no la. Different environment from SG might be one of the reasons.
fyi left hand drive and right hand drive is ok after adjusting to the local conditions which of course, takes time, so i won't rule out your post.

Maybe SMRT offering better? But if I'm not wrong that for all contract signed, in any case of breaking bond, you cannot immediately jump ship, gonna wait for at least 6 months.Cheers.

I read the news quite recently that more locals, including degree holders, took up the job as BC during recent recruitment drives by SBST and SMRT. Hope that relieves our local iron ricebowls.

Standard English, Madarin, Malay and Indian language.
And probably a third or fourth language for foreigners.

Suddenly, being a local driver is quite stressful. LoL...
If you are a foreigner, you will always have that million-dollar excuse. LoL...
No offence to anyone here.

Let me share some views (perhaps crappy) here...
Tell me to join a company as a citybus driver, maybe not. Think about the stress that you face in the city, driving through all those city drivers like yourself, getting full loads, sometimes radically full ones. Getting scolded by passengers. Worse of all, dangerous taxi drivers, who would cut between you and your colleagues' vehicles, causing any kind of accident... Good thing is more family time, shorter working hours.
Tell me to join as an intercity coach driver, yes, that is the choice I would not mind taking up. Seeing the road on expressways, driving long distances without stopping is an enjoyment you cannot get in city driving. Driving at high speed (within or not, the law limit) makes you feel free. The only bad thing is little family time and long working hours.
Personally I aim to drive long distances in the future. Being intercity or intercontinental driver would be a good choice for how I think...

Each replies have their merits and so do yours. U are entitled to your views and I respect that. Not too crappy in my opinion. Furthermore, you expanded the vocabulary of bus drivers and I welcome that.
