I agree, and, as we know, both of these exams fall under the heading of "Civil Service." Therefore, if they're not calling from 9604, how can they call from 9618, especially since they're for the same title?

I definitely understand what you’re saying but the MTA has already stated having a shortage of bus operators it is very much possible that they hire of multiple lists at a time like Corrections and NYPD do. I only say this because I received an email for exam 9618 stating that they will begin calling from that exam # in November. Don’t shoot the messenger lol.

I recently started training at one of the depots . Training has been going pretty well . For those of you who are waiting to hear back regarding the drug test , they say up to 90 days but they most likely will reach out way sooner. They contacted me within 2 weeks after I was drug tested. My instructor today said they’re hiring many people so continue to check your emails. As far as those who have cdl permits only , after the 7 day training they prepare you for the cdl road test. I am kinda concerned about that part because they mention you only get two tries. If you fail both times then you’re disqualified. Did anyone complete the 2 week training for the cdl road test and received the license ? If so please give any feedback or pointers ! Thanks!

By time you qualify, you won’t have to worry. DMV knows the extent of training. Plus, you will have a couple days after the 10 day just to prep for the road test.

Hello , no I’m sorry I’m not sure exactly when is the next class . But I think they’re every 6 weeks. A friend of mine got called back also and she was in the class 6 weeks before my class . So I’m guessing it’ll be 6 weeks after the class I started which was 10/24. Not 100 percent sure though .

Yea I would definitely try reaching out if I were you. I mean it doesn’t hurt to try at this point. These classes are pretty full so reach out ASAP to get an update.

Hey any news on this exam # ? I did my drug test 10/27 and have no heard back yet. MTA sure has a unique way of hiring. You’ve got people on a test taken a year after this one already hired… I’m losing my patience I wanna get that call already lol.

My sister say you should go into them.  Or you can email them, they usually respond back.  Did u hear from them by now?

I haven’t heard anything at all. I’m more than willing to go down to Livingston in person. But they say wait to hear back anywhere from 3-90 days. My drug test was 10/27 I’m getting a bit impatient but the saying is good things come to those who are patient.

Next class is 12/05 and you will definitely have to do drug test again.  It’s good for 30 days.  So that means if they don’t call you for this upcoming class, yes you’ll have to do that again.  I had my 1st drug test done 10/29 and had to get another done 11/15 because they think I will be in the 12/05 class.  Now I will have to do a 3rd one too because I got held back because of my Covid vaccine

The drug test is good for 90 days. That’s why they say they will call in 3-90 days. After that you have to redo it and wait. I had to redo  mine because it was past 90 days.

So I got an email today from Car Equipment Employment Operations which isn’t an exam I applied for with a letter stating I wasn’t not selected. The letter has my name and address with social as the letter head but then says Dear, Melissa XXXXX which is clearly another candidates name. So now I’m not sure if the letter is for me which I doubt it for this Melissa girl and the car operations exam she may have taken. Any thoughts on what to do? Has this happened to anyone else? The email is a mess smh.

That sounds crazy. How did they get your social mixed up with another person’s name and address?
