🚨 MTA IT Services Update – DOBIC  Workaround 🚨

It looks like recent changes by MTA IT Services have removed our access to DOBIC (the Buses system, to access paddles and bulletins). However, I’ve found a workaround to access the paddles but you can only check for the current date. (Can't change to different date.)

Here’s what you need to do:  

• 1) Step 1: Find Your UPN
You’ll need to know your UPN (User Principal Name). You can find it using this website by entering your BSC, Date of Birth, and Zip Code:  
🔗 [Find Your UPN Here]
(https://myupn.mta.info/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJIyxZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWsjP7Z9OfnefTik66B9hCp4TEqa1eKqxIcS0eUkwVFS0igy90lqs6p3-Q_aem_e9jMd_JihOMnrAldG8jdPQ)  

• 2) Step 2: Use Your Default MTA Microsoft Account Password
Your default password follows this format:  
🔹 First initial of your first name (UPPER CASE)  
🔹 First initial of your last name (lower case)  
🔹 8-digit date of birth (MMDDYYYY)  

📌 Example:
If Mary Smith was born on February 8, 1960, her default password would be Ms02081960.  

If you experience difficulty logging in, contact the IT Service Desk at 📞  646-252-8888.  

• 3) Step 3: Access the Paddles (Save to Bookmarks)
Once you have your UPN and password, log in here:  
Remember you are using your new UPN style email address. (1234567@nyct.com)
🔗 [Access the Paddles]
(https://pr.mtabuscis.net/)

Make sure to follow all Duo Mobile sign-on procedures.

Hope this helps those who need access to the paddles daily! If you run into any issues, feel free to **join our Facebook group** and leave a comment on the post for assistance:
