First bus package under GCM now up for tender

It includes around 380 buses and 26 routes.

The first bus package under the new Government Contracting Model has been put up for tender today by the Land Transport Authority, made up of 26 bus routes operating from three interchanges.

Both local and foreign bus operators may bid for the right to operate the package, which may start with about 380 buses leased to the operator in 2016, before growing to about 500 buses in 2021.

The 26 bus services will operate from three bus interchanges – Bukit Batok, Clementi and Jurong East; and terminate at five bus interchanges – Bedok, Boon Lay, Marina Centre, Shenton Way, and Toa Payoh. They will be supported by the new Bulim Bus Depot located off Jurong West Avenue 2.

The contract is for a term of five years, with the possibility of a two-year extension based on the operator’s performance.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
