Ok, thanks for the info.. pretty much figured that’s what I should expect.

Don’t plan on having any drinks this week..  so I should be all good.. and to be honest if a drink I had at dinner on the weekend makes me fail the alcohol test I would probably say screw the job.. since i’m expecting a letter from school safety as well. 

Can’t believe I took this exam back in 2012.. I used to come to this forum and read all the people talk about getting letters... I remember all the people talking about how many people passed and they would never get to certain numbers, etc.

i also took the police communication technician test (911) and passed.. they sent me a letter a while back but I passed on it because I probably wouldn’t have liked the job.

we’ll see how it goes... after all these years I’m pretty numb to the entire thing so that’s a plus for me as I didn’t even expect to be called at all based on some of the things I’ve read on this forum.

Good luck to you man, just be honest and you'll be fine. Out of curiosity, what range is your list number?

So it looks like their still hiring off this list, that squashes the rumors that May was the last class.

Where is the opa exam? I have mine for Thursday but I didn't get a notice. Just an email informing me of a time change for my opa  .... 

HR Headquaters, 180 Livingston street.

That OPA was ridiculous, the wait time for the second part was bad. Management should've either had more staff on hand or had less people come in.

Anybody know when the list will be published?

Nobody knows for certain, if I had to give you a rough estimate I'd say mid to late 2019. Take that with a grain of salt.

So I went down to the Protest session yesterday afternoon. As a result of taking the exam during the PM session Sunday, April 8th at Midwood HS, I was able to Protest the following questions:

-#22 (A instead of D)

-#54 (A instead of D)

-#59 (B instead of A)

-#71 (C instead of A)

Without going into too many details, I was able to use the exact wording in the question and in the multiple-choice answers to prove my case.

We'll see what happens when the list gets published...

So you'll only know if your protest worked once the list gets published?

For this job is a license is required? Do you need a license or good driving record to get this job?  

Nah, although from what's been stated in the thread multiple times, you are able to bid into specialist jobs including truck driving.

So I'm pretty sure I got a 95 on this exam. I definitely want to go to the protest since a lot of the questions I got wrong I didn't expect to get wrong. Can someone explain how protests usually go?

From what I've been told, you go down there and just write a brief summary as to why your answer is a better choice.

Self marked myself, looks like 2 wrong. I'm pissed because one of the ones I got wrong I changed my answer, haha knew I shouldn't have.

The Uptown and ran local today b/w Times Square-42nd Street and 96th Street...it was barely any snow sticking to the ground for it to suspend express service on certain lines!

they must protect the trains because those big tanks can't handle and inch..

Wait wait wait. That photo of the R32 SMS Is fake. It was basically photoshop by someone else. Because NYtransit posted that same exact photo with the regular R32 interior. So basically it you guys been fooled by someone stupid. Whoever fix that photo didn't fool me:mad:

By someone stupid? I'm sorry to say this but that person has more talent then you with a computer then you ever will..

Arm Chair Dispatching Bump...

from bumps on Facebook to Bumps on NYCTF... lol

Yeah maybe the MTA made a mistake but hey im just gonna see what happens

yeah I don't think they said 16 trains that would mean extra crews which would rape the MTA's pockets, I could see them adding 3 maybe 4 extra trains but have them running more trips instead of pulling into the yard early. I have to agree with Bill.

I don't know because 16 trainsets are gonna get added, thats 128 cars (8 car trains) they are gonna need some extras As for the R44's I don't care if they don't comeback because their garbage but they are gonna need atleast 6-8 more trains because i still think they are gonna need a few R32's to full in the blank, If the R42's are not listed for SMS they might retire before 2017, they look bad and i did hear something regarding the R42's but we don't know about their future

no from what I heard it's 16 extra trips... 16 extra trains would over crowd the L

If the Contract was done (along with the options) how can you buy more (without paying more)

Most likely its a loaner it wont be there for long . And they will get their c40s late december - mid jan .

Supposed to be 34 by March of 2012!

 

Did all of JG Orion V CNG's go to CP yet?

10 or 11 Orion V's left at JG

And one set of 44s just vanished from concourse, destination unknown.

Someone told me a few are in working condition and are ready if needed, funny if it was true.

I haven't seen a 7XX or 7XXX Orion V CNG at CP for weeks now, did they retire them?

 

Also, have any new C40LF's been delivered yet? Also what ever happened to 230?

 

It seems like some WF & JG Orion V CNG's are at CP, maybe to replace the 7XX & 7XXX.

I don't think the 7xx's and 7xxx's have been retired yet...

230 is still at WF

and yes a few JG and WF Orion V's went to CP. Although a few came back to gleason as I heard.

Awesome information!

 

What is the date of this? It has the Bx23/Q50, but not the QM16 to Beach 147th let alone 169th.

 

If only you could post NYCT and LIB ones...

Enjoy what you got..

Awesome Sauce Dude!!

I have finally settled on a DSLR: Nikon D5100. I will have the money to buy it by March-April 2012. I will buy two lens to go along with it (one in march and the second between September-November 2012). I will buy the Nikon 70-300mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens in March when I get the D5100 body so that I can take outdoor shots. Between September-November 2012, I will get either a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Lens or a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Lens to go along with it so that I can take shots of moving trains underground. I cannot wait to get this stuff!

Good for you and what does this have to do with the subway...?

Where exactly is the Murphy tower?

The master tower in 38th St Yard that controls the 4th Ave line from south of 59th St to Pacific St.

@_@ Well at least its not on some foreign Brooklyn territory.

Whats next, sending this bus to CP?

 

_________________________________________________________________

I have recently heard from a CP bus driver (Edison) that someone told him from his depot that they might be doing this...

 

CP & LGA will totally switch their fleet (except for the express buses), meaning CNG's will be at LGA & hybrids/diesels at CP OR a bunch of CNG buses will be going to LGA and LGA will be getting a new CNG plant.

 

CS, and other depots may be getting C40LF's, and CP might not be getting any. Instead other depots would bump their buses to CP in place of the C40LF's.

 

---This is what I heard and is 50-99% not true---.

LGA would NEVER EVER switch there bus fleet with CP...

CS can't get C40's cause it's not a CNG depot...

did you really believe him... LOL

That's not true at all. There's 2 malls within walking distances, several schools, businesses, and bus routes.

 

Also, wasn't it originally planned to be an express stop?

If the ridership was there they would do it...
