Withdrawal of PPSS
Originally conceived as a provisional improvement to feeder bus services during the peak hours (to meet BSEP route frequency requirement), PPSS taps on Private Bus Operators for additional buses, thereby adding capacity to these services when incumbent Public Transport Operators (PTOs) SBS Transit and SMRT Buses lack the resources to do so at that point of time.
With the introduction of the Bus Contracting Model (BCM), and adequate buses allocated to PTOs for the operation of these additional trips, PPSS routes were gradually transferred back to incumbent PTOs operating their parent bus service when the PPSS contracts expires, from 1 September 2016 to 20 January 2017. Some PPSS were offered contract extensions for several months.
When integrated with the incumbent PTOs routes, several PPSS routes remain as Short Trip Services, while others were replaced by additional trips on the parent services.
