Minsk, like most European capitals, has become a city tram in 1929. Since then, the routes are often changed, updated rolling stock. Daily Minsk trams carry about 180-190 thousand people in nine city routes, a year - more than 72 million passengers.

According to the observations, the lion's share of those who run the tram - it's the fair sex. Indeed, 293 of the 315 drivers - women.

We meet with Anastasia Pakhomov, which manages the tram five years.

To control the tram driver's license is not required (although interlocutor leads and the car). According to our heroine, in this work there is nothing monotonous or boring. Smiling, she continued:

- Some people think that if you travel on the same routes every day, all around quickly bored. But it is not. Always something going on. For example, motorists are often "surprised" (though I am to them quietly). Well, will call the driver on the track, so I'll skip it. Or you need to go, to translate the arrows. It happens that breaks the tram and we must deal with it itself.



Anastasia often goes to work on the weekends:

- Even my husband sometimes does not stand up, angry. While I understand my profession, since he last worked as a trolley driver. I am very diligent people. What else can seem monotonous, contrary calms me and helps to concentrate. I work with pleasure.

Ten minutes 'flight' on the rails through the waking Minsk - and here we are in the botanical park tram. At the exit of the park already expect their cars a few women conductors.

Drivers say that they love their job and passengers. The latter - even careless, noisy or drunk. "If only everything was in order, and shift ended without incident," - they explain. Apparently, the "ladies trams" who daily carry a small army of Minsk residents, triggered maternal instinct:)
