    I know this is off topic but this is a random thoughts thread, I plan to pick out of GH this upcoming general and go to KB. Anyone knows which are the better lines and the ones to avoid. I've only been at GH.

    Yes, thanks for the suggestion Snowblock. I will ask for some study materials. But I know there are classes given. Does anyone know where and who to ask? And yes I know i misspelled the topic, typing fast. LOL.

    Ok, I have a question. I'm aware of the upcoming promotion to surface dispatcher exam 4700 which filing starts on July 10th. How does one study and prepare for this test. I have the Passbook "Surface Line Dispatcher" by National Learning Corporation, but I don’t believe the information is relevant. I spoke to a MaBSTOA Dispatcher today and was told the book is a waste of time. You need to know formulas, memorandums, how to calculate pay, etc. So I ask the question again, how can I obtain this information? Are there classes? And if so how can I sign up? I would appreciate anyone who can help.

    Hi Jay,

    Racindave here from Saugerties NY. Are you a full time bus operator now? I applied for the Bus Operator MTA 2301 Open Competitive RB exam but have not heard anything yet. How is it going if you are there?

    Thanks,Dave

    Hey Gun Hill is cool. Routes are cool for the most part, even though this is the end of week 3 for line training and i haven't did every route yet. I start artic training tomorrow, looking forward to that...I guess. Just waiting for graduation and finally being on my own and making a wrong turn along my route. LOL.

    Ok thanks for the advise bro, that's what ever one keeps telling me that I'm going to be fine just listen to the trainer, the only reason why I'm nervous b/c I'm not trying to mess it up. But like what you and everyone else said that I'm a head of the game, maybe I just have lil bad habits I have to adjust.

    Hey I never drove a bus, let alone a large vehicle before this. I was super nervous and still am. They love people like me b/c I don't have any bad habits. All the advice I can give u is to listen to ur instructor and trust him. Personally I think 6 days is not enough time to teach someone to drive a bus especially if u haven't drove a large vehicle b4, but I made it on day 9. The biggest thing for me was using that pivot point and putting in my mind that I'm driving a 40ft bus not a car. But again just listen and follow ur instructors direction and u should have no problem. You've already driven a bus so ur ahead of most.

    Hey jay what's man and first of I would like to say congrates on making it bro and good luck to you. Ok since I have 3yrs going on 4 yrs with ct transit, what are the chances of me getting though zerega, because I start on the 23. I know they went me to drive the mta way so what u think?

    Thanks for the tip, the plague, well that sounds pretty bad. i'll make sure to stay away from that. yeah i did get an answer, I sent u a message.

    Now i do believe that there were some people in my class from a different exam but not many. Most came from the 8006 exam. And regarding the other class I'm not sure but I would assume that most of them are from 8006 also.
  12. jaydubs36
    Thanks man, yeah I was excited knowing I was able to pick Gun Hill, looking forward to the start of hopefully a good career. There are 37 that qualified. There is another class that started this Monday.

    Cool, great that u guys had good day 1's, and thanks for the info between West farms and Gun Hill, I picked Gun Hill and start line training tomorrow. I was checking the bus map, the routes out of gun hill definitely seem better than west farm. It seems that I made the right choice! AWESOME!!
  14. jaydubs36
    Yeah I wasn't ready for day 7 due to the curbs I hit on day 5 and 6, but I qualified. I Should find out what depot I'm going to tomorrow and start line training on by friday. Does anyone know anything about Gun Hill or West Farms depots?
  15. jaydubs36
    Thanks man! Its been a long process, I never went through anything like this for a job before, but hopefully the last process I have to go through. And yeah I did have to wait until day 9 to qualify, the instructor thought that an extra day of training would be good since I hit a curb on both day 5 and 6. You must always use those mirrors. But I'm freakin' excited. The hold thing from the time I got the notice in the mail to now has been so crazy that when the instructor said that he is going to qualify me It really took time for it to all sink in.
