SBS Transit bags Bukit Merah Bus Package operation

The five-year contract will start in April 2024.

SBS Transit has won the five-year Bukit Merah Bus Package contract for the second consecutive term.

In a statement, SBS Transit said the contract which can be extended by between two and five years, is composed of 17 bus services including two cross-border services to Johor Bahru. The services will still start from two bus interchanges, Bukit Merah and HarbourFront, and four bus terminals Kampong Bahru, Marina Centre, Queen Street and Shenton Way.

This also marks the third bus tender it won under the new Bus Contracting Model.

Under its proposal, the company committed to establishing a new Bus Captain Training and Certification Centre to improve driving proficiency and road safety.

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.
