A local bus company's salary offer of up to $5,000 for bus drivers has attracted over 1,400 applicants so far, almost half of them Singaporeans or Permanent Residents. Private bus company Westpoint Transit had announced its recruitment drive in December last year, offering at least $3,500 for drivers of its medium-sized buses and $5,000 for those driving the 45-seater charter buses. The already attractive offer was sweetened by a joining bonus of $7,500 or $10,000 depending on the bus size, with the requirement that they stay in the company for at least three years. According to Shin Min Daily News on Saturday (July 27), all of the 30 successful applicants so far are Singaporean, including five university graduates.

Liow had graduated from SIT with a degree in air transport management, but he'd always had an interest in buses and driving, Shin Min reported. Read more
