Did They gave you a paper? Medical clearance paper. All you should have done is go with said paper and tell them that you have the clearance of your doctor. No need to wait. That paper is your ticket in. Go go go. 

Anyone know what will be the top pay 🤔 how much will be an hour with the new contract ? 🤔

Wait what if you took the exam and got cdl a bit after. Would I be disqualified?

I think you would need to have a cdl to be canvassed. So you should be fine.

I did day 2 processing today...appt 2pm, finished 7pm...did medical, and HR reviews your new hire form and they give you a start date for training...I will be in this Sunday's class...they also wants me and others (BOs) to return tomorrow for fingerprints and Id pass...they were behind time today to complete everything......I think that the BOs that have 2pm appt today will be with MTA Bus Company including myself! (Sad face)....we signed paperworks for all 3 agencies only to end up at MTA BUS...I guess we just have to work our way up the ladder to TA...

I have Regional Bus Appointment under (ATU-1179) union..and JFK-Service available...I don't know if this is a good thing....can someone please help me to understand?

Thanks in advance!

JFK is the worse of the depots to end up at. They are on a different pay scale than the other depots. I believe they start at $2 less than others. So please confirm that with them. You are also not able to save your holidays as AVA. Maybe I’ll see you on the Q8. I ride that line.

Oh wow, that sounds discouraging! But hey, only way to get the experience is to know what it's like, right?

The starting pay is $26 for MTA Bus Company.

I also learned today while getting my fingerprints done: 

I did two exams last year under 2305....(JVN) Job Vacancy Notice in June, and (TA) NYCT in July...they processed me from the JVN exam to work for MTA Bus Company, and training starts this Sunday. They haven't reached my list number, 12X for TA exam 2613 I took in July.....so happy that confusion was cleared up!...Just going to focus on passing the 10 days training for now with MTA Bus.

Has anyone been called from the eligible list of exam 2613?

What's AVA?... you're currently with Transit now?

My Job code is MB900...?...what route is that?

[lornaevo]

So that’s good news. Do the training with mta bus and start working. Your probation time carries over. AVA, is Available Vacation allowance. If you work on a holiday you get paid 8 hours extra or you get to save it as a day off in the future. Yes I’m at TA now. But previously worked for MTA Bus. 
 

edit. Any questions, you can feel free to pm me.

@lornaevo can you tell me if the 10 days training is conservative and how many hours for a day?

Thanks!

If and only if this trash contract is signed the new top pay for B/O would be $38.54. 70% of $38.54 would be $26.97 (new hire rate). PSA-We are miles behind inflation.

Does anybody have a link on what bus lines are ran by masbTOA and what lines are ran by NYCT? I only see the lines that Bus Company runs, but no information on NYCT and masbTOA
