Acela Express

Good afternoon all. 

I've been looking into more information regarding the engineering hiring for MNRR. 
The initial hiring test has been completed, and I passed, and I'm assuming the background information checked out too, because I've received another email inviting me to the selective attention testing sometime this coming week. I'm assuming the interview will come afterwards -- can anyone provide details on the upcoming interview? What's it like?

I've been an BO for 7+ plus years and looking for a change.
I heard there's a way to bring over retirement time if you talk to the proper people and such. 
What's the word?

I called Employment Center today and she confirmed my lady's information but said the list hasn't been established yet, so no one receives their score until they've done so. smh

Ok, has anyone physically received their scores and list number in the mail? We haven't got anything from transit yet (when I mean "we", I mean my lady)...

 

Can anyone provide me an email or direct number to human resources so we can resolve the matter?

Did anyone receive their results for SA #6600?

My lady took it at Brooklyn Tech on Sunday, 12/13/15 (AM).

 

We contacted DCAS but there's no record of her SSN on file, so we spoke with an representative who couldn't find anything on 6600, and said we probably have to call MTA directly. 

 

Any ideas?

1233 back at MCH from FLAT

5327 & 28 were sent back to Flatbush from MJQ while 5335-36 were sent to Quill from Flatbush.

 

Also, Quill has four 1200s in service - 1281, 82, 84 & 85, as to date.

All RTS parked in flatbush today & will not hit service (most likely not needed because of Sunday schedule)

That's funny, because I've seen RTS in service today.

 

Don't assume.

 

Btw, 5965, 5966 & 5967 WF to MQ - wrapped for SBS service to join the rest of the 59xx fleet at MQ.

5138 back at Flatbush as of last week Friday from Grand Avenue (loaner)

5135 was at UP as a loaner only.

It's been back for a few weeks now.

 

I had 5135 on Friday morning.

Your roster is also showing that 4949 & 5043 are not at Flatbush, when they've been there for well over a year now.

Micstromme, 9681 and 9682 are in Grand Av, along with 9508-9515, 9517-9526, 9535, 9537-9542, 9546, 9550, 9667, 9678 & 9679. These buses got there in January or before then. Thanks for the confirmation.

 

Updated.

9678, 79, 81 & 82 were recently moved within the past two weeks.

 

Flatbush received 5145-49 & 5037-38 also in the same time frame.

Why is it odd? It's just a bus #, and it is from EN. UP is borrowing buses because they're short as hell. 4858,4884,4887,4888,4890,4896,4899 are still

Out at the Vendor. 5088 was dragged out of the yard to EC, 9614 was dragged to CMF, 5081 has the doors taken off, no trans, and other buses are out of the building as well. 5052, 5134, 5194 & 5196 Are at UP from FB they're borrowing from them as well.

5041 was sent over earlier today (they had a few UP ops come over to pick em up).

 

But, these are in fact borrowed buses, most definitely.

 

Prepayment? This should be implemented at all busy transfer points, with slips shown to the driver when they're available (they would need to make text on the slips bigger, because those things look like they're in 8 pt font...)

 

SBS is just a scheme to make the feds pay for capital improvements, and so far, it appears to be working.

That, actually, would be a waste of time, though the theory 'sounds' doable, you can't have both paying-at-the-farebox passengers and also ticket passengers boarding the same bus, as it would cause confusion, and folks really would take advantage of this honor system. It's either one or the other. There's a reason for pre-boarding payment methods, to allow the agents to work thoroughly in catching farebeaters and such.

Roster Updated: http://metro.wikia.com/wiki/MTA_Regional_Bus_Roster

9447 from GA to Flatbush

The B44 uses the same percentage of artics, NGs, and RTS' on both LTD and locals; there's no set amount for either or as we have hybrid paddles (one trip we'll be LTD, next we're to be local)

9697 back at FB, Spotted on the B44 during the week. Nostrand and H. Heading to Sheepshead.

1. 9697 came to FB 2 weeks ago.
