FEMALE BUS DRIVERS * India - DTC hires women conductors

New Delhi,India -The Hindustan Times, by Neelam Pandey -October 20, 2010: -- Next time when you travel in a DTC bus, do not be surprised if a young woman in crisp uniform asks you to buy a bus ticket. The Delhi Transport Corporation roped in 130 women as bus conductors, who joined work recently. These women were hired on a contract, which would be renewed every 89 days... Senior DTC officers claimed that compared to male conductors’ women conductors were more sincere and performed better, too... Most of the women conductors are between 25 and 35 years old on their first job... To encourage more women to apply for such jobs, the DTC put them on an eight-hour morning shift, which starts at 7.30am...
