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 

Everything in Manhattan, BX are OA/TA.

You can request Staten Island if you are TA and it will most likely be approved right away.

When you report, they will run your abstract, in which they will see that the three year mark of your license is July 13th. With that said, if I was you, I would ask them in person on June 23rd if they can give you another appointment in a couple of weeks after the three year mark of your license.

The good news is that, if they cannot do so, for whatever reason, these lists are good for four [4] calendar years, in which you have three [3] chances to restore your name to the list. Therefore, if you're unsuccessful this time, there's always next time, which will probably and most likely be before the end of the calendar year.

Hi

I m am on the list for exam 2611. What is your list number that I can figure out how long more to wait

[Pernel]

I'm new to this forum so indulge me a bit. if I have not had my license for 3 years yet but I want to stay on the list  should I still fill out the paperwork and report to livingston St. on 6/23/2023. 

[DEE123]

If you dont show up then you’ll have bigger problems than if you did show up.

First of all, welcome to the Forums!!

Second, as per the top of the third page of the Notice of Examination, "you must possess a motor vehicle driver license valid in the State of New York for at least three years immediately prior to the date you are appointed to this position." When you report to 180 Livingston Street, one of the first things they are going to do is run your abstract to see if you meet the "driver license requirement."

Therefore, if you wish to stay on the list, mind I ask how old is your license? (If you forgot, and if you are a resident of New York State, you can run off your abstract yourself by clicking here.)

If your answer is something to the nature of two years and eleven months old, you can still report to 180 Livingston, just note that you will be given another appointment date in the foreseeable future once your driver license is three years old.

If your answer is something to the nature of two years and one month old, they will not only turn you away, but will also tell you to restore your name to the list once your license is three years old. For instructions on how to do this, refer to the instructions located at the bottom of the blue announcement box located at the top of this webpage. What's good is that you can restore your name to the list for a maximum of three [3] times, so it's not like you're off the list for good.

Again, welcome to the Forums!!

If you’re hoping for Staten Island. It will almost be guaranteed. Tons of people get forced into Staten Island and are waiting to transfer out.

First of all, welcome to the Forums!

Second, as per the guidelines, we kindly ask all members to please "post in the relevant forum." In your case, @Qgtm2023, a separate thread/topic was made for Exam # 4104, which can be found by clicking here.

Third, after you make another post in the relevant thread/topic, I will be more than happy to ask your question. I don't want to get you and others mixed up with the different exam numbers, the differences between NYC Transit, vs. MaBSTOA, vs. MTA Bus Company, etc.

Thank you!!

Thank you, I only had my license just over a year but I really wasn't expecting things to move this fast. I think I jumped the gun a bit by taking the exam so early . I would still love to stay on the list but I don't really understand the instruction on how to do it.

You're welcome! One of the many "rules and regulations" of these Civil Service Lists is, if you do not show up for pre-employment for any Civil Service title, including Bus Operator, off of one of these five lists (2611, 2612, 2613, **2614** and **3601**), your name will be removed from the list. Now if and when you want your name to be placed back on the list, all you have to do is follow the instructions located in the blue announcement box towards the bottom with the sentences that begin with "For those of you who wish to restore your name to the list..." Just give the folks at DCAS (Dept. of Citywide Administrative Services) about a week to send you a reply, since they deal with all of the Civil Service Examinations for the entire city, not just with NYC Transit. I would recommend sending this e-mail in about two years from now once your license is three years old.

(**when the lists get published**)

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