Restrictions on the number of passengers will be lifted on buses running during peak hours starting Wednesday, according to new directives announced by Transportation Minister Miri Regev and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein. The decision was made for the benefit of education system students, according to Regev.
The buses affected by the new directive are those that run between 7am and 8:30am and those that run between 1pm and 3pm in order to allow for students to arrive and return from school.
"We are enabling the return of education to routine and bringing significant relief to the parents and students," said Regev.
