I also have a Class A CDL as well. However, as stated in the previous post, not only do you need to have the Passenger Endorsement, but you also need to take the road test in a bus as well. Whether you do this on your own through a driving school or with the MTA is up to you, however, at some point or another, you need to successfully take and pass a second road test in a bus. Mind I ask: Who specifically from the MTA requested this 'person' with a Class A license to downgrade to a Class B? Was it Human Resources? Was it the folks at 750 Zerega Avenue in the Bronx? Just curious, that's all.

First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, to make a long story very short, the Human Resources (HR) Department only offers a one-time employment with the agency throughout your lifetime and that's it. As another example, in February of 2014, I failed their 10-Day Bus Operator (B/O) Training session. When I got called for another open-competitive position off of another open-competitive civil service list, and I put down the fact that I failed their 10-Day B/O Training session, they also used rule 4.7.1 (c) against me, which is commonly known as the "1-in-3" rule. Finally, after waiting a little over five [5] calendar years to try again for the same title, they also used rule 4.7.1 (c) against me as well, which is the famous "1-in-3" rule. Sorry to break the bad news. My advice: Just move on with life, that's all.

First of all, welcome to the Forums!! Second, as per the guidelines of the website, we ask members to "post in the relevant forum," which can be found here. Although I briefly went through the hiring process 10 years ago, to make a long story short, probation is hard, however it is definitely worth it, especially since you can move up the ladder to other positions, such as Dispatcher, Superintendent, etc. Good luck!!

Interesting...as they say, "treat others the way you want to be treated." That's just me. By the way, welcome to the Forums!!

First, Congrats!! So you made the December 31st class and January 3rd, three days after you got hired, you had "union day," and the following day you reported to Castleton? Did you have to complete the 10-Day Bus Operator Training Session or no? From what myself and other went through, this sounds "awkward," however that's just me... Again, Congrats!!

According to https://www.facebook.com/groups/mtabus/posts/6934369786632834/?comment_id=6934493363287143: "Stuck brake on 484, they discharged at 47/50 to troubleshoot the issue and are now announcing that the rest of the runs are cancelled…presumably in an attempt to get everyone to leave."

Probably and most likely not. Somebody mentioned on Facebook the word "smoke," which isn't good to begin with.

According to https://www.facebook.com/nytransitmuseum/posts/pfbid027KgNpqb2RAr2PywzFFKgvG7H4KMk4jXdiijNL1EvRV45vJJMruvzq9Q7PR7J8TpKl: "Due to mechanical difficulties, the remaining Holiday Nostalgia Rides have been cancelled. Thank you to all who joined us for this season's rides. We look forward to seeing you again in 2024." Anybody have any insight as far as what happened? Thanks in advance... Happy New Year!!

I agree 100% because, as I learned the hard way, without the applicant's knowledge, the agency will produce a "memorandum" as you can see below, in which the last line, with the exception of a typographical error states "Comments on overall performance either indicate consideration for rehire in a title other than Bus Operator, if successful in the selection process, are not recommended for rehire in any (other) title." In addition, if I recall correctly, if you fail the 10-Day Bus Operator Training Session, not only is the candidate prohibited from retrying for five [5] calendar years, however, at the same time, you are only eligible to try again for the same agency. As an example, I failed the "TA" Bus Operator Training Session and I received multiple "1-in-3" letters for MaBSTOA and MTA Bus Company. I will agree that this is "unfortunate," however, at the same time, it is what it is.

My apologies if I am a little "late" in replying to your post, however, if you check out the Civil Service List Certification webpage, by simply typing "Bus Operator" into the search box, located on the top right hand side of the screen, as of today, the folks at DCAS certified 546 names to the Human Resources Dept. at NYC Transit for the title of "Bus Operator." Therefore, providing your name is on this certification, which you can verify yourself by typing your last name into the search box, located on the top right hand side of the screen, hopefully you will hear back from the agency before the end of the calendar year. Good luck!!

First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, as of this typing, if you check out the Active Civil Service Webpage List, if you type "3601" into the search box, and put the exam numbers in ascending order, you will see that this particular list has not been published nor established. When this happens, I will try to update the blue announcement box at the top of this webpage as fast as I can. Again, welcome to the Forums!!

First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, from my perspective, I'm personally not surprised by this, since it seems that they need people, however, that's just me...

First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, what is your current title? I don't understand what "MHB" stands for. Thanks!
