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!

Just went in for my pre-employment and drug testing at 180 Livingston on wednesday Aug. 15. If i remember reading correctly in the past that It usually takes anywhere to a  week to 3 months to get called back for medical. Correct? Also any idea the email address i should be looking for for that follow up?

Evening all... my list number 71** and I just got a letter to start pre-employment for the 27th of July. So please check your mailbox 

The above post, which can be found here, should answer your question.

I usually call the evening of the first Sunday of every month when it's updated. I called earlier this month, and, according to their automated system, they are up to the 6700's. Personally, between you and me, I find this site more helpful than that automated system, which is normally updated once a month.
