Go-Ahead Singapore is a future Singapore bus operator that will commence trading in quarter 3 of 2016. It is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group.

History

In April 2015, the Land Transport Authority called for tenders to operate 25 routes based on Changi Airport Bus Terminal, Changi Village Bus Terminal, Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, and Punggol Bus Interchange out of Loyang Bus Depot as part of its new contracting model.[1] Busways, Go-Ahead Group, Keolis, RATP Group/Transdev, SBS Transit, SMRT Buses, Tian Tan Shipping/Kumho Construction and Woodlands Transport lodged bids.[2]

In November 2015, the Land Transport Authority awarded Go-Ahead the contract with Go-Ahead Singapore to commence operations in quarter 3 of 2016. The contract will run for five years with an option to extend for a further two years.[3][4][5]

Services

Go-Ahead Singapore will commence operating about 22 services in quarter 3 of 2016 with another three routes to be phased in at a later date. [6]
