Singapore has unveiled its first dedicated residence for bus drivers, complete with air-conditioned rooms, shared facilities and a depot right next door.

Joining us is Jeffrey Sim Vee Ming, Group Chief Executive Officer of SBS Transit, to discuss what it will take to make public transport careers more appealing, how operators are rethinking the job, and why attracting the next generation of bus captains matters to every commuter in Singapore.
