Description

Where do buses ‘sleep’ after a long day of operations? Well, if you live in the west that would likely be the Bulim Bus Depot, managed by Tower Transit! Join the Tower Transit team on this exclusive visit to a bus depot and meet the unsung heroes that keep our country moving.

This tour will take you through the many maintenance bays and workshops, giving you a firsthand look at the daily operations here. See where buses are serviced, refuelled and washed before they go back on the road. And with our team of experienced engineers on hand, you’ll get an insight into their passion for this industry and why they work tirelessly every day to keep Singapore running.

Meet your host!

Hi there, my name is Jenova Sebastian. For the past seven years, I have been a bus captain at Tower Transit Singapore (TTS). Each day I start my shift as early as 4:20am to get the first bus departing from Bukit Batok Bus Interchange.

What do you enjoy most about the job?

It’s always rewarding whenever a member of the public commends me for a job well done. During the time I worked here, I have won awards such as the Transport Gold Award by Singapore Kindness Movement, and that has kept me motivated to do what I do. My story of caring for a wheelchair user even made it into The Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao in 2021!
