Member for Heathcote Maryanne Stuart said:
"Our community really bore the brunt of the bus driver shortage, but we've also been able to see first-hand how solutions to the bus driver shortage can be implemented and how they're starting to pay off.
"It will take a while to encourage passengers back onto our buses, but now that we are seeing a more reliable and regular service, we'll be able to rebuild trust and see more people tap back on.
"The more we share stories about women within the bus industry, the more we will be able to boost our numbers.
"Inclusion of women on the frontline brings greater diversity of skills and experiences to the bus industry.
"It is great to see more female drivers have helped boost U-Go Mobility's driver numbers and get them back to a full timetable, to deliver a better service for passengers."
