Gladys Berejiklian, the newly elected Premier of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), took a bus to work on her first day in this capacity.

Berejiklian was just another passenger as she rode the 205 bus into work on Monday, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

She got on the bus at about 7.10am amid a crush of TV cameras and commuters.

No security guards or press secretaries accompanied the 46-year-old Australian Armenian politician.

Passengers congratulated the incoming Premier and wished her well. Many seemed familiar with her.

Berejiklian’s habit of catching the bus into work while she was transport minister was well known.

As reported earlier, Gladys Berejiklian has been elected NSW Premier.

Australian media report that she has become the 45th premier of Australia’s largest state, and that she is incoming for Mike Baird.

In addition, Berejiklian has become the first woman Premier from the Liberal Party of Australia (NSW Division).

Gladys Berejiklian is from an Armenian immigrant family. She used to be the NSW Minister for Industrial Relations, and prior to her election as NSW Premier, she held the office of Treasurer of New South Wales.
