>new Fulton St local service

That's a neat idea. Seemingly simple (no new track construction). But why hasn't Court St been used to such capacity?

• New local service between Court St (taking away Transit Museum) and Euclid Av
•  becomes Fulton St Express and is extended to Lefferts Blvd
•  full time to the Rockaways
• Almost double frequency to Queens
•  (optional) becomes Eighth Av Express to 59 St, then local to 168 St

Thought it'd be smooth sailing for me, but no medical/final processing without being fully vaccinated.

And boom! LoL 🤣 I had asked if u were bcuz I noticed other ppl who were called back for medical weren't 9618. But we prolly seen ech othr Friday, it was a mad house down there. I went on both Friday and Monday. But Monday was much smoother, being that there wasn't many ppl. Ur testing came back quick, def a blessing🙏🏾 I just called for mine but seeing tht it's only been 2 days, they sed it wasn't ready yet 🥴. Dang now I wish I'd done mine Friday, seems like they were working faster on tht day. Wen'd u get ur email @AbstractSector

I received email for pre-employment on March 1, and for final processing on March 15

Doing some investigating on this thread @MR2 and I did see where @AbstractSector gave his list number but never confirmed his Exam number. Bcuz Friday was his drug test tomorrow he's scheduled for medical. So tht's def quick, I wonder what's his Exam number, bcuz wen I asked him, he never responded. 

Exam number is in fact 9618

Transit newbie, lots to learn about.

As a rider, I find the branching on  makes for disappointing frequency to the Rockaways. How about sending all  trains to the Rockaways and converting service to Lefferts Blvd to a shuttle? Average weekday ridership of the Rockaways and Lefferts Blvd branch is 47k combined (2019). I presume this isn't a threshold to make any infrastructure investment. So fantasy time.

Reconfiguring Rockaway Blvd station: construct a new track on the north or south side to serve as the terminal for the Lefferts Blvd shuttle and a switch west of 104 St. South side appears more open, but I don't know if there is enough room on the street. What frequency does the single-track section set for the shuttle?

New track on south at left; new track on north at right. New tracks in green (normal service) and black (if coming from/going to Pitkin Yard)

Higher ridership from Beach 67 St to Far Rockaway suggests the increased service (now 10-12 tph) go to Far Rockaway. Is the Rockaway Park shuttle merging in front of trains at Broad Channel bottleneck at that rate? Can the Far Rockaway terminal handle the higher frequency?

GREAT.GOOD LUCK.. WHEN DID U TAKE DRUG TEST?? THEY CALL OR EMAILED??

THANKS

I did pre-employment/drug test on March 11. For that, they sent me an email, text, and call. But for this time for final processing, only email.

I received dates for medical/final processing on March 17, and training on March 27.

USPS money order..? What a mystery.
