BusOperator3319 Posted March 1, 2010 Share #26 Posted March 1, 2010 what about from brooklyn/bronx/manhattan to Queens? thanks.You raised as very good question it is my belief that you must be a TA Bus Operator in order to do this someone correct me if I am wrong New York City Transit claims that the Distinction between New York City Transit and MaBSTOA is no more which is not true here is why they have two bargaining Unions TWU and ATU now the commingling between TA Brooklyn AND MaBSTOA only came about because TWU Local 100 Represents the Bus Operator in the Boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and The Bronx as we know Amalgamated Transit Union Represents Bus Operators in the Boroughs of Queens and Staten Island and I don't believe they made any type of Agreement for MaBSTOA Bus Operators to transfer to there Division, in order for a MaBSTOA Bus Opertor to transfer into Queens or Staten Island they must take the Civil Service test and then resign from MaBSTOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Hopeful08 Posted March 3, 2010 Share #27 Posted March 3, 2010 what about from brooklyn/bronx/manhattan to Queens? thanks. You can transfer from any borough only once to ATU Queens or ATU Staten Island. its a one time deal because of your union change. TA WORKERS ONLY NO MTA BUS OR MABSTOA, Yet.

Locomotion69 Posted March 16, 2010 Share #32 Posted March 16, 2010 $180.50 to renew your CDL these days, prior to Sept/09 it was $130.00. Valid for 8 years. Mine is going to expire in May,if I had known I would have renewed it last year. Eye exam is the only test that is needed. You can renew it by snail mail or online as well. But I prefer going to my local DMV. :tup: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After spending 3-1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and insane regulations at the Department of Motor Vehicles, a guy stopped at a toy store to pick up a gift for his son. He selected a baseball bat and took it to the cash register. "Cash or charge?" the clerk asked. "Cash," he snapped. He then apologized for his rudeness, telling the clerk that he had spent all afternoon at the motor-vehicle bureau. "Shall I gift wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly. "Or are you going back there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it go on how many endorsments you have or what class it is? I think I paid 130 in '08 and had to get a physical. And any little thing you do wrong there quick to yank it, and without any pleasure. Yes I know. They(politicians)use the NYS DMV to line their pockets. I just got my CDL B 2 years ago and my regular drivers license(class D) expires in 2 months. You had to get a physical because of the DOT Medical card regulations. The only thing about endorsements that they sent me is the (M)Metal Coil Endorsement, CDL drivers who have a M endorsement have to pass the written test again for that once your CDL comes up for renewal. Did you get your Hazmat endorsement yet Dan? It sounds like a very long process. Fingerprints,background check,written test...... _______________________________________________ * IMPORTANT For driver licenses that expire on and after September 1, 2009, there is a supplemental Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) fee of $1.00 for every six months the permit or driver license will be in effect. The fee is paid by residents of the five New York City counties of: Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Queens and Richmond (Staten Island). The MCTD fee is also paid by residents of the counties of Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester. The MCTD fees are marked with an * in the chart below. Class A, Class B or Class C - $164.50/$180.50* 1,2- Valid for eight years Class E - $112.50/$128.50* 1,2- Valid for eight years Class D or Class DJ, or Non-CDL Class C** - $64.50/$80.50* 1- Valid for eight years Class M or Class MJ - $72.50/$88.50* - Valid for eight years If you have a Class A, Class B or Class C CDL with an endorsement of H or X, you must pass the hazardous materials knowledge test at a DMV office within two years before your renewal and pay an additional fee of $5 for the test.

I haven't put my CDL to use either. You risk keeping a clean CDL by getting a job that is CDL related. It is a catch 22 I know, on one hand it is good to get some CDL driving related experience(on a bus) but having a clean CDL is a very big factor in getting hired with the MTA.

Hey All My License expires Oct 2012 also and it's no joke to be working by then. I checked out Academy bus and they're hiring for those interested in $10.75/hr. That barely covers tolls.. But I thought I'd mention if anyone interested. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i'm not going to bother with that now because I don't need it and the entire process will be probably over $200. Plus that written test is very hard and I'm not in the mood for taking a day off to go to the dmv and then if I fail I can't take it over. Bottom line is its nice to have but I don't need it.

I checked out Academy bus and they're hiring for those interested in $10.75/hr. That barely covers tolls.. But I thought I'd mention if anyone interested. d The problem is that their terminals are in NJ. Tolls and gas alone would run you around $100.00 week. Somebody once posted on here that they worked at Academy and they waited at one of their locations for a run to open up(being on call so to speak). Are they union or not? they do have nice looking buses. They have accounts with a lot of local pro sports teams, but I am sure those runs go to very senior drivers.

I thought they were union but didnt ask. Thinking about it on the way home that kind of salary dont sound union. Unemployment pays the same to sit home. He said more can be made with more hours. I wanted to say, yea more can be made with the lottery too. I'm not doing 60+ hours at this point. Looking elsewhere, it's out there somewhere.

Noflexdont Posted March 17, 2010 Share #45 Posted March 17, 2010 MTA pays for the DMV fees if your title requires you have a CDL. you have to fork it over the first time but after that the MTA takes care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princejv26 Posted March 17, 2010 Share #47 Posted March 17, 2010 If any of you guys are interested in a bus driving job, you're better of with Bolt Bus or Peter Pan in Secaucus, I hear they're hiring for the summer so when spring time comes put in your application at http://www.peterpanbus.com. I think they're looking for CDL license drivers though, they pay way better than Academy I tell you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should call "Help Me Howard" No worries Dan, it is optional, enhanced means you can use it to travel to certain countries like Canada,Mexico and some countries in the Caribbean, you don't need a passport. You can't use it for international travel though. Your fee will be $180.50. Speaking of fees, to renew your passport book is $75.00(good for 10 years). Even though I don't travel outside of the country, a passport is a good form of I.D to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
