Are there any class in session at the moment, if so what day are you guys on and when did the class start?.... Trying to see if that current class will be the last class temporary since the dept of buses is on emergency slow down due to the virus epidemic. 

I'm in the March 16th class, and as far as my buddy told me he made it into the March 30th class. After that I don't know.

Hey guys. I was going to be in the March 30th class. But its been postponed. They said they will inform when the next available class will be as soon as possible. I hope I don't have to reinstate myself again and go back to 180 livingston. 

 

The DMV is also closed so even if we had class they suspended road tests. I think thats part of the reason why because some trainees need cdl B licenses after training. 

 

But its okay. We waited this long I'll have to wait a couple more weeks. I'm optimistic. 

This situation we are in is going to pass guys. We will get through this. Stay safe guys. Stay as much as you can indoors and away from other people. 

Tomorrow they're going to start a treatment plan for people that are sick. Theres like 3 types.  1 is an anti-malaria treatment thats been around decades. And another treatment that takes plasma from someone who is recovered and injected into the body and fights this corona virus.  And theres something else coming as well that I forgot what it is.

 

But anyway don't let the anxiety overwhelm you. The reason why they're freaking out is because how contagious it is and how it's unknown and how it could overwhelm a hospital.

Its still dangerous but just relax. The media and Mayor are still playing oogey boogie man. This mayor is the most incompetent mayer I have ever witnessed. Don't give in on his BS. He will give you more anxiety.

 

Stay safe guys. By the time we are in the next class its going to be nicer weather.

Thank you for the update. However, at the same time, as per the guidelines, if we can stay on-topic, it would be appreciated.

Thank you.

You usually go to Jamaica Depot for the Nova/Xcelsior training. I wonder what they'll be doing differently. Keep us posted!

Yeah it was to keep us spread out. Eventually we all met up by JFK and did learned a few different models of buses. The Xcelsior/nova is nice but the brake system is a bit different. Got used to it after a few stops but all in all its been good. have to go to a different depot monday. Still have not gotten to do a pick yet. There was a lot of people who had to go to day 9 and there are some that still have to go to day 10. I wish them well.

Oh And to the permit Men and women. The MTA has a really great learning setup. Like top notch. If i was to compare with a driving school, your basically getting like 8000 bucks worth of driving school. You'll have plenty of time to learn the DMV road test and all that extra good stuff. We got to visit where they train. I am super impressed.

You figured they would go somewhat easy on the students in a time like this instead of sending them to Day 9, or Day 10 for that matter respectively. By the way, where did you do your Day 7 Qualification?

Then I probably saw you without you even knowing it lmfao..

They told us everything has been put on hold. There was supposed to be a class going in on the 30th but, it was postponed until further notice.

Also check out the YouTube tutorials. A few members on here have them posted. However, all training is suspended at this time.  Everyone here be safe. Pray for our brothers and sisters who are at the forefront working on these lines. Whether it’s surface-subways and buses  (NYCT) and (NYCT) and (MTA) bus. EVERYONE BE SAFE. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
