WannaBeMTA12 Posted December 15, 2013 Share #1626 Posted December 15, 2013 Why people get fired. Because they don't follow rules. If people fall on the bus when your moving and you stop hard. The bus jerks and people fall that's on you. Learn how to used the brake and take your time don't speed if your( Hot )your done. Watch your front door when you shut it people like to put their hands in it to catch you before leaving. When people get on your bus wait for them to pay and move to the back or over the white line. look at your mirrors and call out your stops if you don't do that you will get fired for that. The key is to take your time drive safe. Good luck all. Hey RTS Do BO get reprimanded wen they have people overcrowded in the bus? Wen i used to go to high school I took the Q43 and drivers used to fill that bus....to the point people would have to step off the bus to let ppl off and then get back on....I used to be that passenger that would stand right with the Run # thing the BO scroll their paddle number on before they start their run. U know y they can't blame it on u? Because they have hand railings for ppl to hold on to while the bus is moving. So if they fall that is they fault. The driver not losing is job cuz of that. I knew a driver who worked for Command was was later absorbed into MTA Bus He got fired because a car rear ended him while he was servicing a bus stop. All jokes to the side...that's what really happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All jokes to the side...that's what really happened. So sometimes that can happen. When the bus is overcrowded you can tell people if they want to wait for the next bus it is coming. Your follower should be there soon. That Command driver could of had a bad record I seen a lot of driver's get canned from NEW YORK BUS SERVICE and green line . It's not a joke people think they can do what they want. Like coming late to work and calling out whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the depot exactly? Close to any trains? No trains run around there. U would have to take the e, j, or f train to Jamaica than take a bus to the depot. I take the q36 takes u there. It's around by Belmont Park racetrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted December 15, 2013 Share #1643 Posted December 15, 2013 I would think any shift would be good after or before rush hour. Less traffic - less people - less chance of something going wrong at least for the first year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS4Life Posted December 15, 2013 Share #1646 Posted December 15, 2013 When your done with line training. You will not pick a run. they will put you on the extra list. You have to call in the day before to find out what you will be doing some days you will be sitting around doing nothing other days you will work.You might work late,early,mid day,afternoon,drive all the type of buses in your depot.
