Daniela Chavarro Sepúlveda is 19 years old and her work generates curiosity in more than one; “They always see men, a woman driving a bus is rare for many.”
News Antioch.
Daniela Chavarro Sepúlveda became the youngest driver in Medellín, since at 19 she drives a bus route in her hometown.
She says that her family was very closed to the idea, especially her father who did not want his daughter to work in an activity that is classified as heavy work.
Well, the driving hours are long and the bus drivers are mostly men, which worried his family.
However, Daniela has managed to earn a place in a labor field that is often exclusively for men.
She was attracted to big cars from a very young age and wondered how they managed to move “those big buses,” she says.
However, that curiosity ended and overcame reality, he says he got his license and looked for the job he had always wanted.
The influence of the passion for vehicles was inherited from her father, who is a mechanic, so she was always surrounded by parts, small and large cars.
The latter being her passion that today keeps her rolling in the streets of one of the most important cities in Colombia.
Daniela affirms that her projection was not to end up being a driver of a vehicle of the public transport system, but today she is happy driving a bus.
“My first day of work was fatal, because it was my first day of work and I crashed.”
She narrates that that same day she wanted to resign, but it was her co-workers who encouraged her to continue behind the wheel.
In general, there is the idea that if women drive the bus, it is because they are not feminine or do not take care of themselves and “I am the opposite,” Daniela told El Colombiano.
Daniela wants to get to college and continue preparing. She says that this is her biggest dream and to achieve it she takes the opportunity to work as a bus driver.
Driving the bus is for Daniela to be fully with herself and with others, that is why she strives to provide a good service so that her passengers feel comfortable.
