In order to help bus captains differentiate the various stopping points, the authority said it is looking into "increasing the prominence of the height limit signage and the visibility of the markings of the taxi lots". Bus captains are also constantly reminded by the bus operators to look out for the height limit signs, and have increased emphasis of these signs when training new bus captains.

Tower Transit bus 97 was driving by the sheltered pick up bay opposite Vivocity today when it struck the roof of the structure.

So high tech, but research had indicated that pleasant scents can enhance moods. Good to see that the new bus company is going all out to provide a better and comfortable journey to its paying customers. Transport fares are rising, the least the bus companies can do is to make our journey as pleasant as possible. Hopefully, this move by Tower Transit will force the main players, SMRT and SBS Transit to up their game.

Bus operator Tower Transit admitted yesterday that in their push for recruitment, they might have hired more drivers than they had room for, and thus, six people who had been offered jobs by the company had their offers rescinded. The six drivers had already signed employment contracts with Tower Transit, but was told the company had over-hired, and thus, his job offer was canceled. This is really irresponsible of the bus company. How can they just cancel a nob offer, when a contract had already been signed?

This ensures a real work life balance, knowing your spouse is working in the same company with you. Some of the couples even have lunch together when their shift permits it. One of the drivers was also quoted in the report as saying, "When I know that my route will pass hers, I will keep a lookout for her. If we happen to cross paths, I will blow her a kiss and wave at her." So sweet!

A Tower Transit Bus 97E narrowly avoided crushing a woman pillion rider to death on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) today in an accident that sent 4 people taken to National University Hospital (NUH).

Singapore’s third local operator Tower Transit will roll out its services on 29 May. The bus contracting model, known as the Bulim Package was awarded to Tower Transit, a UK based company. The package states that 26 existing bus services that were formerly ran by SBS and SMRT will be run by Tower Transit. The implementation will take place in 3 phases. Tower Transit will operate from three bus interchanges – Bukit Batok, Clementi and Jurong East; and terminate at four bus interchanges – Bedok, Marina Centre, Shenton Way, and Toa Payoh.

I applaud n welcome you to Singapore. And that's how the drivers should be paid. But with the commensuration I would also like to see the following implementation

London-based Tower Transit announced its employment package and Singaporean bus drivers can earn a basic salary of $1,865 monthly. After additional allowances based on performance, safe driving and overtime, they can earn up to $3,000 every month.
