Suggestions on how to curb this marginalisation in these sectors were made. Intensive public awareness against female marginalisation in the schools, transportation and public sectors and enacting of laws to curb marginalisation/prosecute defaulters were recommended. In conclusion: Non-marginalisation of the females in the transportation environment will boost the nation’s economy and sustainable development.
