I started in 1995 and our class was told we may not finish the year off. Many mechanics and maintainence managers were transferred to transportation as bus operator and transportation management.Also many managers were layed off. I remember working 5th avenue and only picking up two or three people on an entire trip in the evenings. What changed things dramatically was the metrocard in 1997. Ridership shot up big time, we were overwhelmed quickly. But it saved NYCt buses. |
