Women’s achievements in the bus, coach and community transport industry were celebrated at an awards event in Manchester earlier this month, attended by the Local Transport Minister Simon Lightwood.

The event turned the spotlight on Women in Bus and Coach’s commitment to support female role models in engineering, driving and management and “challenge industry policies that do not meet women’s needs”.

Simon Lightwood, said: “I was delighted to celebrate the incredible achievements of women in the bus and coach industry up and down the country.

“Our plans to deliver better buses will end the postcode lottery that has determined the quality and frequency of bus services for too long”

Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “In Greater Manchester we’re bringing buses back into local control, with cheaper fares, better buses and, crucially, more reliable services all attracting more people onboard.

“Our success is down to the hard work and dedication of Bee Network staff, including the many brilliant women working tirelessly to deliver a great service to the people of Greater Manchester, whether that’s driving buses, working at our bus stations, interchanges or Travelshops, or leading our franchising programme.”
