  1. The "initial" vaccine is mandatory. The "booster" shot is optional.
  2. Follow the instructions which are in the green announcement box located at the top of this webpage. Should be self-explanatory.
  3. So 42 divided by 60 equals 0.70. Move the decimal point two places to the right, and you got a 70%. According to the top of the first page of the Notice of Examination, which can be viewed here, it states the following: "MTA New York City Transit anticipates hiring provisional Bus Operators approximately two months after each examination period ends. Candidates who receive a passing score on the examination will be considered for employment based on their multiple-choice examination scores." In addition, if you look at the Proposed Answer Keys, for Exam # 2611, the last examination was administered on May 14th, 2022, so maybe the middle of July? Only time will tell.
  4. I actually disagree with the prior post. As far as a study guide, I would use this and this NYPD Test Prep Kit. Just note that, while the context of the examination will be similar, the examination we will be taking, or already took (for those who took Exam # 2611) are geared towards a Bus Operator's position and not a Police Officer. Here are a few examples: -For the memorization, which I highly recommend you take seriously, it will be the picture of a single fictitious bus route compared to a crime scene or suspects or anything to that nature. -For the Reading Comprehension, Written Comprehension Written Expression, Problem Sensitivity, etc., everything will be based on a Bus Operator's position, such as reporting or following instructions from your dispatcher, a basic question involving the pre-trip, etc. If you want more help with the memorization, send me a Private Message (PM) and we'll take it from there.
  5. True...we'll see what happens. Thanks for the encouraging words, I appreciate it.
  6. With a list number in the 2200's, I was there this morning from approximately 7:30 to 8:15 AM. If anyone saw somebody on the "stocky" side wearing a white polo collared shirt with black jeans with black sneakers, it was me!! As I reflect on the paperwork that I submitted, one of the things which I regret doing is listing the fact that I failed the 10-Day Bus Operator Training Session back in February of 2014, especially since the bottom of *this post* came to my mind. As a result, at approximately 8:15 AM, one of the employees called me up and stated that since I worked for the agency in a different title, the "Hiring Manager" has to review my paperwork and get back to me. Therefore, I would not be surprised if I get another "1-in-3" letter, respectively. (*Although I quoted a post which is six years old, why is it that the agency is still using the 1-in-3 rule? Therefore, is it just me, or is this part of the on-going "corruption" within this agency to begin with?*) Good luck to everyone else out there!!
  7. So I got my Admission Letter in the mail today for Exam 2612 on Tuesday, July 5th, 8:30 AM at 180 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn. However, it states the following: "As stated in the Notice of Examination, you are required to pay a $20.00 Exam Processing fee in the form of a money order that you MUST bring to your test." Does anyone else's Admission Letter state this? How come we did not have to pay a Processing fee for Exam 2611? Thanks in advance for the replies, I appreciate it.
  8. Definitely! The only three things you have to lose are the following: a) Study time b) Taking the exam on a Saturday or Sunday c) The application fee ($68.00) As they say, "you never know until you try," right?
  9. Back in the day, I was a mathematics major, therefore: -If you got 42 questions correct, 42 divided by 60 equals 0.70. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 70%. (NOTE: This is the passing score.) -If you got 45 questions correct, 45 divided by 60 equals 0.75. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 75%. -If you got 48 questions correct, 48 divided by 60 equals 0.80. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 80%. -If you got 51 questions correct, 51 divided by 60 equals 0.85. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 85%. -If you got 54 questions correct, 54 divided by 60 equals 0.90. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 90%. -If you got 57 questions correct, 57 divided by 60 equals 0.95. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 95%. -If you got 60 questions correct, 60 divided by 60 equals 1.00. Move the decimal points two places to the right, which gives you 100%. (Congrats!!)
  10. As for a reason, I would say "Take an educated guess and go with it." (Feel free to send me a Private Message if you want me to personally elaborate.) Since this is the next "Civil Service" examination, there will be a future date. At this point, no one knows when it will be. Perhaps three months from now? Perhaps six months from now? Again, "Take an educated guess and go with it." Nice, right?
  11. I was just trying to answer your question above, especially with the last three words you wrote. That's all.
  12. As far as your questions are concerned, see below, which is self-explanatory, especially when it comes to "fame-hungry douchebag." And if my Moderator status does get revoked because of this, I would not mind personally revoking these handouts on my Flickr page, and these videos which are on my YouTube channel which have helped so many other people on this website. After all, "treat others the way you want to be treated," right? In addition, weren't you folks looking for concrete evidence, regardless of how old the image is? And if you don't believe me with the quote, then I really wonder why the R32s were pulled out-of-service so early on Sunday, compared to making all of their scheduled trips?
  13. I just sent the Private Message. Feel free to send me a reply when you folks get a chance. Although I modified your quote, as I look at this picture, which comes from Flickr, why is it that there is only one person displaying his red TA pass around his neck, while everyone else in the picture does not have their TA passes displayed? (Hint: He's standing on the right side, in front of the gentlemen wearing the older TA vest.)
  14. I'll send you a Private Message (PM) within the next couple of days, based on what else unfolds as a result of what happened on Sunday and the remaining Sundays, regardless if I'm there in person or not.
  15. If we're talking about the same person(s), as of this typing, their YouTube channel(s) did not get shut down...let me know. If I "think" it's the same person, I would not mind doing the honors...let me know.
  16. (Credit goes to @Dj Hammers) Enjoy!!
  17. Nice job with the thread! As you can probably tell, you "bumped" another thread/topic, in which the last post was made over three [3] months ago. Therefore, going forward, as per the guidelines, if you can please keep this in mind, it would be appreciated. Thank you!
  18. They're not preparing these cars out of 207th Street Shop, where the rest of the Nostalgia Trains are prepared?
  19. The phone number which is listed on the bottom of the first page of the pre-employment packet is (347) 643 7413. In addition, you can also try (347) 643 8229/30/31/32 as well. If you still have trouble, I would suggest reaching out to the "higher ups," whose contact information can be viewed here. Good luck!!
  20. I understand where you're coming from, however, we'll see what happens as time progresses. After all, none of the older Nostalgia Trains have ran since before the pandemic began, and with the fact that the evidence I previously posted is self-explanatory...we'll see what happens as time progresses.
  21. To make a long story short: This only happens around the older Nostalgia Trains. If you want to see more evidence, send me a Private Message (PM) and I'll be more than happy to share this with you. If I get bombarded with several Private Messages (PMs) in regards to this, I'll post it for everybody to see.
  22. No. The maximum amount is four [4] points. Just make sure that this is paid and you do whatever you can to keep your license/abstract clean as best as possible.
  23. Unauthorized personnel being on the property, which includes the storage yards and having people around 3rd rails who are not Track Certified. If you need more evidence, I would encourage you to check out this and this link, which comes from this YouTube video. Should be self-explanatory.
