After the first five drivers sued SBST, the transport firm referred the terms of several of its collective agreements to the Industrial Arbitration Court for interpretation.

Three bus drivers have filed fresh lawsuits against bus and train operator SBS Transit (SBST), citing claims similar to those filed by five other drivers in September.
The eight SBST drivers, all represented by lawyer M. Ravi of Carson Law Chambers, claim that they were underpaid for overtime work and that they had to work for more than a week without a rest day.
