F Badgie : I think it might be lack of skills and low self-confidence among some women of becoming a bus driver like their male counter-parts , may be some might want to be , but lack confidence in themselves and without confidence one cannot achieve his / her goals .
50 / 50 : what do you think could be done to encourage more women to get into the industry ?
F Badgie : I think the bus industry should provide support needed so as to ensure that female employees have access to the necessary support structures such as career development training , create an opportunity and flexible working patterns for them .
50 / 50 : What do you think about low percentage of women at bus industry ?
Moses : I think the coach and bus industries are not promoted by schools and career professionals . As a result many women , and sometimes even men , are not aware of the opportunities the industry can offer , and I think some people see it as a very challenging job .
50 / 50 : Do you think female drivers are really needed in the driving industry and what do you think can be done to get more women into the industry ?
Moses : Of course yes women are needed because I think there should be a gender balance at work places , and they should be encouraged to come forward and join .
