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.
