Hey guys, i applied for the exam back in nov 2022 , the exam will be on may 20 2023. any study guides out there? i know some are going to say its just common sense questions but there has to be some materials that we can prepare for.
what is the pay? what do the shifts look like? do you get to pick which station to work at or do they send you to wherever is needed?
thank you!

Just curious what are the hours or shifts of this job? Also is their a lot of overtime?
Goes by seniority, 3 tours , all different hours. When you go in, you pick from what is left. AM PM NITE Vacation relief, Lunch Rellief. The further back you are, the less choices you have,My friend retired after 31 years at the end of 2020. You can work anywhere in the system any hour of the day by tour. Vacation Relief you can work any station in the system any tour week by week. Lunch relklief you run around from station to station giving them 1;/2 hour breaks,

Hello Everyone!! Any new updates? They will restart hiring or not? Which number was running before pandemic?
I also heard a rumor that the title will change to customer service agent with the implementation of OMNY.

They are downsizing the title. They are closing more booths and eliminating all Lunch Relief jobs and changing the times of all the booths and will eventually elilminate the night tour.

- TA is eliminating 50 station agent jobs from the winter pick. Some booths are being entirely closed and some are 24 hour booths losing the night tour.
Todays channel 7 noon news reports that this plan has been cancelled.

Ever hear the old adage about the railroad: "Believe half of what you see and even less of what you hear"
You can't make all booths part time - that's just stupid...not to mention transit is obligated to pay OT after 8 hours a day...there are very few jobs with more than 8 hours. You can't run a booth between the hours of 10am and 6pm and that's it...and do you REALLY think they're gonna magically start paying a ton of people OT?
He clarified that the booths would be open for the AM and PM tours and close for the night tour.

- My Station Agent friend told me that next July, they will totally change all the hours of all the booths and eliminate the PM and Night tours at most booths.
- Will someone call the union to see if what he says is correct. I don't see them doing this without public hearings happening. He says booths will close at 4 or 6 pm.

Also, would anyone like to share the good and bad experiences you have had while doing the job ?

Where Stations Agents and CTAs pick their jobs twice a year. It is in the Port Authority train mezz. inside the fare control.

For those of you who are going to be Wayfinders, expect to stand the entire day.
For those of you who are going to be in the booths, expect to work extrememly busy booths.
Good luck to you all. I believe that their is high turnover in new employees due to the difficult environments involved.

Mmm that’s not true i came in a few months ago and when January came in i got a vacation day for every month i worked plus my ava’s
If your appointment date in 2018, you will NOT get any vacation until 2019.
For 2017, you will get 1 day for each ENTIRE month worked

I hope all of you realize you do NOT get a vacation the ENTIRE first year of employment.
Second year, I day for each full month worked up to a minimum of 10 days.

(Correct me if I'm wrong)Before it was MTA, you could only board Canarsie buses at Downtown Brooklyn and the Junction and get off Downtown bound buses at the Junction and then Downtown Bklyn.. Now you can get on and off at any stop.
The LTD exempts it from the request-a-stop program after 10pm..

I see. I'll assume you're talking about the express buses. Then it could be done by a private operator.
And to answer your question, VG8, I imagine the SIers would fill up about 24 to 35 seats per run with about maybe 7 round trips.
Yes, I meant express buses.

I created a manhattan route in the form of the M17:
M17: Serves World Trade Center/Chambers Street to West 34th Street
Stops: Via Chambers Street, Canal Street W.Houston Street, West 4th Street, Turn right to 14th Street then up 8av with the M20. Then terminates at 34 Penn Station.
Task: Assist train passengers in going to World Trade Center in times when it is re-routed to alternative route. Assist Crosstown workers in transfers.
Additional Service: Extension to 42nd street during rush hours resulting in Battery Park City/South Ferry to 42nd street/Port Authority Bus Terminal.
This has yet to be developed but it'll be more Improved.
Nonstop, this would have been the former X26 bus route.

The folks in Yorkville don't want to deal w/the subway nor the SBS on the M15 and they can afford $5 - $6 each way.
This X40 sounds weird... Why Union City????
MTA buses are not allowed to p/u, d/o in NJ..
