So I just cleared my first year of probation this week. I'll chime in on my experience as a rookie. There's not really a definite answer to your question as it all varies but believe me you will be financially sound provided you follow the directions and procedures to survive probation.Īs far as liking the job, I enjoy the aspect of driving and I actually like some challenge so every trip is interesting in some form. My current work week is roughly 43 hours but the fuel line every night tends to add on to that, I can easily break 45-46 hours a week.īlowing/missing your lunch break because of traffic (this is going to happen to you a lot during your first year) also gets you paid for the entire thing so you'll definitely be seeing some extra money on your check. Unless your runs are boosted (meaning the actual shift is shorter than 8 hours but you still get paid for 8 regardless) you will more often than not end up making more than 40 hours a week. I am currently entering my second year and I'm sitting around 26-27/hour- current start rate is 24 and some change with another bump coming in May according to the recent contract.Īs far as pay goes, your hours will be all over the place due to many factors. On your fifth year you will be on a top pay salary.īeing a Dispatcher (46.00$ An hr) is more money, but you can only become a dispatcher after your third year and take a promotion exam when its available. Covid has put more opportunity for bus operators to earn more. I’m on my fourth year (31.98$ an hr) and for 2020 I made 100k for the year and thats all from busting ass by putting in hours. We earn night differential, articulate buses pay (2$ more) if you’re operating a articulated bus route. Overall we make money if you know how to. For example you can pick a run and route that pays 50 hours a week, but that determined the depot and your seniority peg. Your pay (23$ an hour) is based on the route and run. That means, you want less time on the bus to avoid accidents or incidents. The first year as a rookie, don’t expect to be rolling big money since the ideal is to pass 1 year probationary period. I expect to get married soon and eventually have a kid or 2.just wondering if im making the right choice with this job financially.Īlso.those of you on the job, Do you like the job? Ive been searching high and low and still cant find a solid answer as to what kind of pay to expect from this career. I am currently on the NYCT Bus Operator list and just curious if anyone can give a detailed run down of the biweekly pay? After taxes for a rookie bus operator.and top pay bus operator biweekly.
