this information is wrong. If you're a T/O you can only get demoted to C/R if you were one previously. If you weren't one previously, you're getting demoted to cleaner if you're not fired. C/R can get demoted to cleaners, they just aren't fired flat out. Also, when I was hired originally as a conductor, I had one question wrong. Took the test in 2008 and got hired in 2012. So I don't know about the getting hired in two years with 6 wrong.

negative.

and taxes.

yes they are and they WILL terminate you if you lied on the forms and they find out about it later when they get around to checking your information, even if you've been working in that title for years.

definately.

It's not public free. People still will come up to you to ask questions.

On the previous one, got one wrong, finished it in less than hour (possibly even less, it's been over 4 years so I don't remember). All on a lowly high school diploma. Unless you've got any transportation experience, I don't know how you consider yourself overqualified. Being a conductor isn't the same as being a burger flipper.

Certain civil service titles do have city residency requirements, fortunately, Train Operator isn't one of them. Just be mindful that if you're providing your own transportation to work and you're late, you're on your own. If you live far away in other states like NJ, CT and PA, this might make it tough. Transit only validates lateness if you use the subway system.

Transit is a full time job. There are no part-time conductors.

you can always just drive to the yard, walk to the nearest station and take the train to the terminal. Just remember to apply for the MTA parking permit so you don't have any issues parking in the yard.

It varries by each specific job. It depends on what the schedule has you doing. If an interval starts midway i.e. out of 111th Street going to 34th St, then you most likely start out of tne yard. Some jobs don't have put-in's don't need conductors since the train comes straight into the terminal, so you would report to the terminal.

The majority of A division yards are in the Bronx.

Which is why everyone kept saying don't waste time getting those study guides. They're useless and unneeded.

I took the old test back in December 2008, I didn't get called until April 2012. That was with just one answer wrong and a 98.66 score and a 3 digit list number.

What money? Uncle sam takes most of it lol
