nycpips Posted December 4, 2013 Share #1376 Posted December 4, 2013 How did u do today? Did pretty well no major issues just have to cover that right side. Another thing the insructor's are not there to teach you how to drive they are there to fine tune you to the MTA way of driving. So if you never drove a large vehicle go get some lessons in before training start BS. They get u ready to pass the road test or else they wouldn't waste money for u to fail. I know plenty of drivers who were fine on day 7 who never drove a bus before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Bus Operator Posted December 4, 2013 Share #1377 Posted December 4, 2013 ame="DEE77" post="734043" timestamp="1386163267"] BS. They get u ready to pass the road test or else they wouldn't waste money for u to fail. I know plenty of drivers who were fine on day 7 who never drove a bus "They must of taken lessons somehow or who know . The MTA is not preparing you for the DMV road test, They are drilling you how to Drive Their bus the right way. The school Bus is different and MTA bus length is different compare to the school bus you drive on the road test. turning Right and left at curbs or intersection takes practice and skills turning on the Mta Bus.. And Some people are built to drive anything and manage to pass without practicing. And We have to remember, This is a high paying job compare to what some are offering, So wasting their time doesnt bother them when they have Plenty of Candidates waiting.

This is direct from someone on the job 2 yrs. " They prefer u never drove a large vehicle before. If u come in its like they can mold u in there image. If u drove before they say they hafta break all ur bad habits. They go harder on ppl who drove before. They prepare u to be fully capable of passing the road test" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE77 Posted December 4, 2013 Share #1379 Posted December 4, 2013 nycpips I dont know if you on the job or your waiting to get called but trust me if you go in there and they cant work with you they are going to let you go. Who cares about who you talking about that went in with no lessons and passed thats good for them but everyone is not built like that. Some people go in there with CDL's and fail I'm just saying if you a person that will be intimidated by a larger vehicle go get lesson so you know what it is before you go in there waste your time and get dropped. Dont take what i say personal if it dont apply to you it just dont but it's not BS. Like I said THEY DONT TEACH YOU HOW TO DRIVE THEY JUST FINE TUNE YOU TO THE MTA WAY OF DRIVING.

Fuoco Posted December 5, 2013 Share #1385 Posted December 5, 2013 How did ya first day of driving go? It was the second day, we all drove for about an hour each. Started doing hook turns and acute turns, I kissed the curb on one turn but besides that instructor didn't have any other criticism for today. Howard Beach is more bustling than East New York so it was fun to drive with all that energy around, combined with the narrow streets where you gotta have your angles spot on or you're gonna take off someones mirror. Gonna send us to Manhattan next week so we'll see how that goes....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess wat that mean was the person with list # 20 didn't have everything in order & he hand to come back a fee weeks later & he was the last person hired.
