Public transport operator Go-Ahead Singapore announced that it will increase starting basic salary for its bus captains to $1,950 starting from Friday (July 1).
This is up from the $1,865 that was earlier revealed in the firm’s employment package in February this year.
Bus captains who are Singaporeans or permanent residents will receive the wage increase which also applies to existing bus captains as well as new-joiners.
Nigel Wood, Managing Director of Go-Ahead Singapore, said: “We want to enable our bus captains to grow both professionally and personally, and the updated salary will further complement the existing benefits that are already available to our bus captains.”
To date, Go-Ahead Singapore has hired 655 bus captains, and is targeting to recruit and train 700 bus captains.
The firm will operate 25 bus services at Loyang bus depot by the third quarter of 2016.
