I would have liked to hear what you have to say about that particular bit of paranoid nonsense. <BR/>I think that there are plenty of Chareidim that prefer to ride in mixed buses, so that family members can travel together.SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-71073718181073709112008-12-03T19:20:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:20:00.000-05:00There are many reasons why Eged might choose to no...There are many reasons why Eged might choose to not offer a separate seating bus even if there is sufficient demand.

Now, I'm more RW than left, but I just couldn't resist. My wife and I sat together in the empty row between men and women. We were the mechitza. Then she fell asleep on my shoulder, but that part wasn't on purpose. Got a few looks though... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-53266344018466983032008-12-03T16:19:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:19:00.000-05:00When I'm traveling with my husband and baby, it's ...When I'm traveling with my husband and baby, it's a lot easier to have her between the two of us than to have to have her with one of us.<BR/><BR/>When I was pregnant and in constant danger of losing my lunch on the bus, I would have pitied anyone other than the guy who was also hoping to get a baby out of the deal if they were sitting next to me...<BR/><BR/>When I was single, I generally made an effort to sit with females on buses, whether the other people on the bus were religious or not. If I ended up next to a man, I tried to make sure to respect personal space very carefully. I don't think that any of my MANY MANY bus rides could have been considered promiscuous.
