You might spend at least 2-5hrs depending on how many people before you and time to report. But that depends on if you have all your ducks in a row before you get to livingston.

I know, but given due to covid and if you have all your paperwork in order and what not, it shouldnt take no more than 2 Hours just to pee in a cup.

If you qualify day 7 you get 2 chances at the road test. If you qualify say 9 or 10 you get 1. 

It's still two attempts if you qualify on day 9

@lornaevo yeah

[mattfutureconductor5]

After pre screening, how long is the wait to go into mini training and then road test?  I want to go find a job and practice driving a  bus , currently an Amazon Walker and  custodian. I have been jumping to jobs  to jobs sadly. I have never driven a bus before.

I was Originally called on 06/10. They called texted, and email. I went to 180 Livingston on June 15th to do the drug test. On June 17th at 8:45 am I received a call from one of their staff analysts saying that I missed an appointment for the physical. I explained that I just did the Drug test less than 2 days and he said that they called and spoke to me, which did not happen. Then he said they sent an email that should have his first and last name as the sender not the usual NYCT employment. The e mail went to junk mail since it was sent from a different email. I asked to go to do the test but he instructed me that the class is starting in 3 days and because of Juneteenth holiday, I have to reach out to DCAS and restore my name. 

I reached out to DCAS who said that my name is already on the list. I emailed NYCT 3 times and heard nothing from them. I went to 180 Livingston 3 times only to be told that: " there is no vacancies for TA Bus Operators" despite seeing other candidates who were 300 numbers after me on the list there and when I told them that they said that this is misinformation. The numbers  were clear; there was no misinformation there they started classes on June 20th, July 4th, July 18th. 

Since I was receiving generic messages from them, I started doing interviews for other jobs. Thankfully, I received an offer for a job with private company. Now, I was contacted by them to go do the preemployment again with no clear indications of when I will be called to do the physical or what method of communication will they use this time ( some applicants get emails, some get phone calls). 

Now, I have to respond to the other job offer from the private company but I am worried that if I refuse it, I will not get the NYCT call and I end up losing both.

They seem to operate with no oversight or standard procedure and no regards to anything. Their staff analysts and labor relations analysts do not respond to inquiries as if these inquiries are from street beggars disrupting their post pandemic dine out. Is there any one in charge of the hiring unit that we can reach out to to improve the dismal hiring procedures? Are the staff analysts held to any professional standards or even common human decency?

First, welcome to the Forums!

Second, have you tried reaching out to the "higher ups," whose contact information can be viewed here?

Finally, if you still feel annoyed, in which you feel like you got (f-word) in more than one way, which seems to be the case, I would type a direct letter to Governor Cuomo, the Federal Transit Administration and Sen. Chuck Schumer. To make a long story short, I also got (f-word) by them as well, and, as a result of reaching out to these folks, not only are they looking into my situation, but I could tell that what I went through will never happen again. The more information you disclose in these letters, the better it will be.

(For Gov. Cuomo and the Federal Transit Administration - their mailing address are located at the bottom of the webpages. If you decide to mail the same letter to Sen. Schumer, just make sure you include this Privacy Waiver form as well.)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

You're definitely gonna recertify around the time you qualify because I also came from school buses and I still had to fill out a 19A form when I qualified.

@SoSpectaculargotcha yeah I just updated mine last month so lol

Welcome to the Forums!

When you submit the pre-employment documents, you do have to e-mail a copy, or a picture, of your license, social security card and passport. In addition, when they invite you down to 180 Livingston Street, you also have to bring them with you as well.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Same thing happened to me, they put me on medical hold for something that I knew I didn’t have. I cleared the medical hold 5 days before my class started and the person who invited me to 180 Livingston nor the employment center staff ever replied to my emails or answered my phone calls to make the appointment to go and take the paperwork before my class starting date. Suddenly 4 days after my class started Nov.8 they replied made the appointment after I finished doing everything it was completely silence from them going back to not answering again at last after two weeks the person who invited me said there were no more class until January and I would be call then… time passed until April me calling repeatedly I received the pre-employment application again I sent it back not response, appointment or anything I keep calling and investigating what is going on. A Good Samaritan inside the staff told me to email employment center again and explain everything to them and after 3 days I emailed them they replied saying my name was out of the list since Nov. due to the medical hold and to email DCAS to restore my name which I did and now when I called again to see what’s going on now that my name is restored they said you have to do everything all over again because the 90 days passed. Remind you I’m on the 200’s and I know people in the 500’s already finishing line training.

It is unfortunate what they’re doing and the communications are terrible. I never knew I was out of the list until now because that person never informed me about it nor instructed me to refer to DCAS for restoration of name in such a long period of times where so many classes had begun.
