Since the War, women have been increasingly employed as conductors on 

 trams and motor buses in order to replace men who have enlisted. In the 

 majority of cases the women are taken on at the same wage rates per hour as 

 the men, though they work in shorter shifts— generally 6 hours instead of 

 8. They are found to be more satisfactory on ' single deckers ' where the work 

 is less arduous. The work seems to be popular with the women and ako witli 

 the public. Women are not employed as drivers. In some towns they are 

 employed in washing the cars.
