My list is the 42## range. I know this exam is set to expire 2024 I think in January, any info on if this exam may get an extension? 

Also anyone in the 3900-4000 got an pre employment email yet? 

Thank you

100% this list gets extended, the list was established in 2020 but they didn’t start calling until 2021. 2025 Jan seems more likely the list will expire if anything.

You get an unlimited MetroCard stamped with with either LIRR or Metro North. You can only choose one. 

Majority of conductors on either line will honor your pass regardless, but once in a blue you'll run into a prick or someone new that has to follow the rules. 

Not sure why you think parking expense is a thing, but it never has been.

12251 have been the lightest and most comfortable for me so far.

23130 is something new. How's do they feel?

Not so much needed but if the opportunity presents itself you can bid or pick for it

I think it also depends on what kind of trucks you are able to drive depending on which endorsements you gotta have

You need a class B license with an A permit to bid on the spot, but you will need tanker and hazmat which would allow you to drive while you wait for transit to send you to get your A license
