Hello, I am an NYCT train operator with 32 years of service. When I started NYCT motorman/train operators didn't have to wear uniforms either. What happened was some train operator started showing up to work wearing inappropriate clothing, three piece suits, wide brimmed pimp style hats on an on an on. So they started to put us in uniforms so we wouldn't look so clownish. Also, there is no operational difference between the titles motorman and train operator. The title changed because women were now working the job.
