SBS introduces first batch of women ticket inspectors
Thursday, 16th October 1975
SBS (Singapore Bus Services) took another step to enhance its image. Five women ticket inspectors also known as conductresses were promoted to ticket inspectors based on their work performances. They started their ticket checking rounds on various SBS services. One of them was a Nanyang University (NTU) graduate in Chinese Studies. In the years that ensued, female bus captains (drivers) also became a routine part of the SBS frontline work force.
