subwaydriver Posted January 30, 2013 Share #1433 Posted January 30, 2013 Anybody know what the parking situation is at ps 248? They said there's st parking but what time and how long? Is it metered? Or, if I were to take the train from LI, where's the best place to catch the d or n? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can park on the Street but mind the signs on where to park, you can try to park in the lot by the school but you might need a decal. Since the cops use it as well...

traintrain Posted January 30, 2013 Share #1436 Posted January 30, 2013 yes, you can park on the street...you might have to drive around the 1st day to get familiar with the surrounding streets and signs...and by all means...WATCH THE STREET SIGNS... you will get a ticket or your car towed...street parking is free I strongly suggest...DO NOT PARK IN THE SCHOOL parking lot... If you are coming from L.I. you can catch the D or N at Atlantic Ave/Pacific St station in Brooklyn...follow the signs and always CALL 511 BEFORE leaving to make sure those trains are running...there is a lot of work being done on the N line and if you need to come to Brooklyn too early in the morning N might NOT be running at that time I am not sure if they are issuing badges right the way when starting the job....but if you have to take the train and pay for it, i suggest to purchase an UNLIMITED MONTHLY metro card...this way if trains are askew every so often and you will have to switch to bus more than once,then you do not have to pay twice.. ...but hopping transportation will be FREE for all from day 1....hope this helps !!!!!! and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ny Trucker Posted January 30, 2013 Share #1437 Posted January 30, 2013 I heard there are only two types of trains you learn from in the Division A. Can anyone tell me if this is true and if so what type of trains are there?? P.S. I also heard most candidates don't pick the A Division because geographically Division B is more closer to there resident. in the A div there are R142/142A and R62/62A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subwaydriver Posted January 30, 2013 Share #1438 Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks guys. Parking was a breeze. Had a spot right in front. Tomorrow's street cleaning, different story. 3 days and counting of hr type stuff. Ooof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinetics Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1439 Posted January 31, 2013 Not to hijack this thread but how is the parking, in general, around the all locations where training is held? Just wondering because after making it past processing, I want to know if I have to take the subway or drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success7 Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1440 Posted January 31, 2013 I also heard from my TSS yesterday that there will be another class of 40 T/O's starting the end of February and another class of 40 starting in March. That is all they know about so far for this year. There may be a slow down after that, they will still be hiring just not as frequently. So make sure you have all your ducks in a row if your looking to get into one of these next 2 classes. Anyway my class only has about a month and a week left. Only thing left to do is road posting and final exam. We started with 10 and are down to 7. Good luck to you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subwaydriver Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1441 Posted January 31, 2013 Curious what happened to the 3? Drop outs? Attendance? Background checks? Failed a test? PS, how do I set up direct deposit? While in school car, will our checks come here or to our station we chose during picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then your check will be at your pay location that you picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BX Girl Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1444 Posted January 31, 2013 Just a litle bit of advice for those that haven't gone down for the drug test yet - get there early! I got there @ 7a and already had quite a few people there already. I did get out by 10a though. But if you get there at 7:30a, you'll more than likely have to wait forever to have your pre-employment papers reviewed - which means you'll have to wait that much longer to give your sample to the lab. And that wasn't any fun on my part because I started drinking water 4:30a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1445 Posted January 31, 2013 Which pre-employment papers reviewed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BX Girl Posted February 1, 2013 Share #1446 Posted February 1, 2013 Which pre-employment papers reviewed??? They send a pre-employment app with the initial drug screen letter. That application only asks for 10 years. And the one you leave with (21 page app) asks for everything since H.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinetics Posted February 1, 2013 Share #1447 Posted February 1, 2013 It's annoying they wouldn't just tell us we needed that up front. A half day spent at the ss office could have been done prior. Try remembering supervisors, jobs and dates from 20 years ago....It was cool though. You get to experience & see the process first hand. As opposed to reading about it on the forums.

trainman Posted February 1, 2013 Share #1449 Posted February 1, 2013 Lots of you have been extremely helpful in giving the "heads up" & the "411" on the details of this process. Thanks again!!! Keep the info coming... Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering because after making it past processing, I want to know if I have to take the subway or drive. Each place is different just gotta go by the signs in the streets thats the best i can say.... Since you don't have a decal yet it makes it harder. BTW anyplace in Downtown Brooklyn you have to go to take the train difficult to park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
