摘要：	How can the different experiences, points of view and knowledge that women bring to the table benefit the sector? SONYA BYERS: There's a quote from Caroline Criado Perez's book Invisible Women that has stuck with me: "They didn't deliberately set out to exclude women. They just didn't think about them. They didn't think to consider that women's needs might be different." Women make up 51 per cent of the UK population, the female employment rate is almost 72 per cent and women make up the majority of public transport users. Yet, women are significantly under-represented in the transport sector, accounting for around 20 per cent of the workforce. Transport is about connecting people and places - by not having an equal representation in our workforce, we are missing ou1 on the valuable experiences, views and knowledge of these women that would help us to shape our systems and places so that they better serve the different people that use them.
