Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Women now operate all buses on the Quetzalcóatl route of the Metrobús system in Mexico City.
The Metrobús announced this change for the route, which runs from the Amajac station to terminals 1 and 2 of Mexico City International Airport. This initiative aims to promote gender equity in traditionally male-dominated jobs and is a collaborative effort with the concession companies operating the buses.
The Metrobús reported an increase in female staff overall, rising from 33 women in February to 80 in October. These 80 women, including the 48 driving the Quetzalcóatl route, represent a rise from 1.6 to 3.7 percent of the total Metrobús workforce. The Quetzalcóatl route expanded on January 30th and currently uses 19 electric buses that measure 8.5 meters in length.
