It’s lilac and orange in colour. Ties could pose a safety hazard as a deranged passenger may decide to choke the driver by pulling his tie.

^tamago^ SG

yup i saw it todae when i boarded a Tibs bus at Yishun.. thought it doesn't really fit into the company's colours, Tibs or SMRT.. and it's long sleeve, at a time when SBST decided to let drivers wear short sleeve..

Superbus SG

Hmm..there is no indication in the news that the CSS drivers will sport the new uniforms also. But I think they will. We'll see this Saturday.

Cheers and warm regards

I took TIB 778 X on sv 169, the driver wearing short sleeve.

wuming78 SG

pink london cab?!

SBS9818A SG

I think its up to driver discretion, whether they want to wear long or short sleeves.

Just saw it.. horrible! Gross! Yuck.. Shocked

I liked their previous uniform. The flowery yellow one.. It matches the paint scheme of TIBS buses very well.

This new uniform.. dosent even match the SMRT paint scheme!

wuming78 SG

Hey there everyone Smile

Hmmm... Seriously, I dont understand what's wrong with having lilac-coloured uniforms for Tibs and SMRT male service captains... They look very nice and friendly with their new uniforms, dont they? Razz CSS service captain'll also be wearing the new uniform, as they're under Tibs Smile You should also have noticed that Tibs service captains have to tuck in their shirts unlike previously, when they can choose to tuck in or tuck out their shirts... Wink

From what I heard when I asked a service captain, he said that the ties are only used for company functions... They arent required to wear it when they're driving, so it doesnt pose a safety hazard after all Smile To me, the former yellow flowerly uniforms leaves me an impression of a cheerful and friendly Tibs service captain, whereas the new uniform leaves me an impression of a professional, friendly, cheerful service captain providing excellent service to greater heights.

Today I saw one Tibs service captain, in the beginning I thought he's some office worker at HarbourFront.

The new uniform although presented with a professional look, it lacked the friendliness of the old uniform. I still prefer the previous uniform.

TIB822C SG

Hey there Off Service... Smile

I like both the yellow and the lilac uniforms... But prefer the previous one because it brings the cheerfulness and friendliness of the service captains... You're right actually Smile

I told that service captain which I asked him about the uniform that he looks somehow like a office worker if he wears the tie with his uniform and he laughed Smile [/quote]

Having seen both versions it looks quite all right and decent, it wasn’t the shocking pink we all expected. New professional look.

TropicalSQ744 SG

Come to think of it.. Isn't it ironic that this new uniform better matches the colour scheme of it's competitor, SBS Transit?

I mean TIBS is yellow, SMRT is red. But the shirt is light pink! It looks more like the SBS Transit colour scheme which is pruple and blue. Ironic.. Rolling Eyes

TIB822C SG

Hey there everyone Smile

But then... You should ask SBS Transit then for why they chose Green in the first place Smile Though I personally feel that the SMRT uniform matches SBS Transit more than Tibs and SMRT Wink For the simple reason being that it matches the SBS Transit colour scheme more Smile
