Keeping to the scheduled time should never be a Train Crew's priority on any level.  Getting to the terminal safely is what we focus on.

How can we as train operators go into a packed station with people on the edge of the platform at maximum allowable speed knowing anyone of them might slip, lose their balance or worse get pushed into the tracks?  How much time will the train crew lose then?

 

Yes, people lacking in common sense exist as passengers and even some of out co-workers.  Being honest here.

If a Train Operator can be on time then they can do it.  But no need to stress or beat yourself up about losing time.  The last thing we want to do is roll over someone or drag a person out of the station, no amount of compensation or therapy can make us whole from that kind of morbid scenario.

And as for being promotional only, the job is not for everyone.  It is intense training and out on the road requires absolute focus.  Staying promotional only works if they expand the promotional eligible titles.

I’m a truck driver at the post office. We work shifts also but getting to our destination safely is a priority over getting there on time. Rushing there can get u in an accident and a grounded driver is of no use. There is no stress here, no one on your back trying to find a fault with you, they encourage you to don’t rush be safe and don’t speed. Should I jump ship to train operator? We have good pay, medical coverage, retirement, job security. Mta pays better. Idk. Undecided.
