Posted by SUBWAYsurf on Mon Jun 28 05:04:40 2010, in response to Re: Bus Tales From The Early Days Of MaBSTOA 1968, posted by BigBusDriver on Mon Jun 28 03:10:17 2010. My father started with the subsidiary "Surface" in 1957. In 1962 MaBSTOA appeared. The rest is history.Did you know the reason the TA kept MaBSTOA as a separate entity is so the employees are not civil servants. To this day it is the only part of the TA in the city that is not civil service. Today the TA uses it to place all kinds of employees that they don't want to be civil servants. For example, employees of the NYTM paychecks are all employees of MaBSTOA. IIRC, it's the same with property protection people that are street hires. The MTA also maintains MTA bus separately for this same reason. MaBSTOA used to be the only arm of the TA where spouses received passes to ride free, hold over from private ownership. Is this still true? |
