I came across an advertisement on JL for Hiring of Male Bus Drivers by the State Government. See Below:

- Heavy Vehicle Driver : 600 posts (Gurgaon-250, Faridabad-350), Remuneration : Rs. 10000/- consolidated, Age : 18-40 Year as on 02/12/2011
- Conductor : 600 posts (Gurgaon-250, Faridabad-350), Remuneration : Rs. 8000/- consolidated, Age : 18-40 Year as on 02/12/2011
I think the State Policy must change and women should also be hired as Bus Driver's and Conductor's. There is no scientific/medical reason for their exclusion from driving jobs.
It will be a BIG confidence booster for rural women and also good for their public image in the state and the public image of the state.
