Next Training Class: You will be scheduled with candidates of more recent Bus Operator exams (which are pinned), so check those threads for more information.

Additional: For those who will be reporting to Livingston Street in the future, click here for the pre-employment packet and click here or for extra pages of the CPD-B booklet (if you need them) for final processing. In addition, if you need help getting your Class B Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), I would encourage you to check out cristcdl.com. Remember, the multiple-choice exams that you need to take and pass, at minimum, are General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsement.

In your e-mail, state your full name, exam number, list number, the last four of your social security number, and a brief reason why you're restoring your name to the list. You don't have to go into full detail in the e-mail.

Good luck!!

Just dress like a bus operator. Blue button collared shirt, navy blue pants, the appropriate shoes and a blue tie.

Yeah parking at zerega is insane. Luckily it's Sunday so it's not so bad. Just be there about an hour before to get a spot in the front but you should be able to find parking on Zerega or side streets cause the school bus company is closed on Sundays. Good luck to ya.

Everyone who requested queens or Staten Island go their transfer yesterday when we did the GI day. This was day 10 for me. 
 

everyone who didn’t request a transfer was forced to Michael J Quill. This would have been my 3rd choice if given a choice so I can’t really complain. I know the area well and have family who live along a few of these routes. 
 

anyone here have experience working any of these MJQ routes? Apparently this depot is high seniority, I wonder why they had so many openings

You basically answered your own question. High retirement rates due to the more senior guys finding their way out. Same deal at Gleason with it being such a large depot.

They just sent a class of students here. I think the next group will be coming over in January. Transfers are processed in the order received and you will be notified when you’re going to be heading to SI.

Hey what was the time frame from the time you got the 1st email to come to 180 to your start date in November? I'm from exam 9618 and I'm expecting to get contacted between March/April.

10/27 oct did drug test

11/9 email to do medical

11/15 did medical

11/21 class

You may be on the same timeline, according to zerega they’re pushing 80-100 people out per class cuz they need bus operators like crazy

Yes, you’re considered a full employee on the first day, so enjoy it. Pass training first but enjoy it, lol.

What’s good people. I was just curious about something. If you sign up for TA and get hired, i’m assuming that you could be sent anywhere. I have a little bit of interest regarding B/O but I don’t want nothing to do with express lines, MCI’s, or Prevost. Do you think the best bet would be to wait for a MABSTOA test to come out and apply? If successful there then in about a year‘s time transferring over to TA.

well at this time YOU ARE GOING WHERE THE NEED IS  so if it is where there are express buses you happen to get assigned too maybe you might get bumped out before your one year or after 1 year put in for transfer

Got you. Would that also be the case for somebody who gets hired by MABSTOA. Are they limited to the Bronx and Manhattan or could they be sent anywhere?
