SG: LTA calls private operators to run services

When it comes to providing cheap and affordable connecting bus services, one will not think of a private transport company. With a smaller fleet, their profit is limited and they have to resort to higher fees to keep the company going. However, that is exactly what LTA were thinking of when they asked private operators to tender for the operation of 6 short connecting bus services. These 6 services will aid and assist to relieve crowded public bus services during peak periods and provide a relatively comfortable journey for those shuttling between an MRT station and a bus interchange. The six services which will have part of the route replicated are as follows: 265 in Ang Mo Kio, 285 in Clementi, 811 and 812 in Yishun, 903 in Marsiling, and 913 in Woodlands. There are further plans to implement even more of such services, along with the expansion of our public bus network. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
