leylandvictory2 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Its in the conditional employment paper I think its 23.49 actually it is 23.59 according to the TTC website. They won't paid your meal break as well during training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 actually it is 23.59 according to the TTC website. They won't paid your meal break as well during training. Wiil confirm its $23.59 for 6 hours but once you start driving with a divisional trainer you get paid for whatever hours you work. Around day 22 I believe.

andyman Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 andyman, how is mount dennis division going so far for you? In what other division can you get weekends off after only 6 months? Not many I suspect. But possible at Mount Dennis, on spare board though. Doubt it will be available in the summertime though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 6 months and weekends off? Damn. It took me 9 years just to get days in the garage at Malvern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 the best drivers at Eglinton can get is Monday and Sunday off after working one year but the work really suck. So I rather take weekdays off in exhcange for better work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have weekdays too. Thurs, fri off. To get dayshift (7:00 to 3:30) with weekends off in bus maintenance, you need at least 20 years in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC Hopeful Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I start my training on Monday. It was originally scheduled to start at 06:45 am but now it starts at 3:45 pm and goes until midnight. I wonder if they are trying to squeeze in more training sessions because of the massive hiring drive or if this is usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC Hopeful Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Remember I have been assigned to streetcar so maybe it's a different process than bus? I don't know what to expect and I can't wait to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiGuy82 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi! Do you know how long it takes from the moment that you are accepted and the training? I still have to go to the interview but I would like to know. Regards. Sent from my XT885 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianinhogtown Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Almost every Dundas 505 streetcar that I ride on is plastered with several notices, inside and out, prominently promoting "POP - TTC's Proof of Payment Fare System", and clearly encouraging people to "Board via rear doors with valid pass or transfer". I regularly ride the Dundas streetcar, and am extremely shocked at those streetcar drivers who yell loudly and rudely at passengers who do so (i.e. board via the rear doors with either a valid pass or a transfer). As a resident, my understanding is that (in practice) this system is limited exclusively to the Queen Street line. However, nowhere do the TTC's own official notices on the non-Queen Street streetcars say that this fare system is limited to that one streetcar line only. To the contrary, they give every indication that it applies across all TTC streetcar lines. So why is this system falsely advertised on streetcars as being TTC-wide, applying on all streetcar lines, when in fact it only applies on one line? Some drivers on the Dundas line are extremely tyrannical and obnoxious when passengers enter by the rear doors, even to the point of refusing to continue on the route until such passengers exit again by the rear doors from a crowded streetcar and re-enter by the front doors, holding up all passengers in the process. Many other cities do operate their transit on a system-wide honour system, and visitors from those cities, who read the TTC notices promising them such a system, and then rely on it, should not have to be yelled at and embarrassed in front of other passengers. The Dundas streetcars are getting more and more crowded every day, until no more passengers can be accommodated via the front doors, while room inevitably remains at the back, which can be accessed via the rear doors. Why indeed should this POP system not be officially applied on a system-wide basis, as the TTC's own public notices suggest that it already is? Perhaps some brave soul, who is impolitely harassed by a streetcar driver in this fashion, will one day make a test case out of such an occurrence. The driver who yells "It applies only to Queen Street" should be challenged on the spot, when the sticker right behind him (or her) fails to make any distinction whatever, and clearly suggests that it is system-wide. The TTC has two options - make its "Proof-of-Payment Fare System" system-wide, in keeping with its advertising, or add the restriction of "Queen Street only" to every single sticker on its entire fleet of streetcars.
