Mary Staub: Woman Behind the Wheel


My column in today's Free Press is about Mary Staub, Winnipeg Transit's first female bus driver. A hard working, independent single Mom who, in her forties, decided to enter this man's only world.

Also, there's a little sidebar about the women who drove streetcars during World War II. Three stayed on after the war but were phased out in 1955 when the streetcar service was shut down.
