Express Bus Operator Posted February 16, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2014 Yup everything @Busoperator stated. Just want to add a little something on top of that. TA is also consider as a civil service. Both OA and TA uses same union I believe "TWU local 100" except for staten island depots uses "ATU" as their union. The pensions on TA is different compare to OA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusOperator3319 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 17, 2014 DueceDrives is correct the Pension systems are different TA is Civil Service OA is not. Queens and Staten Island are represented by ATU with differing Locals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNas Posted February 17, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 17, 2014 But don't forget... TA operators can go to the Mabstoa depots... And Mabstoa operators can go to Brooklyn depots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Bus Operator Posted February 17, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 17, 2014 Yes both TA and OA can work at any depot during their senority pick if the route line they want is open. As far the different pensions benefits and how it goes, not sure exactly in full details what is being offered between the two, but I know TA will be covered by the city of new york, so im guessing maybe similar to any city civil service worker like "Nypd, fire dept, postal service" you know. But maybe theres a site somewhere that may show us a little sample of how the pensions work in the city of ny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express Bus Operator Posted February 25, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 25, 2014 between ta and oa which one has better benefits n which one is better to work for TA has a better pension plan since its a civil service agency. Both OA and TA has same Union "Depending which Depot you work for" as stated above. Because TA is a civil service division, thats why they give competitive written exam where OA or BC only gives an BOSS exam. Your list number for TA is based on your Test score, Both OA and BC gives random list number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express Bus Operator Posted June 8, 2014 Share #20 Posted June 8, 2014 I just paid for the application, anyone know what happens now? Am i going to receive a letter on when i can take the test? The waiting game will take place @FatboyNYC. You will receive a first letter stating that they receive a payment for the application 4105. After you will have to wait until they send another letter to come take the BOSS exam. This can take months or a year. They are now working through the List for MaBSTOA Exam 3101 which was giving on November 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
