Knesset Committee for the Status of Women chairwoman Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) announced on Wednesday that she will ride “mehadrin” bus line 418 from Bet Shemesh to the capital, on a bus in which women are asked to sit in the back. “Mehadrin” lines are those used mostly by haredi [ultra-orthodox] passengers, in which women are asked to sit at the back of the bus, and sometimes even enter the bus only from its back door. It is illegal for bus companies to enforce this rule, but passengers may voluntarily sit according to gender.
