Call them,Tell them your situation and see if they can move you to a further orientation....Most of the time if they already hired you they will accomodate your situation. Just try it...you have nothing to lose.

TRE is the light rail that goes from Irving to Euless. Have you tried putting the two addresses in google and searching bus routes?

You will have to make transfers. It's a PITA sometimes, but it's what you have to do if it is possible. I do it every day, going to work. With a car it takes me 20 mins to get to work, but I had to sell it. It now takes me 1.25 to 1.5 hrs each way and I walk roughly 1.5 miles per day....it sucks but it's cheap and it's all I have right now and I'm grateful for that

Irving, TX to Euless, TX - Google Maps

Not to be frank, but if you don't have the money or any family/friends to borrow from then your only option is to call the job and reschedule orientation until next week or sale/return something to get the money...most companies don't expect you to start for a a week or two anyway since you might have to resign from another job, so that would be my first option. If not, try selling something (furniture, clothes, books, electronics, etc...) on craigs list, donate plasma, pawn something...worse case, accept one of the other 3 positions and make arrangements to start next week. Best wishes!

Good news on the job front!
I agree with nurse 101: sell stuff on Craig's List, pawn stuff, sell plasma, etc.
Most places will let you roll back orientation one week, but that's all.
