I see what you mean, in your case definitely pick the B division so you would rarely ever have to go to the Bronx. 

Thats my plan. If all they have is A I wont be able to stick with this job.

The A division with the terminals for the 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 trains. The D train is the only line in the B division in the Bronx.

I’m better off in Division B myself then. I live literally in the heart of Queens. I start Monday. When are you able to pick the division you want to be placed in?

[beanz]

B division is most in need so I'm sure those of u who want it will get it. A division is another story. One of the classes that came out not long ago got a huge surprise on their last day of school car when they were notified that even though they just completed A division training, they were all getting sent to the B. Instead of being released to the screw office they stayed in schoolcar and road posting an addition 2 months. 

 

The ones that lived in the Bronx can still be heard sobbing if you are quiet enough at ps 248.

Great! And that’s not bad at all. Is the the only yard that is basically out of the way like mentioned before? Meaning it’s bronx/manhattan yard. I’m familiar with the area since I worked all over manhattan and bronx for work.

I guess if you live in Queens Coney Island yard is pretty far as well. The other yards we go to the most are Pitkin yards and East New York yards in Brooklyn, and Jamaica Yards in Queens.

The coney island one isn’t far from me. Only thing is there’s always traffic there in the mornings or afternoons. But I live about 30 mins of driving from Coney Island maybe even less if I go there early in the morning like 530am. Jamaica Yards is close too like 15 mins for me. East New York isn’t too far either that’s about 20 mins for me right now And Pitkin Yards is about 25 mins. So not bad at all. I’ll definitely go with Division B. Only one is 207 I gotta pretty much travel a bit further out. 

[TOSironi]

at 207 and East New York I was never able to find parking in the yard or even outside so I take the train when I go there.

I’ll keep that in mind. If it ain’t too bad to get there by public transportation then I will do just that.

Yeah I heard about that! Crazy shit!

 I can only imagine driving from the BX to Coney Island to be on board at 0500 and pick up a job at 207  Then finish work and go ALLLLLLL they way back to Coney Island to pick up your car and drive back to the BX. But they expect you to get full rest...

Just reading past comments im thinking that medical calls should start going out a month before the start of the next class which im hearing is June 20th. Its giving hunger games vibes so May the odds be in our favor lol. We got this guys!!!!!

Well I should be getting a motorcycle by the end of next week. Definitely not trying to deal with that traffic. Thanks for the advice and knowledge

For anyone who is dreading School Car you're already putting yourself in a bad position. It's nothing to fear, it's called School Car for a reason you're in school. The only thing you should worry about is trying to stay awake after lunch. I'm in school now and it's not bad at all. It might seem overwhelming at first but it gets better. Create good habits and you'll be fine. I have one of the strictest TSS who co-authored the current text books for school and I'll tell y'all what he told us," You're going to make mistakes, this is the time to be your worst as a TO because there's only one direction to go from the bottom..". Study and get there early, on time is late.

Great info! appreciate you telling us new hires this. I start tomorrow and i’ve already heard from the past that this is a really hard job. So I know to expect this to be tough. But of course we can not let it get to us and like you said just study and be early and it’ll be alright. Can’t wait to meet some of you guys.
