B/O 4600 Hiring Process


Message added by +Young+

BUS OPERATOR #4600

List Status Update: 1/16/22 The list for this specific exam has been extended to January 6th, 2024.

Training: See the DOB New Hire FAQ topic for more information.

Next Scheduled Class: You will be scheduled with candidates of more recent Bus Operator exams (which are pinned), so check those threads for more information.

For those of you who wish to restore your name to the list, you must do so by sending an e-mail to certificationunit@dcas.nyc.gov. In your e-mail, state your full name, exam number, list number, the last four of your social security number, and a brief reason why you're restoring your name to the list. You don't have to go into full detail in the e-mail.

For those who will be reporting to Livingston Street in the future, click here for the pre-employment packet and click here or for extra pages of the CPD-B booklet (if you need them) for final processing.

Next, for those of you who are still waiting, you folks might want to check out this and this YouTube video. In addition, if you need help getting your Class B CLP (Commercial Learner's Permit), I would encourage you to check out cristcdl.com which is free!! Remember, the multiple-choice tests you need to take and pass, at minimum, are General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsement.

Finally, if you need to make an appointment at the DMV to take the multiple-choice examinations for your Commercial Learner's Permit, click here.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We're here to help each other.

Good luck!

If I had to take an educated guess, they go by list number. Therefore, out of everyone that was there, including those that got their names reinstated to the list, the smaller the list number, the faster they will contact you for medical and final processing. The bigger your list number is, the longer you have to wait.

 

At this point it's the only fair way that they can do it. They also go by list number when it comes time to pick the Depots @ Zerega.

Offhand, have you looked at the handouts? Hopefully they'll help, especially when it comes to the pre-trip..i

i have been looking over the book that was given out at orientation its very help full so far

after driving the bus for the second time today i feel more comfortable than when i drove on day 1

I'm doing good on my turns just have to work on 4 ft space a bit more

4 ft of space is very very very very important. Get your 4 feet of space and in busy streets with a lot of traffic take up 2 lanes if need be. I do it a lot especially on Northern Blvd, which my routes I drive go on. I can't tell u how many times I would have taken someone's car door out if I didn't have 4 feet of space lol. These knuckleheads just open their car door without checking the street behind them probably 10 times a day lol.
