The Tasmanian Government has thrown its support behind Metro’s latest recruitment campaign, which is aiming to attract more women to its ranks.
Women currently make up around 9% of Metro’s bus driver workforce.
Minister for Transport, Kerry Vincent, said driver recruitment was a high priority.
“Tasmanians have told us with their feet that they love free public transport,” Minister Vincent said.
“Driving this recruitment campaign to increase female driver participation is a great initiative from Metro.
“Metro has listened to the women already behind the wheel, using their experiences to shape the campaign and support new recruits.
“We’re a big supporter of increasing female participation in the workforce as a whole, and I commend Metro for their efforts,” Minister Vincent said.
“This will ensure more reliable service delivery as Tasmanians take full advantage of free public transport,” he said.
