Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 19, 2011 That's Union politics for you. Anywho, you guys rock... One of the best depots in the system if not the best IMO for maintenance and clean buses. Being an BM3 and BM1 rider I would know. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that union based tribalism crap conjures up images of Jar Jar Binks & the Gungans from The Phantom Menace. I`m NOT anti-union. Unions are a necessity. I'm anti-union based tribalism.

Some are TWU 100, and some are ATU locals. Far Rock, JFK, and Spring Creek are all ATU IIRC. OA and TA Brooklyn are TWU, whereas Staten Island, and most of Queens is ATU If I'm not mistaken. I don't have the list right in front of me, but I'm almost positive that's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OA, TA brooklyn, and 126th st are local 100 as well as Eastchester and Zerega. so pretty much manhattan, brooklyn and the bronx are all local 100. im not sure about LIB but yes, most of queens and SI are ATU. but they have 2 different locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted May 25, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 25, 2011 LIB and Suffolk are all TWU Local 252. Other than the privatization crap, I haven't heard much complaining from 252 about LIB employee pay or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depots that are mta bus local 100 is eastchester, yonkers, college point, basily park and LGA. The mta bus depots that are atu is far rock, jfk, and spring creek. Think god after I finish my training class from day 1 to 7, my depot will be college point. Today was day 2 for me. So far so good. Had a great day today with my tight turns up in the bronx today, from acute turns and ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that u are in training for a b/o since u mention the whole 7 day cycle. good luck b/c those 7 days can turn into 10 if you hit something or the instructor feels you need it. remember, you only get 2 chances. i you fail the first time, go and take the test in a school bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow I have to do the el pellers in the bx. Also I have 3 yrs and half years from cttransit, which we drive mci for the express, novas, cng, and the 2010 60ft artics. So I'm using my cttransit skills with my listening skills from my trainer. One thing I'm doing is acting cocky, that's why I'm doing good. After day 7 if I can make it, my depot is going to be college point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit and listen to my instructor 100 percent and use my cttransit skills. Tomorrow is day 4, we going to do some el pellers in the bx.

So we have 100 routes, which all of them comes in and out of the city though all the tunnels and ect. We even had stops though out the city. That's where I kind of got my lil bit of experience from. I drove in the city yesterday and did pretty good. #2 my S/I is mr. Vazques and I'm training out of ENY bus depot in brooklyn. I'm doin el pillars today in the bx:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
