Kikar haShabbat (june.05.23):
Shouting, turning off the air conditioner and spitting
“You are like beasts”: the passengers on the bus from Jerusalem to Ashdod tell of the horror they went through; “We thought it was an attack”
Egged often recruits fill-in Arab drivers freelancers, and this happens a lot
and in a related type story a School bus driver in Ohio went on a rant
There are tons of ads trying to recruit chareidi bus drivers. In general there aren’t enough drivers. It’s not an easy job. The best way to get a driver to turn up the air on a long trip is to smile when you get on, say hi or boker tov, and even better – give them a bottle or water or chocolate bar. Little things go a long way, especially for people working low wage jobs.
It will never be a match to the Egged monopoly. You need a large backing to maintain this.
