    I believe they are being placed on the C due to clearance problems on the other lines, most likely the train operator has a hard time trying to investigate the cause of a BIE while searching between cars outside of stations
  2. Comrade96
    pretty much so, transit does not like the gangway cars
  3. Comrade96
    again, worrying about the wrong thing
  4. Comrade96
    its not just the curves, the tracks on the williamsburg bridge can not have 2 75 foot trains travelling on it at the same time in opposite directions
  5. Comrade96
    the schedule varies depending on how big the induction group is not everyone will have the same schedule
  6. Comrade96
    lot of info in a short amount of time, make sure you study the materials they give you. First week was orientation, then the union hall the next day for your pass and other important info, you climb onto the train for the first time on Thursday
  7. Comrade96
    you will most likely never see another new 75 foot car order gain. Transit learned it wasnt worth it with its restrictions
  8. Comrade96
    I think not enough people signed on the 1st that they made a second
  9. Comrade96
    they actually had 2 promotional conductor exams before the OC one a few months back but yeah
  10. Comrade96
    Though transit may want one anyways because......transit

    so the test they do beforehand to let you know if you have sleep apnea has 2 results, either your AHI is low and you dont need one, or its mild or higher and you need a CPAP machine, if you dont need it because your AHI is low I believe that clears you from needing the 30 day test

    if you dont clear medical hold in 90 days your name will be removed off the list and youd have to call DCAS to get it reinstated
  13. Comrade96
    that can also be traced to the williamsburg bridge wreck in the 90s, motorman also fell asleep and rear ended another train on the bridge
  14. Comrade96
    You can do business casual. i went for my last medical in black jeans and a white button down

    like sure theyre DESIGNED to be compatible with one another IN THEORY real life may play differently....
  16. Comrade96
    CBTC being done in patchwork by differing vendors is gonna bite transit in the ass down the line I guarantee it
  17. Comrade96
    Unfortunately thats the one thing I can never be sure on until the few days or weeks before it hypothetically gets extended again , hence why I tell people to take the chance while they have it. My comments were meant to be rooted in realism
  18. Comrade96
    I wasnt trying to be negative so I apologize if it came off that way
  19. Comrade96
    Point taken
  20. Comrade96
    but if im wrong im wrong, its not a big deal
  21. Comrade96
    the list has already been extended twice and IIRC civil service exams can only run for a maximum of 6 years before they have to be retired
  22. Comrade96
    there is no next class, the test expires next month, its now or never
  23. Comrade96
    it has been explained why the G cannot be extended, plus its far too late now for that
  24. Comrade96
    F is long enough of a route already it doesnt need to be local in queens nights, the old service pattern works fine
  25. Comrade96
    at this point theres not much that can be done theyre gonna have to tough it out
