Egged Bus Company's Apartheid Policy

The Israeli Federation for Animal Rights last week organized protests against the Apartheid policy of Israel's national bus company Egged.

In an Arab village close to the Lebanon border, goats and a dog occupied the local bus station where they demanded entrance to the Egged buses.

Egged now mulls the establishment of so called "inter-creative bus lines" based on an ancient concept taken from the book of Genesis/Bereisheet.

In the new concept, dubbed "Noah", the front part of the buses will be for Haredi men only, the middle part will be for all other Israeli girls (women) and the back of the bus -- for all other creatures.

New Ad Campaign on Egged Buses

A new ad campaign is running on Egged buses in Jerusalem -- the Temple is photshopped onto the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, replacing the familiar Golden Dome Mosque.

The ad headline reads, "And May the Temple be Rebuilt, Speedily in Our Days." (source)

Sound good to me!

Chag Sameach -- a Happy, Healthy and Kosher Passover to all our readers, friends and family.

Update: And for those of you who appreciate Talmud, the following is an alternative "Echad Mi Yodea"...

Egged Jerusalem Revamp

Borrowing the map from the London Underground, the Egged bus company has revamped their Jerusalem bus routes, and even created bus maps, modestly reminiscent of the London Underground.

Their whole explanation in English, is here.

Familiar routes like the Ramot 35 and 36 lines have been discontinued, highspeed express routes via the Begin expressway have been introduced, and other lines have been "improved."

The Chomat Shmuel neighborhood (Har Choma) gains 2 new routes, as does Gilo and Ramot, Ramat Shlomo, Givat Shaul and Har Nof.

And if this is all new and exciting -- just wait till the light railway starts...(if it ever finishes construction)
