Women working in Public Transport<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Women use public transport more than men for household and family-related reasons. However, public transportation is seen as more male-dominated and is structured according to their needs. <\/span>It is seen that there is less number of women workers in public transport. Also, employment opportunities are unequal between men and women. There is the existence of gender-based occupational segregation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Issues of women workers\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

  • The transport sector and driving field are more male-dominated, and women workers are often not accepted.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • There is a lack of respect for women drivers<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Male passengers while drunk cause heated arguments<\/span><\/li>\n
