Locomotion69 Posted February 27, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2010 WAKE UP ALL,THEY TOOK OUR EXAM MONEY,AND THEY STILL KNEW ABOUT THE BUDGET PROBLEMS. Are you sure about that Cosmo? What exam did you take and more importantly when? I took the 8006 back in 2008, if I remember correctly they gave it just 2 years after the 5025 exam in 2006 because they expected to hire a lot of B/O's at the time. I can understand how you feel, but we all need patience because the more you think about it the faster your head will explode. Take a deep breathe, relax. Best advice that I have read on here is to "take the exam and forget all about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted February 28, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 28, 2010 I took the test in early 1989 and got hired in late 1993. This isn't a job that you're gonna get in a few months or a year. BTW, I took the combined Bus Operator/Conductor exam and had list number 4001. If I can get hired, then with a little bit of luck you can too.

All I had on my mind was mtv and cartoons. I actually took the bus operator exam in 98 or so, went to the boss survey but they kicked me out 'cause I was too young or cause I didn't have a permit I forgot I was 19. I still have the letter. Could have changed my life If I was seriose about it at the time...O well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 28, 2010 Share #8 Posted February 28, 2010 I remember a friend of mine took an exam back in 1993 and didn't get called until 1996-97. It took a while back then so imagine now. Hang in there bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have had your drivers license for a minimum of 3 years to drive a bus for the MTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted February 28, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 28, 2010 Yeah I Took Conductor, Got A 96, Felt Good About It, Then Saw My List Number Was Like 1943, Got A Lil Down But Tried To Keep It Out My Mind But With Everything Going On Now I'll Probably Never Be Hired, So Pissed Just get a good grip on yourself. Eventually you will get called. You can't wait to get called because the process takes a long time. You have to work elsewhere while waiting for this. My oldest son took the last t/o test and a list hasn't even been established yet. I took the test in 1976 and got hired at the end of 1979 and only got one question wrong on that test.

Doesn't DCAS stipulate that all exam applicants MUST be 21 at the time of appointment, or when the list is established? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted March 3, 2010 Share #19 Posted March 3, 2010 Doesn't DCAS stipulate that all exam applicants MUST be 21 at the time of appointment, or when the list is established? Depends on the requirements for the specific test. For conductor all that is required is a high school diploma on the date of appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're both right, as I checked up on that. Especially if a CDL is a required, which it obviously isn't for C/R. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
