SBS Transit has appointed Lim Tien Hock to its newly created role of CEO of its Bus Business arm, as part of a series of leadership changes that kicked off on April 1.
The 50-year-old – who was formerly the CEO of ComfortDelGro Driving Centre and ComfortDelGro Medcare – was offered this role based on his “personal attributes, qualifications and experience in the transportation business,” the company announced in a regulatory filing.
Lim is also said to be experienced in management, people and talent development as well as in strengthening tripartite labour-management-union relationships.
In another move, Jeffrey Sim has been appointed CEO of the Rail Business arm.
The 45-year-old has been SBS Transit since 2015 and has played a key role in achieving high levels of reliability in the provision of train services under the Downtown Line (DTL), North East Line (NEL) and Sengkang Punggol LRT (SPLRT).
Both Lim and Sim will report directly to Cheng Siak Kian, SBS Transit’s recently appointed group CEO.
