SBS buses are permitted to drive at the speed of 60kph on the expressway. The driver is being safety conscious when he's driving at 50kph on the road. I don't think he's road hogging.

The bus is governed by a time schedule from terminal A to terminal B. Thus, the driver have to regulate his driving speed and reach the other terminal on scheduled time.(Cannot too early or late) Is a very difficult job to work, hope you understand. That why, no Singaporeans like to work as a bus captain. The companies (SBS & TIB) brought in alots of foreign drivers. For your info, only taxi drivers strictly for Singaporeans, even lorry drivers are also foreigners.

I tot normal SBS buses could not exceed 50km/h ?
As in the driver cannot accelerate more than speed even if he wanted to...
but that was last time.. i don't know now... :)
hmm.anyway 50km/h is safe enough since there are passengers on board...

I suppose the drivers are told not to exceed 50km/h, then again i'm not sure but definately there is a speed limit the drivers have to watch for.

I thought that bus speed limit is set at 60Kph and he is to ensure the safety of the passenger on the bus.
