Well, what did you think? I can't see this thing being anything less than a fiasco. We won't know about deleted or added stops until the day it happens?

The instructor was a nice enough guy, but was he just putting us on when he expressed disbelief about cars being double-parked around schools?

And was he serious when he said it can give us directions around traffic tie-ups? Really? On Staten Island? (Or anywhere in NYC for that matter.

And one concern I have: He said trips would be loaded on the device. Does this mean OPT will be assigning trips? To EVERYBODY?

No trip runs WILL be a thing of the past and you won't know you have one until the day of. Currently OPT does assign the trip to routes, it is then re-distributed by our staff. Come on Buzz, you know this already.

I doubt if no trip runs will be a thing of the past but if that does happen there is no reason you won't know about a field trip the Friday before.  After all that is how they are given out now.

Proud Member I wish you were right, but as per Anthony they will eventually have nothing to do with trips.OPT will have full control.There will be  no such thing as a no trip run. You will find out the same day

[Grrr]

Ruh Roh!

Yes, I do know this already. My point was, "staff" will likely not be able to "re-distribute" once this system is operational. As far as OPT knows, everybody does trips.

My understanding is that you won't know about a trip until the day it shows up on your computer screen. No paper to be attached to your card the Friday before.

Exactly. There will be a mass exodus of senior drivers.

[PROUD MEMBER]

Time will tell and if it does happen I'm sure NOT EVERYONE will be doing field trips which obviously will cause more even more problems!
