+Young+ Posted January 17, 2014 Share #2135 Posted January 17, 2014 And I really wanna go to Queens or brooklyn....no Manhattan Good luck with Queens...I heard that Queens and Staten Island have very high priority, especially since it is very easy for the guys who either live in Long Island or New Jersey. Also, for those who are about my progress...by this time tomorrow night I will post my status on the medical hold. I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rm3271 Posted January 17, 2014 Share #2136 Posted January 17, 2014 From what I heard at Zerega there will be a class every two weeks. Not just TA, there will be OA and MTA Bus also. Everyone will train together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will train together. Rm3271 Congrats on making it on day 7 knew it wouldn't be a problem for you. I have a question about the process like your self I have been driving for some time now. I am trying to sharpen up when I am on my routes push and pull, covering brakes on the stale green lights, covering mirrors on turns. Are these the type of things the instructors are looking for. Also did you have any bad habbits they corrected you on. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like weekends off u can get them much quicker on Staten Island, about 4 years vs 8-10 years in the other boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leelorimatt Posted January 17, 2014 Share #2146 Posted January 17, 2014 Hey guys as far as I could understand that TA is for all the other borough except Queens which is for MTA therefore if you work for TA you can't choose a depot in Queens.
