In response to violence directed against its drivers, the Dan Bus Company has decided to stop servicing the Kiryat Herzog community, later stating it would curtail its sanctions by only excluding one street in the neighborhood from receiving bus service.

In its official media statement, the company states that it will cease service in any and all areas where its drivers are violently attacked. In this case, there is no service on Yigal Alon Street in the Kiryat Herzog neighborhood of Bnei Brak. The company its “We are not the police or the court, but we will protect our drivers”.

The company explains “Our drivers head out early in the morning to serve the public, and not to place their lives in danger”.
