  1. If a MTA, TA, OA , B/O lives in New Jersey they also need a medical certificate
  2. Don't take the posts for gospel think for yourself, what was good for one may not be good for you. The instructors are not your friends they make it tough because it is tough job. If you can take their abuse you might be able to take the abuse from the public because you have to bite your tongue sometimes so not to say something stupid to a customer, say the wrong thing and it's out the door.
  3. Stop reading these posts they are not helping anyone. Just listen to the instructors follow their instructions and hope you do well enough to pass.
  4. Wait until you pull into a stop with 30 or 40 pe ople waiting to get on who say they have been waiting 45 minutes and your bus is loaded. That when you will see the people at there worst. The instructors are nothing compared to that. Believe me I know of what I speaking about. I did it for 25 years.
