You have to wear a light blue buttoned shirt and dark blue khakis-like kind of pants. If you’ve seen the kind of shirts and pants conductors wear then you get the idea. I’d recommend KAKA bag because you’ll be carrying a lot of books. As for school car simply be on time, pay attention in class and don’t use your phone. Take notes on what the TSS’s are saying. They’ll tell you the key things to study so make sure you pay attention to those things. Also the 2 main thing to know as a conductor are the platform and conductor’s indication board. Know which side of the platform to open the doors and the conductor’s indication board(board with white and black stripes) is what tells you all doors are inside the station.

Also to add on to the other person comment. In school car if you don't understand something or have any questions ask your TSS they are there to help. At first it will be a little overwhelming because everything is new but you will get it. Good luck 👍🏿

How late in the day do they do fingerprints. Will they get to everyone or just send you home after a certain time

I think they do it up to 4:00 or so. Last time I was there it was getting late and they rushed it in. I remember I was waiting to take the photo and called me to quickly do the fingerprint. Once you’re in there they can’t send you home.

They rushed us up for the ID photo because that person left at 4. Then sent us back down to be called normally for fingerprints

So, 

final process do you get a date for orientation? Or do you still have to wait on an email ?

You get the date for orientation after you do the fingerprint & photo. They give you the paper in person.

[Mel2024B]

So most likely that would be the date you’d resign from your current job ?

Yes. That’s the day you’re given a hire date.

I would purchase that very soon because you’ll be getting a lot of books & stuff on the 3rd or 4th day
