From what I heard during my lifeskills lessons on careers, a BC would earn an average of approximately $2000. I am not sure of the exact value by the way.

NightRider services are mostly crewed by part time drivers who only drive during the nights that these services operate.Originally posted by patdog112:what is the average hour..?

i think shortage la. many people whom i spoke to (esp uncles) avoid joining bus companies and they rather stick to become taxi driver or earn less as delivery driver earning abt $1.2K only per mth with no OT. and i know a few malay uncles prefer to drive private buses. possibility of avoiding public bus companies:Originally posted by patdog112:is singapore shortage of bc or too sufficient?
- long working hrs (from dawn till past midnight; not counting the time needed to wake up or even reach home!!!), work shift, even work on public holidays
- encountering fcuk type pax
- need to drive fixed routes again and again (boring)
- receive complaints easily
- need to wear uniform and stick closely to route schedules
- low salary as compared to other similar occupations
- etc etc -
talking abt taxi drivers...is the eligibility for part-time drivers same as the full-time one?..30 yrs old etc...

For SLBP is defintely shortage of BC... Some SLBP BCs need to do double shifts. Well almost double... Usually is A shift. Then followed by 2nd half of S shift. For the morning part of that S shift, no bus turn up.Originally posted by patdog112:is singapore shortage of bc or too sufficient? -
erm its actually called "sam bong" means for an A/P shift bus with no P shift driver, the A shift driver drives a round trip for the P shift before going off service to depot. That's for long haul routes. Short haul dunno how many trips... good gauge is 6+ or 7+... meaning to say that the A shift driver is as good as a T shift driver with 13h35 payhourOriginally posted by stooper:For SLBP is defintely shortage of BC...

No lah, that's a different thing.Originally posted by service_238:erm its actually called "sam bong" means for an A/P shift bus with no P shift driver, the A shift driver drives a round trip for the P shift before going off service to depot.

I'm saying that after driving the A shift. (normal P-shift BC takes over) The BC has a break then goes to depot to get the S shift bus out and drive the 2nd half of the S shift. In the AM peak, that S shift bus did not even operate, leaving an empty timeslot.
I've seen this happen many times, especially on 179. For the normal Weekday timetable, there are even a lack of permanent BCs! There will be at least 3 standby/other svc BCs on 179 daily. -
then normally what is a bc driving hours on the route..?
what is all the different timing..?and their respecitive hours..?
etc taxi some is
AM - 6++ to 2PM ++
PM 2++ to 11PM ++
MID nite 12AM to Morning..
what r the buses one?
anybody has license here..? class 3..? -
It would depend on the hirer of the vehicle for taxi driver...
They can choose to drive full shift untill they cannot tahan and park their vehicle and go home sleep. -
I think I know the various shift for both MRT and Bus.
AM shift: BCs who operates the first 3-5 buses will work on this shift.
PM Shift: BCs who operates the first buses entering depot at end of operation hours.
Whole working day shift: BCs working from 7 am to 7 pm.
Split shift: BCs who drive AM peak buses and heads back depot after AM peak hours and same BC will operate the same bus again for PM peak.
PM peak start shift: BCs who starts work at PM peak and would end his day as the last few buses to enter depot. -
SMRT Part timers mostly those who have stable 5 days job during weekdays.
SBST don't encourage part timers.
SBST,Good bus services but some internal rules are just too much for BCs.Route Masters mostly loves to taro BCs even for the slightest complain.
Many road users dislike SBST in terms of old time memories where the ex-BCs are rude,Attitude problems etc.Buses to slow thats why many reluctant to give way.The full day bus lane scheme and give way to buses are mostly from SBST sides.A lot of blur BCs as some said,Taxi drivers loves to kacau SBST buses
SMRT,A lot of Singaporeans also,Buses are almost fast,Bus service a bit of sucks,But 60% Road users would not hesitate to give way to them cause the buses accelerate faster.A lot of skill SLs some from private buses/Trailer drivers but a lot of speeding cause reckless driving which mean more accident.
A lot of gung-ho SL too
