Meet our female bus drivers, Suja and Susan.

As an equal opportunity employer, STS has always encouraged female staff members to pursue their dream of driving a bus.

We are thrilled to introduce our first batch of female bus drivers who have successfully completed their training and are on the road.

With strong role models like Suja and Susan paving the way forward, STS is proud to be enabling aspirants to take up the driver’s role.

STS’s First Female Driver

In a sector that has been dominated for years by one gender, we introduced the equal opportunity employment policy across levels of work. This policy was implemented in letter and spirit, when we recruited Suja Thankachan, the UAE’s first female heavy bus driver.

Suja who hails from Kerala, India, was a bus driver back at home. Today, she is an officially certified heavy bus driver here in the UAE, all the way across the Arabian sea and is proud to have fulfilled her dream of driving all kinds of vehicles. It is so inspiring to learn that she never gave up on her dreams and got back behind the wheel. Upon learning her story and her dreams, STS encouraged her to make her way up to the driver’s seat. She has now completed training in all aspects of being a safe bus driver.

Saritha Daya, the Human Resources Assistant Manager at STS said, “After Suja’s success story of breaking the perception of impossibility, many of our female staff members have approached us to help them pursue their dream of becoming a heavy bus driver. To support them in this journey, we have arranged corporate discounts with our driving school partners. We have also identified a clear career path for highly motivated candidates, and intend to develop a platoon of female bus drivers. We are encouraging our bus guardians to come forward and make use of this opportunity.”

“I believe that women hold the key to changing in the world, and this is a great opportunity to inspire such a positive change,” she added.

With Suja as a strong role model, paving the way forward for many like her, the HR team at STS intends to make her a brand ambassador of its equal opportunity practices, encouraging others to take up the driver’s role.

STS All Set To Welcome Students Back to the School Bus

As the leading private operator for school transport in the UAE, the eve of a new school term is our busiest time of the year. With schools opening after the break, STS has been preparing to welcome students back to the bus.

STS has always complied with a strict approach to preventive and corrective maintenance of our fleet of over 2,500 school buses. Even when schools remained closed, our buses undergo periodic maintenance, regular deep cleaning and sanitisation.

Our bus drivers and bus guardians were previously educated on safety management, hygienic practices, and the proper method and frequency of hand sanitisation. Briefing sessions on the spread of viral infections was conducted for our service delivery executives, team leaders, foremen and other staff members. Advisory videos in English and Hindi were provided for all of our teams to cultivate a mindset of hygiene control measures and preventive actions in accordance with the standards expected by the government and regulatory bodies.

During the school term, in addition to our standard protocol, our buses will undergo pre-trip and post-trip sanitisation with a minimum of two vehicle inspections in a day. A detailed bus and school sanitisation plan has been initiated in preparation for start of term. STS would like to assure you that your school bus journey will always be Safe, Timely, Smart.

Preparing for the New Term

As we gear up to welcome students back into the school bus for the new academic term, we have introduced transport safety protocols for our staff and students.

We are adhering to guidelines set by schools and regulatory agencies, such as KHDA, RTA, SPEA, ADEK and the DoT.

Training programmes have been conducted for bus drivers and bus guardians on awareness and implementation of the new measures and guidelines.

We are monitoring the wellbeing of staff members through our care to share programme and temperature checks at our staff accommodation.
