[SINGAPORE] The second government bus contract has been awarded to a foreign public transport operator, The Go-Ahead Group from Britain, with local incumbents SBS Transit and SMRT missing out yet again.

Go-Ahead will operate the Loyang package of 25 bus services in Pasir Ris and Punggol, including three new routes, in two phases from the third quarter of 2016. These bus services are currently run by SBS Transit. Go-Ahead will also manage the existing Pasir Ris and Punggol bus interchanges as well as the new Loyang Bus Depot. This will be handed over to the company in December.
