Snowblock Posted March 28, 2014 Share #2780 Posted March 28, 2014 Oh by the way i hear if a customer spits on you there is nothing you can do only if youre bleeding then the motorman and you can call it in and for no reason can you keep a train in the station. So if you need to make a report then you wont be able to until your shift is up for minor things and people can report you then have you suspended while transit takes their time to investigate. We all know how fuked up new yorkers are especially the ones riding the subways, bums, teenagers, the ones that think your a peasant for working on a train etc You can refuse to move the train until control dispatches police & medical to you (ALWAYS ALWAYS request police and medical in the event of any customer assault, no matter how minor). If they try to give you any excuses then tell them to send a TSS and another crew to relieve you, because you are no longer fit to operate.

Xentor Posted March 28, 2014 Share #2781 Posted March 28, 2014 You can refuse to move the train until control dispatches police & medical to you (ALWAYS ALWAYS request police and medical in the event of any customer assault, no matter how minor). If they try to give you any excuses then tell them to send a TSS and another crew to relieve you, because you are no longer fit to operate. Yeah that's true. Regardless though you're still gonna take flak from control for not moving the train and even the TSS might not be entirely on your side when it comes to spitting.

Weather3120 Posted March 28, 2014 Share #2783 Posted March 28, 2014 Does anyone know about parking your car in the yards? I received a score of 94.555 and my list number is 2,620 so I am thinking I shall get called around October, November, or December which is cool.. I rather drive to work then take the bus and train as it will save me a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather drive to work then take the bus and train as it will save me a lot of time. I am not sure you'd even be allowed to drive your car to work from what I've been reading on here. At the rate they are calling people you might be called a little sooner than that even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather3120 Posted March 28, 2014 Share #2785 Posted March 28, 2014 Well I hope its later then sooner as I am now collecting a pension from the Federal Government . I retired last year with 35 years of service, and collecting 2,600.00 net with Federal taxes out and my medical. There is no state/city tax on pension. And if you can drive to work why not it's easier and will take you less time right. I hope you are wrong with this. But I know there is parking in the Corona yards at #7 train so was thinking its light that throughout the system but if you know please share thanks...

RTOPRO Posted March 28, 2014 Share #2786 Posted March 28, 2014 Driving your car to work is one of those gray areas. First, the authority provides you with a lifetime pass which is also your ID. That pass is your insurance against being late and should you be involved in sometime of accident where you are injured the authority will compensate you. Second, if you are involved in a car accident on your way to work and are injured you will not be compensated for injuries. In turn if you are able to call in about your inability to make it in to work and you are within 2 hours of your report time you will be subject to punishment for a late sick call. If you are unable to call in and no one else does it on your behalf you are likely to be deemed AWOL and subject to disciplinary action as a result. Third, parking in the yards can be difficult depending on the time of day. They are not only used by the RTO division - the division which is responsible for your the title in which you may be employed soon. The yards are also used by outside contractors, DCE - Department of Car Equipment, MOW - Maintenance of Way which includes the following: Track Dept, Signals Dept, Infrastructure Dept, Third Rail Dept, etc. It's not to say parking is impossible, but it means this. If you have a subway station near you. Use the trains as often as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal 1 Posted March 29, 2014 Share #2795 Posted March 29, 2014 I asked the same question for my child....I was told no, pass is only for you. But maybe someone else knows a better answer There is no better answer. When you get to orientation all will be explained. They'll also tell you that if you are caught letting anyone else use it you will be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll also tell you that if you are caught letting anyone else use it you will be fired. The last page of the orientation packet says something about enrolling in TransitCheck Premium program or something that seems to include transit passes and it was you can share that with a family member or friend. Closest thing I can see I guess although I don't know how that works or anything but it looks like you have the option to pay into that every month and get a transit pass through that with pre-tax income. I don't understand though if we get a free transit pass with our ID why would we opt for this? I figure I will get answers in orientation though unless someone here knows first.

RTOPRO Posted March 30, 2014 Share #2797 Posted March 30, 2014 FYI: Your pass is for your own personal and professional use. You are not to allow a spouse and/or child borrow or use your pass in anyway shape or form. Doing so can and will likely subject you to disciplinary action. Your pass is good for use on any New York City Transit subway turnstile or NYCT Bus. Your pass is not for use with LIRR, Metro-North, MTA Bridges and Tunnels, Express Buses, etc. TransitChek will is for filling in the gap with all of the above mentioned services your pass does not cover. Especially those who do not live within the 5 boroughs and must travel lengthy distances for your daily reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
