Shrek -“there are plenty of “chareidi” neighborhoods in Brooklyn where men and women ride buses. No one makes a fuss about the fact that men and women aren’t separated from each other.”
Not true; ever hear of the BP to Willi bus?
“You know why? Because if a man or woman got up and started insisting on moving people around to suit their religious sensitivities, the driver would toss them off the bus.”
Again not true; on the BP -Willi Bus – no driver ever, until recently, interfered.
“As it should be. You have personal seating preferences, fine. On your own bus or in your own car or in your house you can segregate to your heart’s content. But a public bus does not need to adjust because you decided to be more religious that G-d himself.”
Stop thinking we have no rights only if it’s a private vehicle. If it doesn’t inconvience the other passengers terribly, like in these cases -why shouldn’t they move to the back of the bus to accomodate s/o else’s religion?
