BusOperator3319 Posted August 8, 2009 Share #152 Posted August 8, 2009 Yes, Its easyI had the car drive by and pull over right where i was suppose to turn, so that made me screw up that turn My instructors in JFK depot was Terry C, and in flatbush was Hernandez what depot you in ? Dont listen to that that much, I see people do that all the time Lots of times get close to the car in front of you on the bus stop and then you figure out that the driver aint there OPSSSSS Today with in 10 hours I backed up 1 time myself ( about 3 feet ) and I seen 4 other drivers back up at different places. I stoped at the bus stop right behind another driver, and as soon as I loaded up I see a wheel chair comes up to the bus in front of me. Oh shoot I thought as I seen that So i drove back. I'm in West Farms Olegkha now i have to finish up on the ALSAPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted August 8, 2009 Share #155 Posted August 8, 2009 The first day is up at zerega though, correct? And you are doing paperwork all day...do they give you a manual to study? My husband was called to start on August 17 for training class at zerega They give you the manuals of all of the buses that they use, RTS, Orions, MCI, but you have to give them back. It's important to know as much about the bus as possible. I am trying to find a RTS operating manual, either on Ebay or on RTS-BUS.com. I will assume that the training buses are mainly from the 90's. Igor: Remember that photo with those 2 buses parked in the lot in Red Hook? Well the lot is on Beard St between Van Brunt and Dwight streets, near the Ikea. If anybody is ever in the area look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the Instruction Manual I believe that is yours to keep it doesn't have the type of Buses that you will learn to drive it has what is expected of you Day1-Day6 im not going to say Day7 because that is the First Qualifying Day in order to Qualify and it is of utmost importance to read it so Locomotion69 while you are waiting to get called you should get those ALSAPS drilled in your head because you have to remember the Six steps in Sequence order to do the Air Brake Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know my ALSAPS, practice them quite often in my mind. You don't have to touch the fast idle switch at any point during the air brake tests right?

Dont touch fast idle, leave it on at all the times alsaps are easy, but dont try to remember it like the book tells you. try to understand what each step is dor, and that will be easy, alsaps is very easy, and very logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditja Posted August 9, 2009 Share #170 Posted August 9, 2009 because it is the easiest shif, if you like to be up whole night long No dispatchers, drive as slow or as fast as you like , who cares about time points No traffic, no riders There was 20 minutes last night, the i had ZERO people on the bus, I do mean ZERO. then I picked up 1 person and droped him off about 5 minutes later. That is all around 1-2 AM. Figure in about an hour or two, there will be 40 minute runs empty i did a 'hawk' run on B3. they like to take the bus 24 hours a day. so the bus wasn't empty on any trip..... but in flatbush, forget it. i got people stand up to the white line 1 in the morning:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB2RTO Posted August 10, 2009 Share #172 Posted August 10, 2009 Olegkha I sent you a Message that I haven't gotten a reply to and that turn off of 14th Street on to Park Avenue we did that Yesterday an Acute Angle it's not hard at all you just have to know where to line your self up at and when to start cutting the Wheel my Instructor is a great Guy and is very hard on us and I don't complain because I Total Understand where he is coming from it's dangerous out there it aint hard but it aint easy either and we did the El Pillers today that wasn't hard at all just get your space and clear the Stanchion we were up in the Bronx With Queens Division, Manhattan Division, and I believe Brooklyn Divsion but we had it a little easy where we did it there were no parked cars but the other Operators from the other Division boy did they have a tuff time maneuvering Between Parked cars and the Stanchions demonstrating the pivot point There is this 1 Young Guy Im Young my Self Mid 20's but it just seems like he's bringing my Training group down you definitely don't want anyone like that in your group he didn't complete the hook turn the correct way and did not clear the El Stanchion so my Instructor Chewed him out because we had to back up under White Plains Road and you never want to back the Bus Done it on the parked car side, but since I had coach USA training (with cones), it was easy for me. Far easier to see El pillars, than orange short cones. My instructor, just said turn here, and get out of the seat........ i did a 'hawk' run on B3. they like to take the bus 24 hours a day. so the bus wasn't empty on any trip.....but in flatbush, forget it. i got people stand up to the white line 1 in the morning:confused: Like the Bx36. This is why when a West Farms dispatcher who I know asked me to do an overnighter as overtime, I asked which line, he said the Bx36, I said nope, Goodnight....... And around what time does a hawk run usually end? Before the AM Rush hour period? Usually after. You have an am rush trip or two, or three (the Bx19)........

ditja Posted August 10, 2009 Share #173 Posted August 10, 2009 And around what time does a hawk run usually end? Before the AM Rush hour period? run 1 usually around 12am - 1am, so it ends around 9-10am. i think run 1 to run 3 consider hawk runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted August 10, 2009 Share #174 Posted August 10, 2009 run 1 usually around 12am - 1am, so it ends around 9-10am. i think run 1 to run 3 consider hawk runs Ok, I see, thanks guys. So no matter how you slice it or dice it a B/O is going to have to work through either an am or pm rush hour. I am talking mainly about the local routes. I read in the Chief online edition last week that they are holding classes for new B/O's at TWU headquarters on the UWS. I can copy and paste the article in here if you want. Anybody know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
