AB It is well - known that women are generally under-represented in some technical fields, asit is the specific case of the transport sector. This lack of balance gender-wise is even morevisible in the taxi industry, leading to a gender gap that should be filled in the next years.Flexibility, loyal customer network and friendly environment are some of the opportunitieshighlighted in the study. Besides, entry barriers are also outlined, like the initialinvestment, misunderstandings between colleagues at the beginning and shortage ofcommunication skills.All the findings derive from real women who have been working in the industry for morethan ten years, so that the evolution of the taxi sector from a gender point of view has beenalso considered and explained through real lived experiences.In the present study, an exhaustive analysis of the situation of the Spanish taxi sector ispresented and analyzed. Based on real interviews to female taxi drivers, the mainopportunities, and entry barriers and obstacles of working in the taxi sector are collectedand used to assess how the transport sector fits the key needs of the interviewees and favorthe work-life balance.All data regarding the city and participants to the case study are kept anonymous.This analysis is done in the framework of the European project TInnGO which mainobjective is to create a framework and mechanisms for a sustainable game change inEuropean transport through a transformative strategy of gender and diversity sensitivesmart mobility.
