My colleague who interviewed Mrs Benny King for our Meet column last week tells me that this vivacious lady came up with a bit of logical comment so devastating that I can't think why it hasn't dawned on someone before. She said she was glad that Greater Manchester Transport had chosen a woman (herself in fact) as communications manager, because more than twothirds of the passengers were women and children.
Obvious when you think about it — yet how much real account is taken of this in the design and operation of buses? Do you detect even so much as a nod towards the ladies, or the children, in bus interiors?
Next step, perhaps, women managers for bus undertakings?
