Trans-Island Bus Services (
TIBS) was formerly a public transport operator in
Singapore. It was incorporated on 31 May 1982 by a firm of
Singapore Shuttle Bus as a second full-day run bus service, following public transportation market liberalisation reform approved by
parliament. The legislature thereafter proposed the formation of another public bus service provider to establish a
duopoly, which would compete with
Singapore Bus Services (now SBS Transit) in 1981. TIBS Holdings' core businesses were subsumed by
SMRT Corporation on 10 May 2004 following merger.
