"In order to compete with private firms, Israel`s publicly-funded bus companies introduced separate seating on some routes through Orthodox areas" some of you guys seem to have missed this quote from the article. Egged wants to compete.Private buses not subsidized by the Government are already serving the Haredi communities. So, in essence, it is Egged verses its passengers where profit is its only concern.Mr/Ms Public should be concerned with our susidizing Egged who in reality does not consider our desires as their primary responsibility. Let us consider all the other faults with Egged`s service based upon its rampant lack of concern for its passengers and taxpayers. |
