Again, disdain for ultra-Orthodox passengers: Hundreds of people who wanted to travel back to their homes in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak from the Rashbi Zion in Meron this morning discovered that they were not spared last night's chaos: They had to wait since morning hours at the Meron junction for buses from the 'Nativ Express' company, but they were too late to come.
The buses that did arrive were full - and continued on their way.
The crowds, including women with babies, blocked the road for a company bus that was passing by on its way to Afula, in an attempt to get the company to send buses. Police officers restored order and detained a young man for questioning. "Thanks to the fact that they stopped the bus, the company sent additional buses, and I finally managed to get on a bus in the afternoon," said one of the passengers.
