If I recall correctly, these folks were from the March 16th class, which was the last class before the pandemic, right? Therefore, the class that is going in tomorrow will be the first class in this "new normal," correct?
Good luck to those reporting to Zerega tomorrow for Day Zero!!
Yes, I was apart of the March 16 class but, they had split us up between two groups. People who chose to go on unpaid leave and people who chose to clean buses. The people who went on unpaid leave graduated almost 2 months ago while the people who chose to clean buses just started line training. This new class starting today is the first one since March 16.

Just want to chime in on the run part, guys who just graduated we're able to pick steady work due to the numerous amount of runs that are open. I'd advise to stay XL until you know all the lines in your depot though.

Plus, it's a Sunday as well, right? I haven't been around Zerega lately, however, if I recall correctly, on Sundays you do not have to pay the meter, correct?
You'll find a free spot with no meters right infront of Zerega or down that wide block with cars parked at an angle from both sides.

Yes you get like 3 books . I took the picture for my pass today. Im starting Sunday at zerega. To anyone driving from Staten Islam to zerega for training, try to be there 2hr earlier to get a parking spot everyone else take uber or bus . Parking is not joke .
good luck everyone!
Nah don't stress about parking. You'll find a spot easy cause the school bus companies are still closed.

Day 0 will now be on Sundays, training superintendents will be working Sunday - Thursday with Friday/Saturday off. That means that training will more then likely be held on Sundays for day 6. Keep your head on a swivel, when I first started it was hard and scary to adjust. There should be a class starting on the 16th made up of all OA, the next TA class should be sometime in September. If anyone has any questions about training that's been going on in the recent months can PM me, I don't know much but, I can help.

@luiggi0102 so we are not expected to quit our jobs before the 10 day training class and just take a leave from work. and if we pass the 10 day we don’t give our current jobs any notice. Ok thank you so much for confirming. I am grateful for this opportunity just feel a little bad leaving a job without notice.
Maybe tell them you might be leaving? Haha, I did that with my old job, gave them a nice 30 day notice, used up my vacation time and all and then quit on the 7th day I qualified officially. Transit will make you fill out a Dual Enployment form on Day 0 to which they deny by default lol.

MTA is having budget issues, they cant afford a shuttle
It's more so they don't have enough operators to cover the shuttle, let alone regular weekday service. They also have special B68's that start at Church and McDonald and go down to Coney Island Ave via regular route.

I also did my application and submitted it last saturday and Hr also called me about incomplete paperwork. we went back and forth a couple of times but everything worked out. So today I got another email telling me to report to 180 Livingston for a Pre Interview on Friday July 31st I don't know what that means but they want me to bring my birth certificate, SS, and CDL. Does anyone know what would the process would be like ? My list number was 26**
Probably review your paperwork followed by a drug test. Right now Zerega is clearing up the backlog of students they put on pause due to COVID and it looks like they'll be done with the backlog by the last week of July. Good news is that means they should be starting up a class as soon as the backlog is cleared.

Any updates on what list number they are currently at for exam 7104?
Don't expect them to hire off this list, slowly but surely they are phasing this title out it seems.

so durning the pandemic they tried to limit work with inspections because it was skeleton crew many people was out sick but with tgc and other emergency work that to be done it was a lot of ot so before and during it’s been ot
it all depends on what you are working weather it’s Maintenance days or night , or capital days or night, capital tend to report to different locations daily and stay out for bit but Maintenance can be the same way depending if your a specialist
I find every task enjoyable because I am a worker only task I dislike I would say is flagging but it saves lives so I take it serious everyone do
Do you know what the current count is for Track Workers, meaning how many people are on the roster.

Did anyone else get the email today about “redoing” the preemployment stage? Prior to COVID I did go down to Livingston and I did the paperwork and drug test in person. So I’m curious if there asking anyone else to redo the paper work? The exact wording: “MTA NYCT is canvassing names on the Bus Operator -- MaBSTOA Exam 9100 list in anticipation of making appointments. In order for you to be considered for this position, you must respond to this canvass, complete the enclosed pre-employment application form and submit any required document(s) to indicate your interest. Your response must be submitted to, xxxx@xxx.com, no later than Wednesday July 15, 2020.
Just curious if anyone else got it?
One of my co-workers did. Transit is getting ready to hire like crazy. Get everything in order and be prepared to be called down sometime soon. Everyday there's tons of open work, mass retirements, right now they requested 5000 names from DCAS to fill 600 vacancies, and that doesn't include OA and MTA BUS.

Incase anyone is wondering NYCT has requested 5000 names to fill 600 vacancies from exams 4600,7612, and 9604.
And a new exam has been announced for MaBSTOA Bus Operator. Looks like it's about to be a hiring frenzy soon.

Even with a hiring freeze in effect, is there a chance they'd be able to slip in a small class of 65 or fill those 65 vacancies over the next few weeks? Or does that mean absolutely 0 hirings at all?
Hiring Freeze just means that any hiring that has to happen must be approved by a slew of directors, they still have multiple positions that they are hiring for.

My condolences, @beanz.
If the student messes up (hits a signal, overrun), it is not on the trainer. Trust me on this one. Schoolcar is not always a safety net; depending on the number of infractions and what they are, the probie can get terminated.
I know people aren't perfect. Just do your job to the best of your ability, and don't lie if something happens. Managers will come down harder on you if you lie; down here, the cover-up is worse than the crime.
DO NOT USE THAT SITE!
As for everyone else:HAVE PATIENCE.
I was on the list from the 2009 test. I didn't get hired until 2012 because of the hiring freeze, and that's even with my list number being 56.
There is going to be (another) wave of mass retirements once The Plague settles down; it is starting to happen now.
Sit back and wait. It will come to you. Trust me (and @RTOMan will back me up on this one).
I know ya'll are short T/O's right now, what about C/R's?

NYS DMV

Jun 1
Commercial Driver License (CDL) road tests will begin to resume in all regions that are in at least phase 1 of reopening. As regions enter phase 3 of reopening, DMV will resume road tests for all drivers. Safety precautions will be required.
NYS DMV cdl road tests to resume. Even though that was june 1st and we will probably go into phase 2 this monday, the ball is in mta's court. I tried calling 180 livingston to ask when they will resume tranining, I didn't get an answer. I tried emailing someone they didn't respond.
I think they are waiting for staff and setting up 6 feet and plexi glass things at the offices at like 180 livingston. So lets keep our fingers crossed. All offices have a certain amount of capacitiy. So I think we will be getting go aheads soon. Probably have to take another drug test and do some medical again.
180 Livingston has been closed since March and should reopen this upcoming Monday. You technically can't get a permit till we're in Phase 3, to which if everything goes on time we should be in by July 6.

Although I like your post, as per the attached picture, I thought there was a "hiring freeze" in effect? Any updates?
They're not going to have much of a choice when retirements skyrocket and you need crews. Right now from what I heard T/O's are in dire need, not too sure about C/R's. They can't even hire new B/O's unless they have license because permits won't be obtainable till phase 3. All I know is that 180 is set to open when we hit phase 2, after that they should be hiring slowly for service delivery positions.

Anyone have any thoughts on how long until the list begins to move or is it on hold indefinitely for the remainder of year?. Hope everyone is safe.
Hopefully sooner or later, 180 is scheduled to re-open by phase 2. RTO is in dire need of bodies right now, MoW I'm not too sure. I'm currently a Bus Operator and staying in my position until I get called for Track then I'm jumping ship. Hopefully we start to see the ball rolling around Julyish for us.

Just to let some of you know. Due to the pandemic in our city class 3:16:2020 and other classes before us that didn't get to continue have been given option to continue as Bus Cleaners or to stay home. I personally choose to help disinfect and clean buses because I am TA and I took an oath to defend our country and state all enemies foreign and domestic and corona virus is definitely considered an enemy. Ill let you guys know when class 3:16:2020 continues with bus operator training.
Yeah man all of that, Which depot you ended up in?
