Wow, I guess you drive and don't take the subway at all because according to Wikipedia, the R train hasn't gone to 179th since 1992 LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(New_York_City_Subway_service)

Exam 6601 Conductor 6601 Hiring Process
LexAveExp5 replied to whatisacup's topic in Transit Employment
Well, they might not give you a score if you're not eligible but you can still check your answers when they post the answer key a few weeks after the exam -
No, this person said that if you PASS the first time, you still have to take it again. It sounds like they got stricter, not less strict
-
Wow, they're making you guys take the signals test twice???
-
Wow, not enough people retiring yet? Sounds like the rest of the world lol

Maybe I'll get the letter around May 1st. I started in March 2013 so if they only send out letters around that time, I understand why I didn't get one last May
-
Hmm, I had been off probation for 2 months before I called out and they still asked for my address. Also, I never got a letter saying I'm in the 70% but I did get a letter saying that since I only used 1 day of sick leave that I could cash out 8 hours if I wanted (which I didn't)

Yard Extra

I was just talking to an older t/o in the crew room who said that nobody's really retiring because they can't afford to, and with all these classes there's like 100 people on the board every day doing nothing. But common wisdom on here says t/o's are leaving in droves and we're so short down here. So which is it???
-
It has taken effect, but the pass is only for those who live outside the 5 boroughs. Those of us who live in NYC don't get a pass
-
I believe you can save the penalty jobs as OTO when you're posting because you're only paid 8 hours until you fill out an exception form. I could be wrong though
-
lol dressing up for the interview was the EASIEST part of getting the job!
-
So you mean all those sweet 8 hour N/Q jobs I don't have to sign out for???
-
really??? Is someone actually gonna snap a picture of you sleeping when they know damn well you're off duty???
-
No I didn't get to pick. I was scheduled to pick this morning but all the jobs were gone (which is probably a good thing)
-
I'm just saying, how can people on probation pick before me? Unless his probation was extended
-
That can't be true. My probation ended March 25th and I'm supposed to pick tomorrow morning. My file number is 3937
-
Yeah but out in the Rockaways it would be so awesome lol
-
The very first post in this thread says the majority of the new cars will be five car units. Doesn't that mean they'll go to the and not the ? Also, what was the problem with the 160s in the Rockaways and how was it fixed??? Operating the would be so much easier if it was new tech
-
The R211 will replace the R46 but that's a few years down the road. First, the R179s are going to replace the R32s and R42s
-
In the B division we take it about 1/3 into the station because the platforms are so long. 160s are the best, but the 46s aren't bad. I hate the 68s
-
ohhh, they won't let us touch the L line until we're CBTC qualified
-
The funny thing is, I still haven't seen one of those track indication signals lol
-
maybe for fun they're cool but not when you have to make perfect station stops and if you're trying to get to the punch box and stop short the conductor opens up because the 32s have no door enablers! lol (yes, it happened to me)
-
so the 179s are coming in 2014, right??? i'm sick of operating those 32s and 42s! lol
