SBS Transit's Q3 profit falls 20.6% YoY

Revenue declined 2.4% YoY to $386.45m, mainly due to lower bus service fees.

SBS Transit has reported a profit after tax of $14.45m for the third quarter of the year, down 20.6% year on year.

For the period, revenue declined 2.4% YoY to $386.45m, mainly due to lower bus service fees resulting from the loss of the Jurong West package from September 2024, coupled with lower fuel indexation.

Meanwhile, operating costs decreased mainly due to lower fuel and electricity costs resulting from lower diesel and electricity prices.

However, the group’s other commercial services grew due to higher advertising revenue.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
