TTC-excited

What mode of transportation you got?

Thanks.the training is still 31 days- 27 days TR and 4 days T1.

Yes

Congrats!!! I passed my final day 27 subway operator test today.next milestone is 10 months probationary period.

There are 6 in total. 4 off the street 2 transfers

Any one who has passed most recently ttc 31 days subway training course?

My medical was on March 09,2016 & got call for documentation on April 13.

Thankyou all for replying.I just called her and asked her if there is a possibility to switch me to close to my home with the same start date,she said she can do that but with same start date is not possible.i would have to wait.i asked her how long she said she does not know but i will be on the top of the pool.but the thing is i have already given my current employer vaccation notice.So i will stick to what i have right now.And honestly speaking every mode will be totally a new experience for me whether bus,train or street car.She also told me in bus or street car you get good customer service experience but at the same time you get bad people too.in subway you are sheltered. I totaly agree that they place us where we are needed as i remember in the orientation session they told us that they will try to fit us closer to our place if not than they will place us upon the requirements of business needs. So i am all set to start with subway.Hoping it would be a good experience for me.I do not have any phobia of being underground but only time will tell as i said every mode will be a totally new experience for me. She also told me if you want to do that than now is the time as it could be more difficult to do it later because of the training involved for bus or street car but than for that i would have to wait and that i can't stand. what i should have done is i should have prepared in my mind what mode i prefer over other and once i receive the call for start date i should have figured out with them to switch me to my prefered spot at that very time so that I would have given my current employer one notice. But anyways i am excited that i am starting with ttc.clearing the test is the most important thing.will work hard and see how things goes in future. I have a feeling that after some time subway will get boring for me as i am more towards customer serivce but that can only happen once i step in,pass the test and apply for transfer to closer division with bus or street car.

I called the lady the next day, who called me to give me my start date,mode and division,and asked her if its possible to give me something closer to my home as wilson is not close to my home. Closer to my home are some buses and the closest bus junction is scarborough town centre and ofcourse SRT.her reply was and i quote " most people want subway and you are privileged that you got subway in the first place". Is it true ? any thoughts on this?

Good that you passed.Good luck! Thank you!

All they told me is Wilson division,so I believe it's YUS.Thanks! I got my police clearance on 31st March,2016 and I got the call for my documentation on April 13,2016 that my documentation will be on April 20,2016.

i got subway,starting may 9.

How did you know in the first place that you wanted streetcar at Russell?what is Russell? It must be the route name,right?and it must be very close to your home? For me all I know are some buses that runs close to my home.for instance 116,38,95 & 85.

Congrats! Nice that you got exactly what you wanted.All the best in your training.

Congrats!good luck on your training.can you tell me what date was your documentation?

How did your test go? Did you pass it?can you also tell me what date was your documentation? And when did you get the call for training? I am trying to figure out the time frame from documentation to training call?

Much appreciated, thank you

If I have to get the MTO book for air brake study,where can I get that? Is it available in library? If not any idea how much it costs and what is the exact title of this book?

OperatorP, are you studying already before your training starts? If yes,where did you get the material from to study?or you will study once you receive the material from TTC on your first day of training?

Thank you all for replying to my query.any more suggestions or recommendations would be highly appreciated. No I have not been called for training yet so I don't know yet where will I be going,bus,streetcar or train.so I think once I receive paperwork from TTC than I can start learning the theories in air brakes?

I have driven a uhaul truck once.besides I am driving for last 13 years in Canada- my regular car and van-.so should I really go and practise driving large vehicle before the ttc training or if I study daily and do the training with full concentration, I would make it? If you are to suggest to get some experience driving a big vehicle or a bus then which is the right place to go? Any one with any recommendation? I just want to make sure that I pass the training.

Thankyou

Thank you Thankyou
