Affected staff will be relocated progressively from October to the company's other locations depending on the nature of their work, The Straits Times understands.

Apart from the Braddell head office, ComfortDelGro's other properties here include bus depots in Bedok and Bukit Batok, vehicle workshops in Ubi, Loyang, Senoko and Pandan Road, inspection centres in Yishun and Changi, as well as premises in Sin Ming.

SBS Transit also has administrative offices in some of the bus and train depots built and owned by the Land Transport Authority. They include Sengkang Rail Depot and the recently constructed Sengkang West Bus Depot.

According to ComfortDelGro's 2024 annual report, the current lease on its Braddell headquarters is for a period of 36 years and 10 months. This was preceded by an earlier lease that began in 1974, which was taken out by what was then known as Singapore Bus Services, according to annual reports from the 1980s.
