i am shocked to learn that singaporean bus drivers only earn ave
$1300 per month. how you expect the driver to feed a family with
that amount???? ya, if they put in over time etc, they may earn
more, bt what about stress and fatige?? drivers need full
concentration on the road. bus companies are earning hundreds of
millions every year and yet they are paying peanuts to their
drivers. of course, employing foreigners are even cheaper..
on top of that, our gov is approving their fare increases every
year
is singapore good for those who have $$$$$ only??????
From what I know, $1300 is like what other users mention which
is the basic pay whereby regardless are you driving anot you will
be entiltled with that.
There bonus that serves as add-on to their pay. Such bonus is
like DD bonus which mean drivers get paid more if they drive DD and
also of cause overtime which is the pay will be counted hourly. In
the other word:
Overtime 2 hours > SBST count as 2hr x 1.5time = 3 hrs
So, the driver will get paid for 3 hrs even though he just did 2
hr overtime.
So in conclusion what i was trying to point out is that drivers
do earn more than 1.3k
