Private bus company Westpoint Transit was recently in the news for its salary offer of up to $5,000 for bus drivers. The response to the recruitment drive was overwhelming, with over 1,400 applicants, and even 5 uni grads among the 30 drivers that were finally hired. Lionel Lee, director of Westpoint Transit, makes a stop at the YLB studio to tell us why they decided on this bold move, the challenges of navigating a family business, and why it’s crucial to encourage more Singaporeans to become bus drivers. Oh, we also nerd out on artisanal buses.
