How to go about in getting the license?
I got class 3 license for 8 years already...
do i have to join one of the bus companies as a trainee bus driver to get the license?
need to get the vocational licence in order to be allowed to drive private coach, right? so i have to join one of the bus companies like SBS as a trainee bus driver to get the vocational license?
Class 3 +bus vocational licence(attainable in all driving centres) = can drive commuter van private buses.
Class 4 licence + bus vocational licence(attainable in all driving centres) = can drive larger private buses.
Class 4A = only can drive SBS and SMRTB buses only, and it's vaild as long u have employment in either of these 2 companies as bus driver.
Class 4A is only issued to you by LTA/TP if you are bus captain of SBST/SMRT and you must also have vocational licence. Class 4A has to be surrendered when you quit driving for SBS or SMRT
class 4 only available at PCDC/SSDC.. the other 2 driving centres dont offer it

Just to check, I only have class3 right now. If I were to join SBST as a BC, I need to go and apply my own Vocational Licence or SBST will provide?
How do I get a Vocational Licence?

If you join SBST or SMRT, they will train you for a class 4A license. But after training, you can only cross over between these 2 companies. 4A license is only valid for driving SBST or SMRT buses.
SBST and SMRT will also issue you a separate vocational license. Once you resign, you have to return the vocatinal license back to the respective operators. The classification VL for private and public bus operator is also different.

I see.. Thanks for the info:)
Yes! I'm interested to become a Bus Captain after 9more months, now still doing my national service.
I need to gather some information first as I afraid being a BC can't earn a living enough.. What's your thought?
