The New York City Transit Authority is part of the New York State Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the largest public transportation agency in North America. It provides a unique and challenging career path to aspiring commercial drivers who are interested in driving buses through the Big Apple and New York State. To qualify for this position, you must obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) endorsement and no airbrake restrictions. A clean driving record, a medical examination, and a background check are also required. Aspiring drivers must complete the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider, which is a federal requirement mandated by FMCSA. The official CDL permit test is required for all applicants and it consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official New York DMV commercial driver’s manual (New York CDL Handbook 2025). To obtain certain endorsements, you must also pass their respective knowledge tests. The final step in the licensing process is a skills exam, which includes a pre-trip inspection, a basic control skills test, and a road test.
Our New York CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator can help you pass the official written exam on your first attempt, but you must put in the time and effort necessary to master this subject. This intuitive tool has been designed to simulate the test conditions at the DMV. Please avoid rushing through the 50 questions and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer from our simulator to let you study at your own pace.
Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. If you make a mistake, you will not receive any feedback, but the question will be automatically added to your Challenge Bank. Visit this section to identify areas that need improvement and learn from your mistakes before starting a new session. Start today and train with our New York CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator for several weeks. On exam day, you’ll already know what to expect at the DMV. Preparing in advance helps you build the confidence necessary to pass the official exam on your first attempt, but you must have patience during your learning phase.
