Handouts for Student B/Os Handouts for Student B/Os (NYCT, MaBSTOA, and/or MTA Bus)

[+Young+ 691]

So after receiving numerous private messages (PMs) and requests asking me for the URL link to these handouts, I decided to make it easier on all of us by making a "pinned" topic with these handouts, including the interior & exterior pre-trip checkoff list (last two images). Therefore, here they are:

(PAW = Power Steering Fluid, Antifreeze, Windshield Washer Fluid)**

(GOAT = Gasoline, Oil, Antifreeze, Transmission Fluid)**

(CAT = Cuts/Abrasions/Threads)**

Enjoy!! If you have any questions about these handouts, please do not hesitate to ask them in this thread/topic.

My apologies for bumping this thread, however I have good news to share!!

Thanks to @SoSpectacular, I am pleased to share with you folks the "handouts" that the Department of Buses distributes to the students to help them prepare for their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) road test. Some of these particular handouts can be seen in this thread/topic, respectively.

 

(The first three handouts are referred to in this YouTube video from approximately 9 minutes, 6 seconds to 10 minutes, 30 seconds:)

(The next two handouts are referred to in this YouTube video from 11 minutes, 22 seconds to 11 minutes, 48 seconds:)

(The next two handouts are referred to in this YouTube video from 12 minutes, 52 seconds to 13 minutes, 34 seconds:)

(The next three handouts are referred to in this YouTube video from 14 minutes, 35 seconds to 14 minutes, 40 seconds;)

(The final two handouts are referred to in this YouTube video from 15 minutes, 45 seconds to 15 minutes, 56 seconds:)

If you would like to practice, but you don't have access to a bus, I would encourage you to watch the last thirty-two seconds of this YouTube clip. As they say, "everything happens for a reason."

Good luck!! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Just try to be as specific as possible, compared to asking a "general" question.

Those are great resources!

Remember, practice practice practice!  Memorize those - you should be saying them in your sleep by the time the road test comes around!

Talk to one of the staff members and take it from there.

Thank you!

Anyone have copies of the Dept of Buses evaluation forms? I can't find mine and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic from when I started in 2012

Hey, when I click on the links to these Handouts. It says 'PAGE NOT FOUND'. How can I fix this.

**Want to give an update**

As of March 2023, The new training buses will be on the New Flyers XDs. Students will be assigned for the 7-10 day initial training out of  Brooklyn Depots, MJQ "Manhattan", and the Bronx, The new student instruction "Handbook" will have information based on the New Flyers buses instead of the Orion NG's hybrid buses. The current class at Zerega 7-day training is currently training on the New Flyers and will be the new training bus going forward. 

As part of the mentor line trainers, we were promised to receive the new student handbook once there are available.

Thanks for the update. So that really spells the end of Orion?

Yes, Flatbush is a prime example, where most of their Orion is basically out. That's why you see some of Jamaica's Depot New Flyers transferred out and went to Flatbush and elsewhere.
