![]() Now, they are calling me to come down for their physical. I was supposed to start training last Spring) filled out an application to be a NJ Transit Bus Operator. I also filled out an application (because of the long waiting period because of Covid. I just gained a love of traveling and the ability to rise to the challenge. However, regardless of the past experience. I was never late and it made a great impression on the administration. I got used to waking up at 3:45 - 4:00 and I was always the number two man in the school building. I used to teach in the Far Rockaways and it took me over an hour to get to work and sometimes on certain days over three hours to return home depending on the traffic. Having said that, do you think that the Bus companies will consolidate under one pension system as well? Making it easier for people to pick and choose (or maybe not based on the needs of the MTA) the depot of choice on the desired geographic area? Personally, I live in Staten Island, closer to NJ, but I have no problem traveling to and from work. As you remember in the past, there was "Housing, Transit, and Regular Police." Now, they're all one under one system. Although, I did read an article that, like the NYPD, they consolidated under one pension system. I kind of figured that if I was in MaBSTOA it wouldn't be possible to work for SiRTOA or MTA Bus Company. It was exactly what I was looking for with regard to the training and depot questions that I was asking. I want you to know how much I appreciate your feedback. Now, I have a few questions: what can you tell me with regard to training, what to expect, and is having a CDL A good as far as the driving is concerned (I know the bus isn't articulated like a tractor trailer) but does it help with training, and how hard is the training? Lastly, what is the one year training like (assuming that you pass the seven-day training), and do you get to choose where you want to work as far as depots are concerned? Thank you for your advice. So now I am supposed to start some time in November, so so far so good. I was supposed to start last Spring but COVID put a damper on that. My list number is 578 and I passed my drug test and will soon take my physical. Having said that, I took the MaBSTOA BOSS EXAM and passed. I was educated to be a teacher and taught for a little while (maybe I can become a trainer down the line) but I always wanted to be a BO. I am new here and quite frankly excited about the job that is, becoming a NYC MTA Bus Operator.
