Congrats. This probation crap is no joke, once again I’m going to emphasize to you, theres too many inconsiderate people out there that want to take food out of our tummies, and stupid people everywhere. Protect yourself at all times. Make sure you have your union shop steward on speed dial. Speak to them before you do anything that feels uncomfortable and may lead you into trouble. 
If you’re called to see the boss, Do not speak to them without union representation.
best of luck.

hi, no you don't take the drug test the same day as the information session. when you go to the information session they will give you a date to come back and take the drug test at the end of it. i went for my drug test about 6 weeks after i went to the information seminar.

Sorry for the delay, I'm doing line training.  It's going good so far. I've driven the b41,44,2,31 and today the b46 select bus. The artics handle nicely.

From High School. As far as the dates, just focus on the months and the years.

Good luck!!

I’ve been applying and gone to at least 3 of the past mabstoa day one processing days, and wasn’t getting called back. Was scratching my head because I know my license is clean and I don’t do drums, but come to find out , you have to wait 5 years to re apply for Mta if you lost your job with them for any reason. Wish I knew that before hand, could have saved some sick days going down for day 1 processing…..

No, it just means that you needed corrective lenses to pass the vision test for your license. You will be required to wear them whenever you operate a CMV (in this case, the bus) and it will be reflected on your work ID.

I got a class A CDL and recently went and got the passenger endorsement permit because it’s saying n2 restriction but mta told me i gotta ask dmv to remove the restriction or get a B passenger permit. This don’t makes any sense! 

On 4/10/2024 at 6:09 PM, DEE123 said:

If you took the test for the passenger endorsement and passed it, then you’re going to show the restriction for passengers until you pass the road test with DMV because you’re not certified to carry passengers until you pass the road test with the DMV instructor. 
 

they will move you quick if you already took the drug test. Probably in about a week you’ll get your medical. If you pass the medical and all your paperwork is completed the way they want it, then you will get the offer for the job.
