Rehovot Public Transportation: Is Egged An Anti-Public Company?

"It is infuriating to watch the 319 pass by in the evening and not bother to stop, a stop which would take all of 1 minute. In response to msg. No.2, Egged did not respond to the needs of a large group of consumers over that of a small group, rather it responded to the pressure tactics of a small group of chareidi activists, who care not a whit about the antagonism they are sowing in the general community. In an era where public transportation access to Tel Aviv U and Ben Gurion has been significantly upgraded by new rail connections, Bar-Ilan is receiving less and less service from Egged, its only public transport connection (outside the immediate Tel Aviv region)."
