"Men and women voluntarily sit separately aboard 'kosher' bus lines." If this were only true- another lie.

#21 Helena is wrong. The haredim were willing to finance their own, private mehadrin buses but the Israeli administration and Egged woudn't let them, just in order to protect Egged's monopoly.

There are more and more other companies , no more a Egged monopoly . You have : Metropoline , Veolia , Superbus , Nateev express . All intercity lines where Egged has been replaced by those i named . The state issues a Tender for a line , and the best offer get it . It was also true for Petach Tikva , where the Dan buses were replaced by Kavim .
