Transport of Singapore City - Buses (Tibs and SBS)

-Trans-Island Bus Services Ltd (Tibs) was incorporated on 31 May 1982. With an initial fleet of 37 buses on 2 bus services, Tibs rolled into operation on 3 April 1983, serving Woodlands/Sembawang corridors. Today, its network and bus fleet have expanded. It now has more than 800 buses on 65 routes with areas of operations mainly in the northern part of Singapore, namely Yishun, Woodlands, Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Sembawang, Bukit Batok and the upcoming Simpang New Town. Tibs merged with SMRT in 2001 and was rebranded as SMRT Buses Ltd on 10 May 2004.



-SBS Transit is one of the leading bus operators in this part of the world and started rail operations in 2003. It was formed in 1973 through the merger of three private bus companies and listed on the then Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES), now known as SGX, in 1978 as Singapore Bus Service Ltd.
In November 1997, Singapore Bus Service Ltd was renamed DelGro Corporation Ltd (Now ComfortDelGro Corporation Ltd) and the subsidiary Singapore Bus Services Ltd, was separately listed on the SGX. Singapore Bus Services Ltd changed its name to SBS Transit Ltd in November 2001 to reflect its bi-modal status as a bus and rail operator.
SBS Transit aims to provide world-class public transport which is safe, comfortable, affordable, reliable and friendly. Today, SBS Transit operates 192 route services with a scheduled fleet of about 2,400 buses. The buses serve 16 interchanges, 16 bus terminals and more than 3,000 bus stops. In 2003, SBS Transit started its light rail operations in Sengkang and also started operating its Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, the North East Line (NEL) in the same year. In 2005, SBS Transit began operating the Punggol LRT System. The passage of the a SBS costs up to $ 1,80.
