Join the journey as Dublin Bus encourages more women to take the driver's seat!

Dublin Bus is shaking things up in the driver's seat by actively recruiting more women to steer their buses. In a bold move to diversify their workforce, the company invited Newstalk reporter Stephanie Rohan to experience firsthand what it's like behind the wheel of a Dublin Bus. With nerves and excitement in the air, Stephanie embarked on the journey of learning to drive the iconic city buses.

Steering through the bustling streets of Dublin, Stephanie's adventure on the driver's seat was a mix of challenges and triumphs. The opportunity for women to join the traditionally male-dominated profession is a significant step towards equality and inclusivity in the transportation industry. As Stephanie navigated through the training, she discovered a newfound confidence and skill that surprised even herself.

As Dublin Bus breaks gender barriers with its recruitment drive, it opens up doors for more women to explore careers in driving. The initiative not only benefits the company with diverse perspectives but also empowers women to take on roles that were previously considered unconventional. Stephanie's journey sheds light on the exciting possibilities that await those willing to take the wheel and drive towards a more inclusive future.

Did you know that Dublin Bus has over 100 routes covering the city and suburbs? With a fleet of buses connecting locals and tourists alike, the iconic red buses of Dublin have become synonymous with the city's vibrant transportation culture. Stephanie's experience highlights the importance of diversity and representation in all sectors, including the driver's seat of Dublin Bus.
