NORMAN KAY, South Yorkshire PTE's director-general, has retired after 11 years' service.
Norman Kay was responsible for SYPTE when it increased the number of passengers carried each year, while many parts of the country experienced a decline of between 20 and 30 per cent. During his directorship he helped streamline the bus network to take account of the changing needs.
There have also been several significant developments and experiments in South Yorkshire, including the experimental introduction of articulated buses in Sheffield, and the "kneeling" buses.
Mr Kay joined SYPTE in 1973 as director of operations and planning. In 1976 he became director-general. Most of his working life has been spent in public transport since starting as a junior clerk with Ramsbottom Transport in 1940.
