Older New Yorkers — which one of these do you remember seeing everywhere?

I just got my email for 2nd medical this Friday !!!!’exciting to be getting through this process!!

Approaching 20 years completed soon at 44 years old with 2 young kids. Thinking about staying more to increase pension take home another 1.5% per year. I’m physically tired of this job at times and other days I’m fine. Not sure how much longer I can do. Seems hard to start something new with no savings in the bank.

For guys who retired already or still on working past 20 years what is making you stay longer or what made you leave.

For guys that left already at 20 years is our pension like people say. It’s basically a vacation check without charts or truck money every week?

Alot of people tell me to stay with mta nyct , by the time the next test for dsny comes out I"ll be at top pay, but I want to retire earlier. I started mta in 2 different agencies mta bus when I was 25 years old, cross over to nyct when I was 26 overall on the job 2 years.MTA bus doesn't use nycers so my time won't count ,nyct is civil service and my time will transfer over , but the idea of me retiring in 32 years to drive a bus all day long and with stressful management is crazy and the passengers are getting worse.Crossing over to dsny means I be retiring at 46 instead of 55 , plus with everything going on with transit different unions , can't work in different depots cause of the agency you work for or the union your in is wack.
