Posted by Future Motorman on Mon Mar 12 01:42:10 2007, in response to MaBSTOA..., posted by error46146 on Sun Mar 11 09:50:50 2007. As the others said, it stands for Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority. There are now three divisions, in the DOB (Department of Buses) for the MTA.1. Transit Authority (TA), which depots are Yukon, Castleton, Casey Stengal, Queens Village, Fresh Pond, Jackie Gleason, Ulmer Park, Flatbush, Jamaica, East New York, and 126st. 2. MTA Bus Company (MTA Bus), which depots are Spring Creek, LaGuardia, Rockaway, Kennedy, College Point, Eastchester, Yonkers, and Baisley Park. 3. Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MaBSTOA), which depots are 100st, Michael J. Quill, Mother Clara Hale, Gun Hill, Manhattanville, Kingbridge (my old depot), and West Farms (where I am at now). There are differences b/w TA, and OA, other than what the others said. For example, a TA B/O who picks a depot in Queens, stays in the Queens depot for their B/O career. They can't pick another depot. So if you pick Casey Stengel, you stay, at Casey Stengel (unless that changed). If you pick a Brooklyn depot, you can move from depot to depot, but only within Brooklyn. Staten Island, no clue to them. 126st, you stay there for your B/O career (again unless that changed). MaBSTOA, you can move from depot to depot (MaBSTOA Depots only) during the General Pick, which is held once a year. That is how I left KB, and went to the Farms. If you are in a Bronx depot, you can pick a Manhattan depot, and vice-versa. The pensions are different b/w the two, but the rules are the same, now. OA had six months probation for new drivers, now it is a year, like TA. |
