IronboundNJT Posted October 12, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2011 NJT hires B/O part time only during training which is 15 to 20 days (can't remember exactly) longer if your garage has artics pay is 10 dollars increasing to 15.07 after it. Being part time you only get 30 hrs/week which isn't promised. In order to become full time you must build 520 hours behind the wheel operating. After you bcome full time it's takes 5 years to reach top pay which is 25 and change sorry for not know exactly. Garages can either be all exact fare (fare boxes) or ny and exact fare depots. On ny route buses you have to make change for ppl. They have straight pieces of work AM PM straights and AM PM trippers. Trippers are what you will make any money off at NJT. Union is ATU. That's as much as know if 553 comes across this he can probably give u more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transitfan007 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted October 13, 2011 Would it be a wise to apply for NJT while I wait on MTA? It wouldn't hurt. There are numerous applicants out there including myself for the 2301. Just look at it as a gamble with today's economy. I am also considering (NJT) because I live in NJ but still work in Bk, wouldn't mind working out of @ SC. Ironbound thanks for the input!:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronboundNJT Posted October 13, 2011 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2011 Would it be a wise to apply for NJT while I wait on MTA? I'll be honest with you. Not a bad gig, but if you choose to go thru with it do it only as a side job to have a lil more pocket money. You wont be able to properly live off of the money you make their some weeks I made my 30 others giving them the same amount of time made betw 12 - 17. I kno this is more of a MTA site than anything else but anyone who reads this specific forum if you apply for NJT as B/O and they call u back and get into training and you already have a job DO NOT QUIT IT!!!!! As i said above your hours can and will vary unless you get a really cool scheduler who gaurantees you the same work on a week to week basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarob1020 Posted October 13, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks for the info...I hear that NJT only starts off PT B/O's. Its some type of experience I guess while waiting for MTA. I looked into SC and I wouldn't mind working there either. Ilike there routes and the 22XX buses on the express lines. But i would love either ECH or CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronboundNJT Posted October 13, 2011 Share #13 Posted October 13, 2011 I could be wrong but when they listed the garages and how much you make @ each one.

Once the year is up then ill be back into my sinority slot where i belong. So guys who ever is getting hired from exam list 2301, make sure thats the depot you want if not, you will have to wait till the genaral pick which is every jan. Then you will lose your sinority for only a year unless new classes start coming in behind you. After the year is up you will jain your sinority back in place;).
