Photo by Uri Lenz/FLASH90Jerusalem - Israel Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz ordered on Sunday an investigation into an incident last week during which a young woman traveling on an Egged refused to submit to haredi passengers’ demands that she move to the back of the bus.
The investigation will check whether the bus driver and Egged company violated the Transportation Ministry’s policy on gender segregation.

haha! hear the story from a passenger on the bus
after being kindly asked to move, instead of saying no, she jumped up, took out a camera ready to take pictures of men screaming at her, but none did, so she started shouting that she will sing & undress to make the journey interesting, so the driver called the police to shut her up!!!

It isn't tzniyus. Where in halacha does it say that women must be in the back of the bus? That they must give up their seats?
What about pregnant women--- should they have to stand so that more men can have seats???
This is segregation!!! It is a public bus and should be treated as such!

You don't seem too informed, do you. Do you realize that Egged will NOT give up its monopoly to let the frum citizens run their own private bus company?

Everythin has been taken out of context, most time the women anyway take the 2nd door because they have carriages! And btw the back always has more room! For some odd reason there 'mens' department is always full!
