As I understand it, the title “Motorman” was changed to “Rapid Transit Operator” (RTO) when C/Rs were eliminated and all service went OPTO broadbanding the motormen’s duties by adding door operation formerly performed by conductors. Many years ago on NYCTS the bus operators were similarly titled as “Surface Lines Operator” since persons in that title also operated streetcars. It took almost 10 years for the TA to realize that since there were no longer any streetcars in NYC, the title should be shortened to “Bus Operator.” |
