LONDON (Alliance News) - Transport operator Go-Ahead Group PLC on Monday said it has secured the Loyang bus contract from the Singapore Land Transit Authority, allowing the group to enter the Singapore bus market in September 2016.

We will combine our skills, experience and people-focused approach with best practice in Singapore to provide a service that customers value and our team is proud to deliver," said Go-Ahead Chief Executive David Brown.
