STATEMENT BY CEO
My fellow colleagues,
The publication of this Bus Captain Handbook marks a significant step forward
towards rejuvenating SBS Transit Roblox as a whole.
This handbook serves as a training guide for the onboarding of new Bus Captains, as
well as provides refresher information on operating procedures and shift sessions for
existing Bus Captains.
True to our vision, mission and core beliefs, safety is paramount. Prior to the creation
of this handbook, there were several topics that were not covered during the training
brief at the Centre of Excellence for Training (CET). I advise all new and existing Bus
Captains to take a look at the new topics covered in this handbook.
Please take note that this handbook was created for the sole purpose of SBS Transit
Roblox training and should not be used for real life driving purposes.
I would like to thank all our staff for your hard work and commitment to keeping the
residents of Kanford and Waynes Towns moving. You have remained focussed in
providing safe and reliable public transport services to our passengers.

DRIVER IMPROVEMENT POINTS

DIPS is designed to identify and rehabilitate errant drivers through a system of
rewards and punishments. Errant motorists are thus encouraged to improve their
driving behaviours on the roads with incentives to expunge their demerit points and
previous suspension record as well as remission of the suspension period.
Under DIPS, a motorist (with no prior suspension record) who accumulates 24 or

more demerit points within 24 months will be suspended for a period of 12 weeks.
If a motorist has been previously suspended, their licence will be liable for
subsequent suspension if they accumulate 12 or more demerit points within 12
consecutive months.
The suspension periods after the 1st suspension are as follows:
(a) 2nd suspension: 24 weeks

(b) 3rd suspension: 1 year
(c) 4th suspension: 2 years
(d) 5th suspension (onwards): 3 years.

A continuous white line is the centre line of a two-way

road. You must keep to the left of this line. Parking is not
allowed on both sides of the road at all times.
Your vehicle can only cross this line when the road ahead
is clear and it is safe to do so.
Two continuous white lines
Two continuous white lines at the centre of a two-way

road indicate no cutting across and no parking on both
sides of the road at all times.
Overtaking is also not allowed unless your vehicle

remains entirely to the left of the parallel lines.
Making a right turn or a U-turn is not allowed as well.

A continuous yellow line at the side
Indicates no parking on that side of the road between

7am to 7pm except on Sundays and public holidays.

bus lanes.
Full-day bus lanes
Have an additional red line marked parallel to the

yellow line.
Yellow box
Vehicles on the main road must not stop in the yellow

box and cause obstruction to traffic from the side road
on the left. Keep the box clear to allow vehicles from
the side road to enter the main road when traffic is held

31
CODE OF CONDUCT
1. Moving Off
1. Give the proper signal, look around to check on traffic and pedestrians.
Move off only when you can do so safely and without causing
inconvenience to other road users. Give way to passing and overtaking
vehicles.
2. Signals
1.
2. Always give clear signals well in advance of your intentions (at least 3
seconds) before your manoeuvre so that other road users can interact
safely.
3. Driving Along
1. A good driver automatically reduces speed when:
a. Entering a built-up area.
b. Approaching a school or a stationary bus with children alighting
from or boarding it.
c. Travelling on narrow winding roads.
d. Approaching children who are playing.
e. Approaching a bend, brow of a hill, or other obstruction that limits
his/her view.
f. The road surface is wet.
4. Tailgating
1. Tailgating, or following too closely behind another vehicle is a dangerous
practice. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, an accident is inevitable
since you will not be able to stop in time. Tailgating also makes the driver
in front nervous and can cause him/her to be involved in an accident.
5. Two-Second Rule
1. A simple way to ensure a safe gap between you and the vehicle in front is
-
stationary object, such as a lamp post on the side of the road, start
-thousand-and-one, one thousand-and-
will take you 2 seconds. If you reach the same spot before you finish these
eight words, you are following too closely, and it is necessary to slow
down. This rule will keep you at a safe following distance and will apply to
all types of vehicles at any speed.
6. Reversing
1. Before you reverse, make sure that there are no children or other
pedestrians or obstructions in the blind areas behind you.
2. Do not reverse from a side road/minor road into a main road.
3. If your view to the rear is restricted, get help when reversing.
7. Safety Of Pedestrians
1. Pedestrians have the right-of-way at Pedestrian Crossings.
2. When approaching a pedestrian crossing, slow down and do not overtake
other vehicles.
3. When approaching a pedestrian crossing, ALWAYS
a. be ready to slow down or stop so as to give way to pedestrians;
b. signal to other drivers your intention to slow down or stop;
4. At a pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic signals or by a policeman,
give way to pedestrians who are still crossing even when the signal allows
vehicles to move.
8. Driving Along
1. Adjust your speed to the speed of the traffic around you so as not to slow
down traffic behind you (road hogging). Even when you are driving on the
left-hand side of the roadway, do not drive slowly at below 15km/h of the
stipulated speed limits of the road.
2. It is courteous to give the right-of-way to others when circumstances
permit.
3. When right-of-
gesture.
33
9. Signalling
1. Give appropriate signals early to allow others to act on them in time.
2. Cancel your signals when they are not in use so as not to confuse others.
10. Use Of Horn

1. Sound the horn only to warn other road users of dangers such as a likely
collision.
2. Do not use the horn to express anger or frustration.
3. Do not use the horn to demand the right-of-way or bull doze your way
through crowded places.
4. Sounding your horn when driving is unnecessary, except as a warning. In
some areas e.g. near a school or hospital, it is an offence to use the horn,
except to avoid an accident.
11. Lane Discipline

1. Keep to the left of the road and leave the other lanes for other faster
moving vehicles to pass safely.
2. Keep within your lane. It is inconsiderate to straddle lanes as this would
obstruct other vehicles and may lead to traffic being held up.
3. Do not weave in and out of traffic lanes as it would cause confusion and
danger to others.
4. Cutting into the path of other vehicles is discourteous/inconsiderate and
likely to cause an accident and road rage.
12. At Road Junctions

1. Move into the correct lane early at road junctions to let others know your
intended direction of travel.
2. When making right turns, position your vehicle properly so that it does not
hinder oncoming vehicles.
13. Overtaking
1. Overtake only when it is absolutely necessary.
2. Overtake only when you are sure that there are no other vehicles
attempting to pass or overtake you.
3. Slow down and keep left when being overtaken to allow the overtaking
vehicle to pass quickly.
4. Accelerating when others are trying to overtake you is unsafe and
discourteous.
5. Cutting into the path of another vehicle after overtaking it is discourteous
and likely to anger the driver and cause an accident.
14. Following Distance

1. Keep a safe following distance from the vehicle in front so as to allow
yourself enough room to stop safely should the vehicle in front stop
abruptly.
2. Do not harass the vehicle in front by tailgating it. This is a dangerous
practice which could easily lead to an accident.
3. Flashing your headlights or blasting the horn at slower moving vehicles in
front of you is rude.
15. Stopping & Parking

1. Always stop or park close to the edge of the road.
2. Always stop or park at places where you would not cause any
inconvenience to other road users.
3. When parking your vehicle in a parking lot, be considerate by parking
your vehicle parallel to and in the centre of the lot.
4. Wait for your turn when looking for a parking lot. It is rude to jump queue
or force your way into a lot when another vehicle is trying to get into the
parking lot.
16. Lights
1. -lamps and/or direction
indicators are not working.
2. Headlights should be switched on from 7pm to 7am or when visibility is
low.
35
TRAFFIC RULES & REGULATIONS

1. Keep Left Rule
1. When driving along two-way streets, keep well to the left and as near as
practicable to the boundary of the road, except when you intend to
overtake or turn right. Do not hog the middle of the road. This applies to
dual-carriageways as well.
2. You must not cross the centre line at bends, near the crest of a rise or
anywhere else where you cannot clearly see the road ahead.
3. Sometimes your path of travel may be obstructed by road works, parked
vehicles etc. In such circumstances, to avoid the obstruction, take extra
care to ensure that your intended path is safe and clear before you move
to the right. You may cross the centre line if the roads are narrow.
2. Lane Discipline
1. You must obey the directions indicated by arrows marked in the lanes. See
illustration below. You must not change lanes suddenly as you may
inconvenience or endanger other motorists. When changing lanes, give
sufficient warning of your intention. Always signal in advance. Failure to
do so could cause an accident.
2. In traffic hold-
by squeezing between lanes and overtaking recklessly is courting disaster.
Always be patient and have consideration for other road users.
3. Well before you reach a junction, make sure that you get into the correct
lane for whichever direction you wish to take.
4. On a two-lane carriageway, keep to the lefthand lane except when
overtaking.
3. Overtaking
1. Never overtake unless you can do so without endangering yourself or
others. Be especially careful at night, and in heavy rain and mist. When
visibility is poor, it becomes more difficult to judge speed and distance.
2. Always overtake on the right. There are, however, a few exceptions to this
rule when you can overtake on the left:
a. When the driver in front has signalled his/her intention to turn right.
b. When you want to turn left at a junction.
c. When traffic is moving slowly in queues and vehicles in the lanes on
your right are moving more slowly than you are.
d. On one-way streets (but not dual-carriageways) where vehicles may
pass on either side.
3. After overtaking, return to the appropriate lane on the road as soon as it is
safe to do so, but do not cut in sharply in front of the vehicle you have just
overtaken.
4. Do not overtake when you are at, or when you are approaching:
a. A pedestrian crossing.
b. A road junction.
c. A corner or bend.
d. The brow of a hill.
e. Double white lines.
5. Do not overtake:
a. Where the road narrows.
b. If it would force another vehicle to swerve or reduce speed.
c. If in doubt.
6. Do not increase your speed while being overtaken. Slow down if necessary
to let the overtaking vehicle pass.
7. In the following cases, overtaking is dangerous and should not be
attempted:
a. When the car in front of you is about to overtake the car in front of
it.
b. When the car in front is changing from the left to the right lane in
order to make a right turn.
c. When you have to get into the path of oncoming traffic in order to
overtake.
4. Road Hogging
1. Motorists who travel at a slow speed should keep to the left side of the
road; this applies especially to small capacity motorcycles, goods vehicles
and lorries. You should only use the right-hand lane when overtaking or
when you are about to turn right or make a U-turn.
37
5. Speed Limit
1. Unless otherwise stated, the speed limit of all roads in Singapore is 50
km/h. Do not exceed the speed limit of your vehicle or the road, whichever
is the lesser.
2.
6.
1. When approaching a junction with a major road, slow down gradually and
before the stop-line.

2.
a. If you are going straight across the junction, you must give way to
traffic going straight from the right.
b. If you are turning right, you must give way to traffic going straight
from all directions, as well as traffic turning right from the right and
traffic turning left from the opposite direction.
c. If you are turning left, you must give way to traffic going straight
from the right.
7. Roundabouts
1. Slow down when approaching a roundabout and give way to traffic on
your right.
2. The general rule is that:
a.
b.
8. Driving On Expressways
1. Do not drive, move or stop on road shoulder or verge unless in the event
of a breakdown, accident or emergency.
2. Vehicles which have a speed limit of 60 km/h and below shall be driven
along the left-hand lane of the expressway.
3. Cycling, skating and walking are prohibited on expressways.
39
9. Yellow Box
1. It is an offence for any driver to drive his/her vehicle into a junction
marked with a yellow box and cause obstruction even if the lights are in
his/her favour. However, there are certain situations in which a driver or
rider will not be penalised for entering the yellow-box junction.
a. Situation One
The first is when the turning vehicles in a box-junction do not block
other vehicles. Only drivers of turning vehicles A, B and C and NOT those
marked X may enter the yellow box when their exit lanes from it are
blocked by other vehicles. Should the traffic lights change to red,
vehicles A, B and C would not cause any obstruction to other vehicles.
However, vehicles marked X would be obstructing traffic should the
lights change and the drivers will be penalised, as such they should wait
behind the stop-
b. Situation Two
The second situation is when motorists are waiting in the yellow box
while trying to turn right in the face of oncoming traffic. Drivers of
vehicles marked A, B and C can remain in the box until a suitable
opportunity arises for them to complete their turns.
Should the lights turn red against them, they should proceed to
complete their turn and clear the yellow box junction.
41
b. Situation Three
The third situation is when motorists are waiting in a yellow box junction
while making left or right turns because of pedestrians crossing the road.
The diagram shows that the drivers of vehicles A, B, C, D and E may enter
the yellow box even when they are prevented from executing their turns
by pedestrians using the crossings.
10. U-Turns
1. Do not make a U-turn at any road intersection, junction or any opening in
a road divider except where a U-turn sign is located.
2. Always negotiate a U-turn carefully, especially if roadside trees or hedges
are obstructing your view of oncoming traffic. As you turn, be alert for any
vehicles, especially motorcycles, which may be turning together with you
on your right.
11. Stopping & Parking

1. Do not park or let your vehicle wait:
a. At a bend, the brow of a hill or a bridge.
b. On a footway or cycle track.
c. Near traffic lights or pedestrian crossings.
d. On a main road or on a road carrying fast moving traffic.
e. Opposite or nearly opposite another stationary vehicle across the
road, or other obstructions (eg. road repairs).
f. Abreast of another vehicle.
g. Within 6 metres (20 feet) of an intersection or junction of any road
or street (as shown in the diagram below).
h. Within 9 metres (30 feet) of a bus stop (from the edge of a yellow
demarcated box or from the tip of a bus bay except when the
vehicle breaks down owing to a defect in the vehicle or its tyres).
i. Within 3 meters (10 feet) on either side of fire hydrant.
j. Where it will obstruct any entrance.
k. Facing oncoming traffic.
l. Along any slip road.
m. On a flyover, underpass or ramp leading to a flyover or underpass.
n. On a grass verge or on a road shoulder.
o. In any bus lane.
p. In any designated taxi stop (except taxis).
q. In any taxi stand (except taxis).
r.
s.
2. (Note: Parking means to bring the vehicle to a stationary position and
cause it to wait other than for the immediate picking up or letting down of
passengers.)

NOBE (Bus Card Validators)
The New Onboard Bus Equipment (NOBE) was introduced to SBS Transit Roblox in
2023. This new version replaces the old validators which were used from 2019, when
SBS Transit Roblox first commenced operations in Kanford Town.
The default state of the validators is as such:
Once the Electronic Display System has been enabled, the validators will be activated.
There are 2 states in which the validators will be in:
1. Door Closed, No Touch In / Out Allowed
2. Door Open, Touch In / Out Allowed
Trapeze Driver Display Unit

All buses are fitted with the Trapeze Driver Display Unit (DDU). This allows Bus
Captains to monitor their headway throughout the trip and to make adjustments to
their speed in order to maintain a good headway and on-time arrival.
The default state of the Trapeze DDU is as such:

47
Your departure time will be given by the operations officer through our Shift Sheet.
To bring up the departure time entry page, click on the bottom right key and
enter your departure time (24 hours). After which, click on the thumbs up symbol to
confirm the departure time. The thumbs down symbol is used to remove the
departure time from the system.
key to bring you back to the main page. You may then proceed to the first stop once
your EDS has been set.
The timings for on-time arrival at each bus stop will be displayed and the status of
OTAwill be shown on the top right (Green On Time, Amber Late, Blue Early)
To bring up canned announcements, click on the microphone symbol on the

bottom left of the screen. Use the F1 to F4 buttons on the right to play each
announcement.
Collision Avoidance System

All buses are fitted with a Collision Avoidance System. There are 3 models fitted
fleetwide. These include: Mobileye, TNT Surveillance and ST Engineering DriveSafe.
The Mobileye and TNT Surveillance systems are similar and will only be covered once
with demonstration using the Mobileye unit. A green symbol indicates that the
vehicle has a safe distance from the vehicle in front or that the road ahead is clear.
49
A red symbol with white lines on both sides indicate that the vehicle is not keeping
a safe following distance and driver action should be taken to increase this distance.
An enlarged red symbol indicates that your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front and may cause an accident if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Immediate
action should be taken to create distance between you and the vehicle in front.
The ST Engineering DriveSafe Collision Avoidance System uses a different unit and
layout as opposed to the Mobileye and TNT Surveillance systems.
This is the default view when there are no obstructions in front of the vehicle.
An amber symbol indicate that the vehicle is not keeping a safe following distance
and driver action should be taken to increase this distance.
51
A red symbol indicates that your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in front and may
cause an accident if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Immediate action should be
taken to create distance between you and the vehicle in front.

DRIVING IN SPECIAL ZONES

School Zones
Children are vulnerable road users with limited experience using the roads, thus it is
of paramount importance to keep school zones safe.
Several road engineering measures have been installed in school zones to enhance
safety. These include:
a. Prominent school zone signs that remind motorists to drive carefully
b. Traffic calming measures such as road humps
c. Pedestrian crossings
d. Parking restriction lines
e. Railings along the road centre to deter jaywalking
f. Parts of the road surface near the school gate are covered with a red texture to
children crossing the road.

57
Silver Zones
Silver zones are designated areas with enhanced road safety engineering measures
such as new signs, road features and markings to change the character of the street,
making it safe and more convenient for senior pedestrians to cross the road.
Silver zones are found in selected housing estates with high senior populations,
relatively higher accident rates involving senior and proximity to places where
seniors frequent.
Several road safety engineering measures have been installed in silver zones to
enhance road safety for all road users, senior pedestrians in particular. These includes:
a. Silver zone gateway treatment which includes signs and road markings to
indicate the start of a silver zone.
b. Setback crossings to provide reduced crossing distance for pedestrians.
c. 2-stage crossings so that pedestrians can rest momentarily at the pedestrian
refuge (centre divider) before continuing to cross the road
d.
e. Traffic calming measures such as chicanes and eye-lands (horizontal curves
constructed along existing straight stretches of roads), pinch points (narrowed
lanes to slow motorists down) and bus-friendly humps.
f. Silver zone bollards at crossings to highlight the crossing points.
DRIVING IN TUNNELS
a. Turn on the vehicle headlights;

b. Follow the traffic signs;
c. Heavy vehicles to keep left;
d. Stay in lane;
Existing Rules
a. Do not stop your vehicle unless in the case of an accident, breakdown,
emergency or when lawfully required to do so;
b. Do not make any U-turns or reverse your vehicle.
Tunnel-Specific Rules
a. Do not alight from your vehicle unless in an emergency;
b. Do not use your horn except in an emergency;
c. Do not overtake;
d. Do not tailgate;
e. Do not speed.
The following is a list of vehicles which are prohibited in the tunnel:

a. Vehicle whose overall height is 4.5 metres or above;
b. Vehicle whose overall width exceeds 3 metres;
c. Vehicle whose overall length exceeds 13 metres;
d. Vehicle with speed limit of 40km/h and below.
Vehicles which have a speed limit of 60km/h and below shall be driven along the left
lane of the expressway.

LANE USE & VMS

Lane Use Signs
Lane Use Signs are overhead signs in the KCE tunnels which are used to inform
motorists of any precautions to take prior to proceeding ahead on the lane. Each lane
use sign will display either a green-down arrow, flashing amber cross or a red cross. A
green-down arrow indicates that a motorist can drive on ahead; a flashing amber
cross indicates that a motorist needs to drive with caution (e.g. obstructions on the
lane ahead); and a red cross indicates that a motorist shall not proceed beyond the
sign. Motorists travelling in the tunnel are to adhere to the displays shown on these
overhead lane use signs.
Variable Message Signs (VMS)
The Variable Message Signs on the road are used to disseminate traffic condition
information to motorists.
There are various types of Variable Message Signs along the tunnels and at arterial
roads leading to tunnels:
a. Entrance Variable Message Signs (EVMS): Located at the entrance of the slip road
leading into the tunnel.
b. Arterial Variable Message Signs (AVMS): Located along an arterial road that leads
to the entrance to the tunnel.
c. Tunnel Variable Message Signs (TVMS): An overhead sign located in the tunnel.
For closure of the KCE tunnel, barriers and traffic signal controls at entry slip road
approaches will be activated.
Variable speed limit signs are also provided in the KCE tunnels. In smooth traffic
conditions, the display on the signs will show a posted speed limit (with a red ring)
speed limits can be displayed (without a red ring) to smoothen out the flow, reduce
the risk of flow breakdown and minimise the risk of accidents.
SHIFT INFORMATION
Shift sessions are held regularly for personnel ranked Bus Captains and above.
The dissemination of the shift session information will be through our Discord
channel #shift-info. You may use this link to access the Shift Sheet.
Depending on the Operations Officer hosting the shift, he may or may not enable
shift booking. If a shift session has shift booking enabled, Bus Captains may use the
#shift-booking channel to submit a shift booking slot.
Please use this format to book a shift slot.
