MOE said on Monday it would also consider applications to hire more foreign workers from operators serving just one school, after taking in feedback from school bus associations and operators.

Mr Darry Lim, a spokesman for the Singapore School Transport Association, said this was a step in the right direction, as having a few more workers would be helpful for smaller operators that cannot meet the present quota of nine local employees to one S Pass holder. “Imagine three to four years down the road, this problem will get worse as the population ages,” Mr Lim said, noting that small operators that fail to meet quota requirements in future could be forced out of the market.
