A new wage model will allow an average local bus driver working at SMRT to earn as much as $1,000 more, or $3,500 a month.
Previously, he could make about $2,500 a month, including overtime, allowances and performance incentives.
The new scheme, called a progressive wage model, also has more ranks and broader salary ranges, a change that promises greater career opportunities.
There will be six ranks for moving up, an increase from three. Also, career advancement is clearly spelt out, with tailored training at each rank for drivers
