Thus, a legal basis has been created for women to partake in labor activities in the following areas:
- Driving cargo vehicles with a carrying capacity of over 2.5 tons;
- Driving buses with a carrying capacity of more than 14 passengers.
The department also noted that the new measure will ensure gender equality in the transportation sector and attract women to operate large-capacity buses, including electric buses.
It is pointed out that the technical specifications of modern vehicles allow women to engage in comfortable and health-safe labor activities.
