New York City officials say they could shut a bus service running through an Orthodox Jewish area that is accused of asking women to sit at the back.Officials have written to the firm operating the bus asking what they are doing to prevent discrimination.The B110 bus is operated by a private firm under a franchising agreement with the city, but is open to the public.A student journalist published a story this week reporting that a woman on the bus was asked to sit at the back. The New York Times later reported that a woman passenger on the B110 had said men and women also sat apart on similar bus services catering for the city's Hasidic Jewish community.New York City's Department of Transportation director, Anne Koenig, has asked the company that operates the B110 to respond to the claims."Please be advised that a practice of requiring women to ride in the back... would constitute a direct violation of your franchise agreement and may lead to termination of that agreement," she wrote, reports Reuters news agency.The department said the firm that runs the service had no exemptions from city's anti-discrimination standards.

Read about that the other day in the locals here.

The orthodox Jews in that neighborhood are thick as thieves. Really devout and hateful of outsiders unless you are spending money. They feel that their laws override the laws of the land. It is of course blatant discrimination..

Something Orthodox Jews and Arabs have in common. They treat their women like dogs.

I just know we used to make black men sit in the back of the bus too, 100 years after they were supposed to be free.

New York and Mayor Bloomberg is very public relations concious, I have confidence in him to fix this. Then again he is also a Jew... To take the side of the heathen against a Jew is a no go...

But lawsuits talk, and law of the land (not the torah) will prevail... We hope...

The Jews can be what they are, but they should respect the rights men and women have died for if they are to prosper as a part of our society.

The point here is sex segregation and not lesser treatment.
I'm very far from being fan of orthodox ways and in my opinion they have taken judaism out of context.
Good thing is that they don't blow up buses or try to convert others-simply live in their own world.

Nobody has to like them but it seems like some people look forward for this nonsense just to feel better about self.
Oh...how better i'm.

I didn't come across as insulting I hope. I just lack some tact when expressing myself. People can worship this guy for all I care.

If the women are not getting lesser treatment then why are they at the back?
But look on the bright side, they havn't started making women use the emergency exit instead of having them dirtying the bus doorway yet

So you could ask stupid questions?
Would it make you feel better if they switch around and put curtain in middle of bus?
it would be opposite to the KKK days-so no hard feelings.
