If this is your first slip-up just be upfront about it. You get somewhat of a "freebie" on the first mistake. Certainly take it easy though.

NYC DOT adjusts bus stop placement, sometimes they'll remove or add bus stops without much notice. I've seen this a few times while out in the field.

Imagine every time they gotta replace a window on our buses, a passenger side window I've seen was like $900 alone on the work order!

ThirdShiftStocker

Definitely taking that bus back to the depot

Holy shit that is nice!! Hmmmmm if only....

Soooo... what time was this? I just looked up that run number and this operator was indeed a Q63... In fact their entire schedule is for Q63 trips only. They did slip up with the signs when plugging the numbers in somehow...

My sixth grade teacher got a call from the general office through the phone system that our school recently had installed in every classroom. I won't forget the look of disbelief on her face when she relayed the message to the rest of the class. I couldn't believe it.

Work on the main stretch is done, but the service roads still need work

Buses are taken to outside vendors when they require warranty work at places like Lodi or Ronkonkoma to NEBR. They are temporarily governed to 55-60 for those purposes

It had both a Limited and Local variant prior to the Queens redesign. The Q34 was a branch route of it. Parsons and Kissena were modified over the years for traffic calming so things are slower than what they once were. I used to ride the Q25 between Flushing and Jamaica in my younger years.

At that point they are likely factory governed, MTA will handle the rest once the buses hit the property

Dream Zanarkand is exactly just that, a huge grand summoning by the remaining forces of Zanarkand's forces after Bevelle was on the verge of destroying it completely. Those summoners became the fayth on Mount Gagazet.

It's a real place, but as many have mentioned, it's heavily guarded and so is the knowledge of it existing very, very limited except by a select few.

Auron promised Jecht that he would take care of Tidus after the latter gave up his life to become the Final Aeon and was able to do so since Jecht was still self-aware and still is until you get to him at the end where he mentions that he is "completely" becoming Sin soon. Auron being unsent himself was also part of the reason he was able to "ride" Sin to Dream Zanarkand.

Sloshing Machine was my favorite weapon in the OG Splatoon and Splatoon 2. 3 Pretty much wrecked its fire rate so it's not a weapon you want to get into close quarters combat with. Its range is relatively decent, and the projectiles it fires can go around obstacles or reach higher ledges. If aiming isn't your strong suit I don't recommend this weapon because it demands a bit of accuracy to get right.

Pre-LCI interior all the way

The penalties aren't steep enough and even if someone racked up enough tickets to hit the impound threshold the sheriff has to come seek out the vehicle and boot it first. Some drivers are even capable of storing their vehicles away from the public eye.

Also, the tickets don't go against the license of the driver, only against the registration of the vehicle itself because it can't be proven who was driving the offending vehicle, so the registrant/owner is ultimately responsible for the fine.

I remember getting my six discs and getting the warning from the cashier at my local GameStop telling me that this game would "take my life". He wasn't wrong.

That was 20 years ago.

ThirdShiftStocker

Hmm I've never noticed that and I'm on one of those routes this pick lol

Also a first time player to Wilds after playing Rise for the last five years. The Switch 2 demo plays very nicely, although I find myself trying to do silkbind/wirebug actions every now and then and have to catch myself. Haha. It is fun. As a Great Sword user I'm liking the focus slashes. Those attacks feel brutal!

Hard to imagine it's been ten years since Nintendo unveiled the OG Switch. Even more fascinating was how the console took off like a rocket a few short months later! What a long ride it has been!

So long as your current CDL has all the required endorsements you are good to go ahead and skip the road test process. One of my classmates already had his CDL from a previous job, I held a class C prior to joining transit so I had to road test in a vehicle with air brakes to get the B license.

You'll just start your line training ahead of everyone else once you finish the initial classroom sessions at Zerega after qualifying.

Depending on the needs of the Authority, you may or may not have a choice as to where you'll be working out of, but in the event they force your class to a specific depot or choice of borough you'll have the chance to transfer to the depot of your choosing once the space opens up for you.

Staten Island and Queens are ATU locals so their rules are different from TWU. You can bounce between depots in SI only but in Queens you are locked into the depot you pick into for your entire career. Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx are all TWU and you can bounce between the 13 TA/OA depots once a year.

Manhattan depots

Michael J. Quill, Manhattanville, Tuskegee Airmen, Mother Clara Hale

Brooklyn depots

East New York, Fresh Pond, Grand Avenue, Flatbush, Jackie Gleason, Ulmer Park

Bronx depots

West Farms, Gun Hill, Kingsbridge

For your reference!

Keep your distance, there's no need to get very close to Thaardus, take note of which part of his body is radiating heavily, expose it, one super missile should be enough to destroy it once you open it up

Loving the fluidity in the motions!
