  1. I merged both of your threads. As we all answered in your second thread, you need the passenger endorsement and road test in the bus.
  2. I did some research. You would have to add the Passenger endorsement to your license, but will still be required to take the road test with the bus during training
  3. Castleton has scheduled trips on the 32.
  4. If I’m not mistaken, you will need to get a B permit with the passenger endorsement for your license before being hired. You will go through training the same way as anyone else without a license from start to finish. Once you pass your road test to get the Class B+Pax endorsement added, you will start line training. After line training, you graduate with the rest of your classmates and soon thereafter, you’ll be on your own.
  5. To add on to this, if you are in doubt, STOP, call console and ask for help. You don’t want to take it upon yourself and go off route and then something happens. I had one operator miss a turn and was finding his way around. On the street before getting back on route, he hits a parked car. He didn’t call console prior to going off route. I had responded to the accident and I was only 5 mins away. (Meaning the whole accident could have been avoided) If you know your way around, call and just say you’re off route for whatever reason and you’re detouring. They will tell you detour safely and this way, you’re covered for being off route. On days where you get runs (assuming you’re XL) with long swings, go ride the routes. In general, tough it out for the first year. You will be up and down with the scheduling if you’re on the list. The first pick is in a month or so, so if you’re able to pick a run, do so to at least get yourself a schedule. You’ll be able to change depots at the end of the year. It’s a great job, don’t take everything personal. If you’re not here for the money or pension, then you’re definitely staying for the benefits. It’s an easy job most days. Use common sense when driving. If you’re interested in moving up, study for and take the next OA Dispatcher exam. You need 3 years as an operator and being that you’re OA, you’ll be able to work in Manhattan and The Bronx as a dispatcher. And again, if you have questions, ask for help. Good luck!
  6. Next class is scheduled for 3/17. Do keep in mind that they are calling from this list and the previous OA SLD list as well.
  7. If you want the employee badge, send me a PM
  8. The training buses can be taken anywhere in the city. There was a Gleason bus in Staten Island today. During my 10 day training, I drove in all except Staten Island.
  9. That’s funny!!!!! Anyways…. Going forward, if we’re not going to do the proper research with these deliveries and scrap buses, then I’m just going to lock these threads. I’m not saying that to flex on anyone here but I’m not going to allow this to turn into a source of misinformation. The Discord bot is good but the system it is relying on has flaws. Those flaws trickle down. So, trust but verify.
  10. 9006 has not been delivered to Baisley Park, let alone been registered in the system.
  11. If I’m not mistaken, bugs were found in the software on the pilot set so they were disabled until it was sorted out. The 211A I rode today didn’t have them.
  12. 2416 is at UP, never went to LaGuardia. GPS bugged out.
  13. Depends where you land up and what work assignment you get. You can come out of line training picking an actual assignment or most times, be on the extra list. When I started on the list, I was PMs. 2-3PM reports, being done anywhere between 11P-2A. You pick 4 times a year. 3 where you pick work at your current depot and the big system pick, that allows you to change depots and work.
  14. The 10 day training is usually AMs, it is 8 hours every day. Earliest report time is around 6-7am and you’re done at 2-3pm. For line training, you will have an AM report and your schedule will be whatever your trainer’s work is.
