"The new technology allows drivers to see actual New York streets and experiences, which ultimately makes bus rides safer for customers. The more we can give them real tools to simulate what real life is like, the better they're going to be once they hit the road."
"MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber noted that many new drivers today are accustomed to virtual reality, suggesting that this training technology will likely help them become proficient more quickly."
The MTA launched new bus simulators on April 19 at the Zerega Bus Depot for driver training. These simulators replicate New York City streets, featuring realistic controls and immersive environments. They help train new drivers by simulating various challenges, including heavy traffic and weather conditions. MTA officials noted that the technology improves safety for passengers. MTA President Demetrius Crichlow and Chair Janno Lieber tested the simulators, emphasizing their effectiveness in preparing drivers for real-life scenarios and enhancing their skills.
