In the latest exam for subway train operator, Train Operator exam 7603, the MTA has asked applicants to have a valid New York State driver's license. I drove a train for over 30 years and when I was promoted to train operator in 1984, there was no requirement for either a driver's license or a high school diploma.

NYC subway riders push AG Letitia James to probe OMNY cards after claims of extra charges, phantom fines

A crew of subway riders who say they’ve been overcharged and issued phantom fines on their MTA-issued OMNY cards want the state’s top prosecutor to investigate the alleged debacle, The Post has learned. The group Passengers United told The Post they are organizing rallies outside Attorney General Letitia James’ office to push for a probe into the tap-and-go fare system they claim hit hundreds of New Yorkers with overcharges and improper fees. “We want them to investigate [system developer] Cubic for defects with OMNY, including overcharges, [and that] it doesn’t show payments leading to erroneous fines from fare inspectors,” group president Charlton D’Souza told The Post. Passengers United members say they’ve been overcharged and given phantom fines on their MTA-issued OMNY cards and want AG James to investigate. Steven Hirsch for NY Post Bus-fare evasion is just the start of Kathy Hochul’s looming MTA cash woes In addition to James, the group sent letters to city and state lawmakers laying out the complaints, along with a petition demanding the MTA fix OMNY and restore unlimited passes. Gregory P. Mango for NY Post Cubic did not respond to a request for comment. Subway delays worsen as MTA touts solutions in 2050
