  What is the pay and working hours of bus drivers?
  
  Do they work on every day of the week or on every public holiday?

  Let me get this clear,SBS Transit basic pay is far more higher than SMRT Buses,But in allowances SMRT Buses ones are slightly higher than SBST.Overall when they take monthly pay it is nearly the same.
  
  SBS Transit Double-Decker allowances per day $4
  SMRT buses Bendy allowances per day $8
  SBST Monthly accident free bonus $80-6 Month acc free $380
  SMRTB Monthly accident free bonus $120-150-6 month acc free $500(not sure)
  SBST Starting basic pay $1200(Unlike previous $936-1000 depends on class of licence)
  SMRTB Starting basic pay $654-755
  SBST are prone to speed trap,Public complaints& Early arrivals SMRTB are quite relaxed in terms of regulation except for early arrivals
  SBST bonuses are twice a year
  SMRTB bonuses are thrice a year
  SBST BC are quite relaxed in terms of working off day/Continued another shift/trip
  SMRTB are quite hectic in term of being forced to work 2 shift/Off days due to shortage of manpower
  
  Overall SBST BCs earn around $1.400-$2,500(salary twice a month)
  Overall SMRTB SCs earn around $1,300-$2,300(salary twice a month)
  Both are excluding CPF cut

  Thanks to an article in the Today newspaper a few days ago. The magical numbers are 8 and 1.5!
  
  Ok! Based on the above examples.
  For 26E, the actual overtime is 3h29 (11h29 - 8h) Multiply this by 1.5 and it's rounded off to 5h14. Add this back to the basic time, and you get 13h14!
  
  For 17S, the actual overtime is 1h48 (9h48 - 8h). Multiply by 1.5 and you get 2h42. Add this back to 8h and you get 10h42!
