good news, they gave me the class on 2/27 (Sunday). 
 

However, the problem is I can’t do that date. So they’re putting me in for the March class. 
 

Waiting to re-do my drug test now. 
 

I hope by postponing my training I won’t be forfeiting my chances of getting hired. It bothers me that it’s not in writing. Just worried when March comes I’d be denied a spot. =\

Only thing is everyone that starting 02/27 will have seniority ahead of you.  And it’s very hard to get back to the people at 180.

Just passed my medical. Sitting here and waiting at the moment . 
 

yes it’s MTA bus.
 

I will be going to stage one of preemployment for exam 1100 on 3/3/22. Wonder why the drug and medical results jist don’t carry over. 

You did medical before?   Or you switching?   Drug test last for 30 days only, medical last for 90 days.

What would you be able to choose if your MTA Bus? @Kennedy  LaGuardia, Baisley, college point.  Some people did not get get to pick because there was nothing left and the put them all in Baisley.  There’s on 6 bus lines/routes at baisley but I heard it’s in the ghetto and people usually get pumped out too.

Will be going in for medical tomorrow. 

Kennedy, I’m a bit confused. R u in 99929 class or exam 1100 class at the moment? 

1100.   If you’re MTA Bus you will not be able to pick Grand Ave.

If you’re Mta bus you can’t pick ENY. That’s a T/A depot. Closest would be Baisley or College Point. I’m at College Point. Lots of over and the supervision doesn’t hassle us. Take a while to move up in seniority however. 

I’m OA/MBSTOA.  East NY Depot was the first to be gone.  I did not want to go there even though I live close to it.  I picked Grand Ave.

Yes we did yesterday

Sad, but that's the requirement. It's based on the type of equipment you were tested on, and currently NYCT is an commercial transportation passenger service category. 

I hope he does well. 

He’s actually good.  He knows his pre-trip and got his driving under control.  I know he’s passing.

That’s BS. He can use his class A, as long as he have Passenger Endorsement. 

Well he’s Going to East Chester from tomorrow for training for the class B.

Don’t know what to pick.  I’m close to East NY depot, not sure if I want to go there

1. I qualified on day 7

Day 7 is first road test.  If you don’t pass on day 7 you go to day 8 for training again and then day 9 is next test day, then if you don’t make it on day 9 you go to day 10 which is the last try.  Very few people make it on day 10 because it’s harder with 2 instructors.  Some give up and don’t show up.  

Just now, BOO3 said:

Kennedy, how many tries did it take u to pass? If 1, you’re a savage. =)

1. I qualified on day 7

any more pointers since we’re both from the same industry hehe

Just don’t leave your company.  Take a week or 2 off.  When finish 10 days training then you decide.  As soon as they give you the book start learning the ALSAP which is the brakes tests.  They just want to know you can demonstrate it.  For the License holders we don’t have to know the whole pre-trip but it’s good to learn it too.   It’s a lot more for the people with the permits.  After day 10 they have to go to East Chester to train for the DMV test.

Does anyone know if mta bus company depots have employee parking lots? 

 

Yes they do.  You have to get a pass so you can get there early for a spot.  For the 1st day or 2 not sure if they will let you in parking lot.

Is it true you have to downgrade to a CLASS B if you have a CLASS A CDL? If so why?

They told him a class A license is to drive a truck and carry cargo, class B is to carry passengers.

Totally different.  Just forget about driving school bus when you get there.  The said the school bus drivers are the hardest to train, they prefer the permit holders.  I prove them wrong not all school bus drivers are hard to train, both me and my boy made it on day 7.  Just listen and do what they tell you to do and you will be good.

Act like you brand new.  Not everyone make it.  It’s up to day 10.  You got 3 shot at test days, after that you have to resign and try again 5 years after.  Today was day 10 and I literally saw some folks was escorted to the office to resign and give up their pass.

Yes, I called 911 and reported it. Eventhough it was minor I was furious about it because the idiot drove illegally on a shoulder and hit me . Don’t a police always arrive at the scene when you file a police report tho? I mean…I always thought this was the protocol unless u settle it privately with the other party. 
 

And no, they never said anything about my accident. It was listed on my application. I didn’t hide anything. 

And I don’t hide anything either.  I’m clean as a whistle.  I have nothing to fear.

I think you took my question the wrong way.  Don’t mean any harm.  Good luck to you dear.

Did my drug test today, I guess I will be waiting for my medical appointment. That’s if I don’t get disqualified because of a minor car accident; $ 300.00 cosmetic dmg to my car. 

Was the police called at the scene?  And if that’s the case they would’ve said something.

Did you take a road test or a written test ? @Kennedycongrats. I got a called today to scheduled training i told them i need 2 weeks notice with my job because is not a pick and go job. So he said I will get a reschedule and wait for my next email. I'm glad they called but I got a lot on my shoulder so I will wait for that email. 💪Congrats Kennedy 👏 

If you have the license already you only have to do the 10 days training, which testing days are days 7,9 & 10.
