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!

dun work loh, protest, see who can drive the bus for themOriginally posted by carbikebus:Nowadays you can't expect much as more services are being affected by cost savings,OT Cut down by 30% and there's a limit of working hours too,Example BNDEP s21 pm shift BC,Twice a month he had to drive other service which does not even exceed 8 hrs work.There's rumours that SBST will follow suit SMRTB style that is 5 days week work,So i expect another 100-150 sgd gone!
