"A month and a half after the High Court of Justice spoke out against "kosher" bus lines serving the ultra-Orthodox community, Knesset members were also called to act against the phenomenon.

In a letter sent to MKs on Sunday, Rachel Keren, chairwoman of the religious women's forum Kolech, called the phenomenon "an apartheid" and argued that it was "an extreme act of discrimination, oppression and humiliation, claiming to be glatt kosher."

In her letter, Keren described the forcible segregation between men and women, which sometimes leads to violence. She demanded that the politicians use "all the means at your disposal to stop the process when it is still in its beginning."

1. if they dont want to ride with women

they have 3 choices
1) walk
2)drive/take car service
3) hire private buses to serve them. if they are private they can do what ever the hell they want.

2. Agree

If their religious organization/ synagogue feels THAT strongly about it, they could raise money for their own private bus, not inflict their rules on everyone else.
