LTA said that the existing CDS 651, which has been re-tendered and awarded to Rui Feng Chartered Pte Ltd after the previous contract expired in August 2016, will continue to serve Jurong West. Its route and operational details will remain unchanged.

It also added that 18 additional trips have been added to nine of the services due to the popularity of the 20 existing CDS. The average ridership per trip for all CDS is about 40 to 50 commuters. For example, since its introduction, 3 additional trips have been progressively added to CDS 652 in the morning.

加班工酬纠纷 五名巴士司机状告新捷运

五名巴士司机分别状告本地巴士业者新捷运(SBS Transit),指责后者违反加班工酬条款,支付不足工酬。 Carson律师楼律师拉维(M RAVI),在上周五代表上述巴士司机提呈传讯令状,内容有关这些起诉人指控该公司“违反合同上的加班费条款,且支付不足薪酬”。 律师拉维认为,有关诉讼也将探讨有关雇佣合同在休息日和加班工酬方面,是否涉及违反《雇佣法》。 至于新捷运企业沟通副主席Tammy Tan则在昨晚向本社证实,上述五名巴士司机经由Carson律师楼提呈的诉状,并正与律师商讨,有意针对相关指控进行辩护。 这些司机已在该公司任职三至10年不等。在上周五提呈的诉状中,也提及其中四名司机,曾向推事庭提呈类似的诉讼。尽管在今年7月和八日,出席了两次与国家交通工友联合会(NTWU)和康福德高的会谈,不过他们认为控诉和报告未受到重视。 原告也申诉到劳资政纠纷调解联盟(TADM),也被转介给职工总会(NTUC)。不过基于没有得到“结论性的答复”,他们向新捷运发函,要求解释每月薪资明细。 “尽管当时新捷运同意这些司机在两日后回函,不过此后没有再收到任何回复,于是他们再向新捷运连发四封追问邮件。” 诉状中提及的控诉,包括原告指责他们被预期在休假日之前,可以“连续7日工作无休”,这不符合双方同意的聘任书,故此可能违反《雇佣法》36条,即员工理应每周获得休息日,或者值班超过30小时理应获休假。 原告也指控被要求“每周工作超过44小时”,也违反《雇佣法》规定的法定工时。…
