About the Mabsota/MTA Bus exam for next year, you file,pay the fee, wait for a random list number in the mail, then wait to be called for the BOSS, is that the way it works?

Locomotion69 Posted October 22, 2009 Share #66 Posted October 22, 2009 I know that TA is the preferred way to go over Mabstoa and MTA Bus. Just curious, actually only interested in MTA Bus as an alternative. Just wondering if the theory about taking as many mta exams as you can just so you can get your foot in the door applies.

Locomotion69 Posted October 24, 2009 Share #72 Posted October 24, 2009 Also the pension plans are different. TA is in NYCERS and Mabstoa and MTA Bus aren't. Somebody who is on the 8006 list asked me if they work 10 yrs then retire,what kind of pension are they looking at more or less. I think you can vest out after 5 yrs. I am going to guess that for 10 yrs, it would be around 20% of your last years pay or the highest of your last 3 years pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Gaysinsky Posted October 24, 2009 Share #73 Posted October 24, 2009 any news with the 5025 exam is it done or what list number they r up 2 on it i`m waiting for the 8006 exam to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted October 24, 2009 Share #74 Posted October 24, 2009 any news with the 5025 exam is it done or what list number they r up 2 on it i`m waiting for the 8006 exam to start I wish I knew what number they are up to on the 5025, no, that list isn't done yet. They should be around #4,000+all the people who were passed up for whatever reasons who had lower list numbers. Somebody did post on here once that they do call from both lists at the same time, for example once they reach the end of 5025 they start using 8006. However since the 5025 list doesn't expire until the fall of 2011, the people on hold from the 5025 are still active. Is this correct or not?
