RapidKL's female bus drivers meet daily challenges head-on

Female bus drivers only makes up 2.6% of the driving force in RapidKL.

THE SIGHT of a woman bus driver is still relatively new in Malaysia, as even in a big city like Kuala Lumpur, intercity bus operator RapidKL, which has almost 3,000 drivers in its fleet, has only 60 female bus drivers.

One of the 60, bus captain Noor Sufiana Mustafa Maarof, 24, said she has had many memorable experiences since joining RapidKL a year ago.
