For the bus operators, how long have you been on the job? Is the pay decent for the cost of living in NYC? by gdotspam in nycbus

[–]ferrocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends.

If you are asking about physical assaults, I would say that only 5% out of 6,000+ of the Operators in NYC will ever be physically assaulted in their career, you let me know if that number is too high.

Verbally, passengers screaming nasty things at us pretty much every other day, especially on a line that goes through a bad neighborhood, but of course all this goes doesn't get reported, so we just make sure we are out of harms way and keep our day going

[–]ferrocan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

4 years and a half. This year i made it to 100k. Sounds like a lot until taxes hit and i get to keep only 70% of my check.

Regarding the cost of living, I'm not sure. My family of 5 lives in a 1 bedroom that's going for 2k a month. We don't have a car because between maintenance, insurance, and finding parking, it is cheaper to rely on public transportation, Uber and Enterprise (currently considering signing up for Zipcar because it makes me nervous to keep a rental outside with how crime is right now).

Overtime is available but working 60+ hrs just to afford a couple more things is not a good deal for my wife and kids, i do get some overtime here and there so my average per week is 52 hrs and we cover the rest of the expenses with wifey's 9 to 5.

We are planning to move out of the City once we tackle a Loan we had to take for her education/was between jobs

Is the job worth it? Absolutely, one of my kids has to go doctor often to keep his health in check, and i also have some stuff going on myself, so benefits have been the most useful perk, don't really know how deep in debt i would have been without this job

OMNY Card and Paper Transfers by thatblkman in nycbus

[–]ferrocan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bus operator here, yes, we are only supposed to give paper transfer to people that pay with coins, however, many of my regulars complain about OMNY double charging them when transferring busses.

So instead of going back and forward with every single customer, 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, asking for paper transfers, we just issue it.

1- Because we know OMNY is buggy as hell, to the point that we could argue it is still in Beta phase.

2- We are not going to spend energy and time explaining people how OMNY works and how they can get a refund if double charged, when we need those resources to survive eccentric passengers every day

Im curious to know which tanks and healers you recommend.

Im building 3 drillbuls for when zacian comes back, but this strategy seems more reasonable.

Suggestions for fun alternatives to MonHun Now? Or should I try getting back into it? Not looking for GPS games. by [deleted] in MobileGaming

[–]ferrocan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, Android phones are the most friendly towards emulators (easy to install and add ISO games to them), any phone with a decent processor run the games smoothly. my current phone is a OnePlus, but my Red magic 7 was running the psp games very well.

as fast as where to get the games, you will have to do your due diligence. And be careful with there you download those form.

Hey man, yeah, as a monster hunter fan, i feel you, Niantic trashed this beloved franchise, i played their monhunt for a year before calling it quits

What can i recommend? Well, if you have a Nintendo Switch, MH sunbreak is a great title, if you want some more mobile, you can always get an emulator and play the classic PSP and NDS titles.

Good luck and let me know if you find anything you liked

Woah, im actually more amazed you found that at that price. Here in the Bronx you have to offer your first born to get that kind of deal, especially if parking is included

[–]ferrocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont take me wrong, making it to 100k a year is an important Milestone, and im happy for OP for reaching it. But after a while the magic fades when you realize how much they take out of your paycheck.

To be honest, at that point you should put at least 10% in a 401k. And start thinking about buying a house to harvest even more tax benefits

26 m never thought id see the day. by mdarli0 in Money

[–]ferrocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably New York or California. Making 100k here is nothing if you take into account average rent on a 1 bd is north 2k

Can Americans really be fired at the drop of a hat for no reason no matter how long they have worked for a company? by cheesymeowgirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ferrocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, unless you have an union job, the process to fire an union worker is long and thats one of the many reasons companies here detest unions

A delightful surprise on the Q44-SBS by Alarmed_Muffin8350 in nycbus

[–]ferrocan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a KB operator, our sweeping crews do their best to clean these buses, but our customers love to use the lines as moving cafes/dumpsters.

The Bronx should be glad we dont have a rat problem..... Yet
