TransitMan23 Posted June 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2009 Hello everyone, i'm on the waiting list for 2901 and was wondering how long is the wait going to be? I heard they were going to hire 1200 bus operators this year. When I call to 180 Livingston they don't know anything. They said they're calling 2801 and 2501(MTA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditja Posted June 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2009 it depends on your list #. since it's a random #, you do need some luck. if your # is 2000 or more. it's def gonna be a long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you say they won't start calling until the end of 2010, now you say not until this fall(09). It is obvious that since TA is the biggest bus division that the bulk of the 1,200 positions would be filled from the 5025 list. Gabchi: If this is true that is great news for you, the only other list going on will be the MTA Bus, which there are only 5 depots. 2 more months of summer left, 5 classes to go including the one that starts on Monday(20th). Keep in mind that only around 40-50% graduate from each class of 105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted July 19, 2009 Share #24 Posted July 19, 2009 ok kool...what list are you on? and what depot are u interested in? I am on the #8006, list #706, still a ways to go. That would be most likely the 3rd class from the list once they start hiring from it. Casey Stengel is my 1st choice if it's available. I want to stay in Queens, Queens Village, 2nd choice, Jamaica, 3rd choice. I asked this before on another thread, and I didn't get an answer. When does a list "officially" end? Is it when they reach the last list number? Or when they go through all of the "on holds" from the list after they reach the last list number. I know the 5025 expires in the fall of 2011.
