Berta Persson (née Pettersson) (11 August 1893 – 9 December 1961) was the first female bus driver in Sweden.

She was the eldest of five children born to Anna Katarina Amanda (née Fohlin) and Petter Albert Pettersson, also known as Myrman.

[clarification needed][3][4] In 1925, when the Kappelshamn to Visby bus line came up for sale, Persson and her husband bought it.

The purchase included lorry and taxi services, and the Perssons decided to start a haulage business.

With expert witnesses on board, coupled with Persson's skill at driving a bus, the inspector had to approve her licence.

[1][3] In 1948, the Perssons moved to Bunge, where Berta was involved in the Swedish Women's Association for the Defence of the Fatherland (known as the Lottakårer).
