Calling every day about the status of the lists that you are on isn't going to speed things up. When your time comes it will come. 1-718-ABSORB IT,that is the number to remember.

You are a good guy, you are hungry. Good things come to those who wait. I bring this up because you were thinking about driving a school bus for the time being. I saw a hat online that said "Don't mess with me,I am a school bus driver." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to do that since I was little boy to. Now that I drove cheese buses, motorcoaches, and transit buses, I don't even want to drive my bus size SUV, or any vehicle for that matter........... But again, weez all different. Driving buses, some love it, some hate it, most just tolerate it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hiring freeze is does not affect bus drivers/ train operators/ and conductors. There will always be a class called for the bus operator training class wether its for the promo list or new hires. How do I know I work for mta bus but cannot get into specifics as to my position....their are strict rules about posting on the internet information and representing the company etc..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably work in another title. So this "hiring freeze" is just a rumor then? You need access to the "crew room" in here which is a private section. But I believe only some of what you just said. There is no such thing as a B/O promo list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a B/O promo list.No I am not a B/O but I am working in another title thats non-rep. I did drive for Academy shortly after not qualifying and their training is more concentrated so if anybody really wants a feel of driving and they are not working right now I highly recommend working for academy. I was doing charters and atlantic city runs using their mci cruisers and j-models.however When I was training for the mta I asked the supt. about the last hiring freeze he said they still were training 105 students every 2 weeks. maybe the just call from 1 list during their hiring freeze instead of three.

Locomotion69 Posted January 11, 2010 Share #69 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh,ok. However this time around there are proposed service cuts which would mean layoffs for several B/O's. It is still too early to tell what is going to happen this spring. Academy has nice buses on their fleet. I wasn't aware that they hired people with no CDL driving experience. On the charters how far did you go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the charters how far did you go? Yeah they have a 2 week training program like the mta after you certify you do atantic city line training then your on your own. I am way more confident now in my driving and turning then I was when I was training with the MTA. Plus I got 8 hours of driving every day..the only difference they have a different mirror setup they have a flat/convex /cross convex and a fisheye mirror. where as the mta when training they just have flat mirrors. The furthest south I went was atlantic city/philly and the furthest north is the Mohegan sun. Trust me though you will not drive any of the good buses without 6 months of clean driving..and they have drive cams that activate if you swerve or jam the breaks so that will count against you. There are alot of retired mta guys there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted January 12, 2010 Share #73 Posted January 12, 2010 its in hoboken, nj right through the tunnel. http://www.academybus.com/ I sure hope you didn't drive there every day from Queens. You took mass transit to get there right? So would you say that the MCI's are a little bit easier to learn how to drive then the RTS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D4500 is a whole different animal than the RTS. Driving the big square cruiser takes a lot more getting used to than RTS does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
