Tower Transit: First foreign public bus operator
Spore’s first foreign public bus operator Tower Transit is hoping to jolt things up further by offering higher basic starting pay, trimming the workload of bus captains and treating them as “professionals”. Their drivers need not carry out duties such as refuelling, cleaning and parking the buses at the end of their day, unlike their counterparts at SBS Transit and SMRT. And annual wage increments will be based on cost of living increases rather than work performance.
