Hey! For anyone interested and in the process of becoming a conductor, I have two black KAKA backpacks (highly recommended in school car) that were rarely used and are in fairly good condition. I been out on the road for 10 months now and have been using my old Northface back for the longest. If anyone interested, it’s theirs for a very good price. Send me a message

Wait your uniform came in from unipro or did you get some from terminals/last stops around the city? Because I’ve been hired since July and and been out on the road on my own since September didn’t get anything yet from Unipro. The only things I have are the uniform I brought from a uniform store in queens and new uniform they gave me at a few terminals so that I don’t have to wear that annoying safety vest

Hey guys so I’ve been hired since July and recently got my preferred AM shifts this pick due to all of the new hires coming in and filling the nights and midnight shifts and some of the extra extras finally picking extra list. My question is, do I stay on AMs going forward based on my Preferences or can the crew office really throw me back on PMs? I’ve always been a morning person And really hated PM shifts on certain lines. Imagine getting off from work out of Bedford park Bronx 2 am in the morning? LOL also for those coming out of school car or are in the process of being hired, don’t expect Morning shifts. Crew Office is going to tell you that straight up too.

It depends on their needs. If I’m a betting man, I’d say it will be at the same rate. Transit doesn’t move fast lol

Brand new shirts, ties, sweaters from terminals*

Nope. Nothing yet and I’ve been employed since July. However myself and a few classmates did get lucky and was able to get a few shirts, ties and stuff from terminals in the B division so I’m good until the full uniform set comes

Yes.

Good luck!! You got this. Road practical is the easiest one even though you’re doing the practical in front of the superintendent. They just want to see you do your door operations and see if you know what a station overrun is as well as an unauthorized bypass and short stop. Easy money. You got this bro! Congrats in advanced on completing school car!

School car is training lol and it’s 8 weeks. I think 7 weeks for A division since they have fewer lines than the B division (Letter Lines)

My orientation was from home and was on zoom and lasted the whole day. COVID-19 is the reason lol

What line will you be posting on? And don’t be! This job isn’t hard at all. The best advice I have for you is to not pick up the bad habits you see conductors are doing. That and take notes on how each terminal work because some like the D, M, R, J and even the W are a little weird

Imma see if I can message you the screenshot

Hey bro, nah the email/job offer they sent her states that it’s expiring on 2/14/21 and didn’t mention anything about extending the list. On the bright side. They’re having induction classes every month up until march

I was apart of the summer class this year with my list number being in the 2300s. Hers number is in the 7k. right now I think they’re hiring in the 3000s or about to hit 4K. I’m not too sure.
