NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Looking for a job with no education requirements or previous work experience?
If you are considering applying to be a bus operator for the MTA, the application process has just gotten slightly easier.
The MTA is accepting online applications for bus operators until the end of April and has eliminated the requirement for a multiple-choice test, which previously stipulated a passing score of at least 70%.
The starting salary ranges from $26.19 to $27.79, depending on the location, which can increase to $37.42 after six years.
The MTA offers paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave, and a comprehensive medical and pension plan.
Applicants can access the online application here. All application fees will be waived. Those unable to apply online can obtain an electronic copy of the mail-in application package by emailing a request to [email protected].
After you submit your application, you will receive a random list number via email after the application period has closed.
Applicants will then be scheduled for employment processing in the order of their random list numbers. During this process, candidates will need to verify that they meet all the listed requirements.
At the time of appointment, applicants must either have a Class A or Class B Commercial Driver’s License or a Learner’s Permit for a Class B Commercial Driver’s License.
More information is available on the MTA’s website.
