SINGAPORE — Tower Transit’s Bulim Bus Depot was officially opened yesterday (Dec 6) by Member of Parliament for Hong Kah North Amy Khor, at a carnival held at the depot.
More than 2,000 people attended the event, which saw Tower Transit staff giving public tours of the depot’s facilities. Tower Transit also unveiled its official uniforms after an online poll held over the last two months. The winning design, featuring Tower Transit’s green and white corporate colours, won over 1,500 of the 3,605 votes.
From the middle of next year, Tower Transit will run 26 bus services from the depot, serving Bukit Batok, Clementi and Jurong East interchanges. It said it will train bus drivers at its depot until operations commence.
The Land Transport Authority handed over the depot to Tower Transit in July, after the company won the tender under the new contracting model for bus services. The company plans to hire more than 700 bus drivers by mid-next year. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
