mastap123 Posted December 31, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 31, 2019 My guess is that they will patrol the subway n buses to make sure everyone is paying there fare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 31, 2019 As soon as I saw this, I thought it was going to be those folks on the Select Bus Service routes who check the receipts of those who paid on the fare. Those that are in the subway just watch to make sure everyone paid through the turnstile, however with OMNY coming out and the MetroCard eventually disappearing, I don't know how that's all going to work out.

ThunderMountain Posted February 8, 2020 Share #6 Posted February 8, 2020 Pay is decent and seems interesting but seems like it is a basically security position while Enforcing the pay since it does say it requires a security license . Anyone got any information about this position at all? Already read the Notice Of Examination and i cannot find any information about this position at all!

Witcher Posted February 10, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2020 I also can’t find information at all about this position, looks like is a new position too. But you basically a security guard, so no gun, no vest, no authority? Sounds dangerous in my opinion. I thought they would give them Peace Officer status at least. With that pay they should just bring back the New York Transit Authority Police. But is too early to tell wether or not is worth it, we might have to get more info in this job from the MTA.

It could have the same way of recharging like a normal metro card so those jobs might not be as affected, I don’t think everyone will start using their debit cards to swipe to go into the subway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer all questions, This isn't A new title. This job is the security agents you see checking receipts, and handing out summons to people who beat the fare on the select buses. It's just before it was a pseudo promotion for property protection agents who applied to work in the fare enforcement task force. So it was never open to the public to apply for. Now they have given the job a title, and opened it up to the public to take an exam for. And only police officers monitor for fare beating on subway stations. The MTA doesn't have anyone assigned for that task. The agents you see in the subway stations, are collecting agents, and they're there to collect revenue from vending machines and service booths, and also guard revenue maintainers when they have to service vending machines. And the reason you couldn't find any information on the title, is because it never existed in a official capacity as a title, this is the very first time this job has been offered to the public for an examination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen becker Posted May 6, 2020 Share #21 Posted May 6, 2020 Hi guys I just got word from New York City transit that the fair inforcement agent exam 0615 as been postponed. It was scheduled for may 16th or 17 2020. Another letter or phone call will come down the road when they resume testing. I forgot all about this and was wondering is there a study guide out there for Fare enforcement agent? Please share thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please share thanks. Have you looked at this and this NYPD Test Prep Kits? If you compare these test prep kits with the Notice of Examination, specifically the bottom of the 5th and the top of the 6th page of the entire PDF document, you will find that the Test Prep Kits contain: Written Comprehension Written Expression Problem Sensitivity Deductive Reasoning Inductive Reasoning Information Ordering Spatial Orientation Memorization Normally, I would suggest going to the local library to obtain a specific book or two, however, because of the pandemic, none of them are currently open. Until this happens, hopefully these test prep kits will get you started in the right direction. Good luck studying!!
