    Tracey Scholes is also very popular on social media. The approach of the bus company “Go North West” is sharply criticized on Facebook.

In 1987 Tracy Scholes was the first female bus driver on the bus routes in Manchester, in the north-west of Great Britain. 34 years later, the British woman has lost her job – because she is too small to drive the latest bus model, as the British newspaper “Guardian” reports.

Tracy Scholes is only 1.52 meters tall. In order to be able to see the exterior mirrors, she would have to lean backwards – but then her feet would no longer be able to touch the pedals. The 57-year-old complained about this fact to her employer, the bus company Go North West. She was then released first, followed by dismissal.
