required but have been working for years now. Looks like a lot of people got disqualified who shouldn’t have been, I’m assuming that may be why the list seems so short this time? I mailed out the appeal form, anyone know how long it may take to hear back? Really hoping I could get on this list. Good luck to everyone by the way
