+Young+ Posted January 2, 2014 Share #1951 Posted January 2, 2014 Okay, so for those who are still ...this is what happened: Fortunately someone drove me to the 179th Street train station. The commute itself was fine, except that while in the Rutgers tunnel, which connects Manhattan and Brooklyn, there was a work train in front of us, and apparently on that work train the brakes went into emergency. As a result, the train ride took me a total of 70 to 75 minutes, compared to 55 minutes according to TripPlanner. Next, myself and others were waiting in the lobby since the HR lady did not arrive until 7 AM, compared to 6:30 (which I thought). Went upstairs, got a number and lined up at 7:30 AM. About 45 minutes later I was cleared by HR, in which I proceeded to medical. In medical, they took another urine sample (to check for sugar and protein), did a EKG, vision and hearing. They also took our weight and blood pressure as well, which were fine. Next, one of the medical doctors called us. Had a brief conversation then the doctor checked us out. Unfortunately, the doctor who checked me out thinks I have muscular dystrophy. Therefore, I was placed on medical hold. Shortly after leaving 180 Livingston Street, before getting on the subway, I called my regular doctor and made an appointment on Thursday. As a result, I will be back down at 180 Livingston Street on Friday, whether we have 2 or 10 inches of snow. Happy New Year everyone!! Okay, so came back from my family doctor and this is the update: Unfortunately I am not going to 180 Livingston Street tomorrow. I went to the doctor and my primary doctor is going to call the TA physician to try to find out what is going on. If it is something minor, then I am hoping I can go down on Monday. Worse comes to worse, I have been given a referral for a neurologist that is a 30 minute walk from where I live. I plan on calling the neurologist tomorrow, make an appointment ASAP, get a clean bill of health and go back down to 180 Livingston Street as soon as I can.

Fuoco Posted January 3, 2014 Share #1952 Posted January 3, 2014 Hell yeah he had us on thrid ave and lexington ave but I did a artic route today it's not that difficult the rear end follow everything you do in the front. And lmfao about that M35 route I heard thats the penny route smfh I heard the passengers give you guys pennys and then ask for a transfer lol Dude sometimes they just ask for a transfer straight up.....and then get off the bus. That line is no joke I'm going to avoid it like the plague...literally lol I hit the farebox buttons so much and with all the different noises from pennies and transfers it's like I'm making some crazy ass beat on an MPC.

If you just do what the instructor tells you to do, you can pass the training. If you're having trouble study the manual and watch your classmates when they're driving, the amount of effort you put into it is what you'll get out of it. Stay calm, be confident, don't rush. If you like driving then this will be fun for you, I love driving and now that I have a feel for the bus it's alot more fun since I know how to use my mirrors and identify turns. I just had a permit.
