QuoteI don't know how kid24 looks like,but yesterday I saw a young Hispanic dude driving the s74 I remember his face from pioneer I pulled next to him at the light he told me that mta was the best move he ever made and that the bus is more comfortable .

100%

That wasn't him ... he wasn't Hispanic. But the guy you saw certainly wasn't the first to make that move. A young guy SHOULD be driving for the city, not a school bus. You do this after you do 20 years with the MTA.

One week you in a room packed like sardines in a can receiving training on psychology and terrorism you're called a leader you're reminded of the big responsibility you have as a bus driver and the week after  we don't know you go on unemployment .

Ok as a new driver I need that paper to define what's considered misconduct,medical emergencies ,injuries,bullying etc. just asking for a friend.

Not true. Every bus is inspected by a DOT inspector in our garage. Believe me if one of our buses doesn't meet the DOT requirements he is not passing it.
Now having said that what happens to a bus in between every 6 month inspection may be a different story.

either Dot standards are very low or inspectors are being taken care of

Yesterday while doing my am front part of the first stop sign broke off drove back to base with stop sign hanging only attached to the bus by the wires today same bus a coolant hose exploded next to the brake pedal burning my foot for a second i thought bus was on fire 🔥 almost jumped off of it 😭😭😭

Buzz we need more involvement from the union to take care of this issues we face everyday like you say there's a lack of communication nobody knows what they doing is like the place is run by Mickey Mouse ever since I changed my run I was given a bus that doesn't start in morning I have to look for sal every morning so he can spray something in to the filter so the bus start so Friday the bus gave up since then I been given. A different bus every day yesterday I was given someone else's bus and the driver was running after me 😂😂😂that's my bus then they called me on the radio to bring back the bus told them I was already far away is a mess.

Enjoy it buzz you always take pioneer side when I post something negative about the job suck it now I hope they hold your bus for the rest of the school year and you get a different spare every day so you know how that feels
