That's why I feel puzzled by SBST's move. It doesn't reflect well
on Singapore being a city that "never sleeps". I don't believe
there are lesser people staying up till late. Night clubs, pubs in
clark quay and most shopping centres are still having their usual
night activities as per normal.
Either because SBST doesn't have many drivers willing to work on
such shifts, or the company is trying to cut some
operation costs after being fined a few weeks ago.
I believe before they were fined they had the intention to cut the
NightOwl trips already. At that time I believe its to stem diesel
costs.
The drivers doing the nightowls are daytime standby drivers,
except that on nights with Nightowl they do night shift. I dont
believe its a driver problem.
