Igor Gaysinsky Posted October 9, 2009 Share #27 Posted October 9, 2009 let`s see here yea ur right at that point but i suggest to him to get the lincese on his own time because he will have less of a heaD ache to worry about with the lincese all he needs to do is pass the mta`s road test way and not the dmv way. but if a permit he has to do both dmv`s and mta`s way.

akuma04 Posted October 14, 2009 Share #38 Posted October 14, 2009 What are the chances to get in with MTA if you pass the test and how long will it take for them to call you and start working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primomjr78 Posted October 14, 2009 Share #39 Posted October 14, 2009 Akuma you need to score very high to get called. You need mid 90's or better to get in the MTA for most titles like Conductor , Train operator and Track worker. If you score an 80 or better on the bus operator then you are good .

Will-Bx-718 Posted October 15, 2009 Share #43 Posted October 15, 2009 What are the chances to get in with MTA if you pass the test and how long will it take for them to call you and start working? Yeah just as JR said you need mid 90's or better for most titles to get in and it usually will take 2 years or more for you to get hired. 1 year them to establish to list of eligible and another year before they start calling people. Sometimes it can be faster than 2 years. It took them 1year 9 months to from the time I took my exam for S/A to be called for an interview and drug screening. So my advice take as many exams as you can that you "Qualify" for. Unfortunately you missed out on the easier test's to get a job with (Station Agent, Property Protection Agent, Conductor and Train Operator). This upcoming year will be a dry year for taking any (NYCT) test unless it's with MABSTOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid Igor that you don't qualify, don't waste your money. You don't have the 2 years of full time work experience. Just having the Automotive technician diploma from Lincoln Tech isn't enough. It's 2 different job titles rolled into 1. I thought bus cleaner and bus maintainer/helper were 2 different titles. All of this for just $13.61 hr to start? You can probably make more working at a Jiffy Lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscurida Posted November 11, 2009 Share #49 Posted November 11, 2009 Hello all. I sent out all the required forums and applications for 3001. 1 question that i have off the top of my head is - My CDL permit expired 7/17/09 "dumb me" I am and will get a new one before the test date for this exam. Would that have a impact on my application? cause i did put the expired date on my permit and noted that it will be renewed before test date.
