Bus_Medic Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 There is a privately owned lot shoehorned in between the south property line and the north side of the railway underpass. Parking is flat rate. Entrance is on the west side of Bathurst, immediately past the underpass. Blink and you’ll miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email I got said there was no parking on site, so I parked at the Loblaws on Dupont and walked. And yeah there is a parking lot as bus_medic said but at that time I didn't think to park there.

Nothing unusual to prepare for really. Just a tip don't drink too much water before. I did that and nearly exploded from the wait (it was crazy busy the day of my medical). Otherwise just be rested and go in 20 minutes earlier to fill out additional paperwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindoverMatter Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I feel like people who dont get the job references are not contacted. Unfortunate but I dont think im getting this! Sucks! I really wanted the job. Im seeing a trend of people where their references are contacted a week after. I have not heard a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah trust me don't drink too much water. I still haven't heard back about my medical results and accidentally got transferred to their head office in Montreal (Medysis). They admitted to me the Bloor/Islington location has staffing issues (explains my nearly 5 hour processing time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hey everyone, I'm new here. I have my aptitude testing on April 25, 2018. I applied for bus driver position. I am really nervous about it. I really want this job and just the idea of tests and exams freak me out so I am definitely panicking. I've been doing a few aptitude tests online but if TTC is like those i'm definitely not feeling confident anyone have suggestions or can give an idea of what the testing is like? Would really appreciate it. Thanks Ari On 4/12/2018 at 8:52 PM, Whitby said: Hello everyone I'm a newbee in this forum. I got info session April 25th. Is any body can help me where I can do practice of sample aptitude test or cognitive test? Is there any specific website for it? I never did any aptitude test or cognitive test. Thanks I have my testing the same date and been wondering the same thing. So nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2-DETOUR Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hey Ari, The aptitude test is about 50 questions long. They say you won’t have time to finish it so the goal is to get as many as you can right. Guess if you have to cuz you won’t be penalized for getting a wrong answer. I do know people that finished all 50 questions in the 12 min time limit. I only answered 25 questions and yet I still got to the interview stage. I would have done much better on the test but some of the questions have more than one answer and I wasn’t sure if I had to use a coma, & symbol, or just right the answer beside each other in the little space given for the answer. If that sounds confusing maybe it will become clearer once you have the test in front of you. I ultimately chose to use a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important thing is to read the questions carefully and answer how they want you to answer. You'll do fine =) good luck! If you have any more questions just PM me and I'll help you out. The process is still fresh for me so I remember a lot of the things I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSonick Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Question regarding references: When they say "references within 5 years", are they saying you can PICK references within the past 5 years OR do you HAVE TO list all your Supervisors/Managers within the past 5 years? If there is a Supervisor/Manager you'd rather not list because of XYZ reason, do you HAVE to list him/her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
