Staff interview Female staff SPECIAL Roundtable Discussion

K.O. (Bus crew): I became a bus crew at the time of the bubble burst. When I quit my job as a programmer and worked on land transport, I longed to see a bus that women drive up close. When you actually get on the bus, the bus whose driver's seat is in front of the front wheel can only turn out so far when you think, "Is it possible to get so far?" That kind of feeling was fresh and I felt like I wanted to ride more.

K.Y. (Bus staff): K.O., of the same generation as Mr. K.O., I first joined the bus guide. In the interview, you sang a song assuming a guide. Even though I've been sick for a long time, I don't get drunk at work. Since 1998, the sales office has been doing everything from dealing with customers' lost items to managing crew attendance, and now it's every day to happier.

T.K. (Subway driver): I longed for a female conductor I saw while traveling and said, "This is it!" I quit my previous job accounting and joined the office. Unfortunately, the conductor's life was over due to the conversion of one-man in 2008, but he turned his mind, and now he is a mom driver.

C.K. (Station staff): There are many different types of careers. I was a contract employee of a private railway company, but I was only able to work ticket gates, and my full-time employee from being promoted to the conductor and driver. I thought, "a broader job" was my motivation. Now I'm running around from home monitoring to transit guidance (laughs).

K.Y. (Bus staff):　It was the Great East Japan Earthquake of 3.11. I danced so much that I thought the buses lined up in the sales office would hit each other. While responding to the rushing customer calls, we prepared soups with "something warm things" for the crew who returned. The night was long.

K.O. (Bus crew): On that day, the crew was issued a return order to ensure safety. On the way back to the garage, I remember everyone frustrated, "I really want to ride."

T.K. (Subway driver): It was frustrated because the subway was suspended to confirm safety.

C.K. (Station staff): From that experience, disaster prevention measures have been enhanced. The other day, I took on the challenge of evacuation guidance in the event of an earthquake disaster, but I had to do it more quickly. And although trains are usually considered safe vehicles, there are personal injury, so I think we value our presence in order to protect our customers' safety.

K.O. (Bus crew): That's exactly right. I think about how to protect your life as much as you lose your nerves. That's why I take a bus from another car and learn driving skills.
