Roadshow on new bus model ends next week

[SINGAPORE] The Land Transport Authority will very soon complete a key preliminary step for Singapore's new bus contracting model when its three-week long roadshow to local and international operators ends early next week.

This will pave the way for better-informed interested parties to submit their bids for a tender that will start at the end of next month.

An LTA spokesperson told The Business Times that the briefings, held from end July to mid-August, were key as it allowed the regulator to reach out to a "wider spread of potential tenderers" and by doing so, get proposals that will best meet the needs of commuters.
