		Officials with the Egged bus cooperative report a significant drop in the number of local bus passengers during nearly 21 months of violence.
		But there are too many streetside bus stops to be guarded, and the cost of putting guards on all of Egged's 4,000 buses would be prohibitive, officials say.

	Hebrew at Dartmouth/Words Tell Their Tales
		In the 1930s, when the first ever Jewish bus company was set up in Israel, so the story goes, they went to the poet Chaim Nachman Bialik to suggest a name for the company.
		And the word 'egged' -- from the same root as 'aguda' -- is found in the Talmud, meaning the BAND that Jews tie around the lulav, myrtle and willow branches used in the Festival of Sukkot.
		'Egged' would henceforth evoke the cooperation of the BAND of plucky Jewish bus-drivers proudly driving their buses at breakneck speed through the streets of Tel Aviv.

	The Tragedy of Bus 32A
		Founded as a cooperative, the Egged bus company is famous for its gruff, independent, cheeky but soft-hearted drivers and its indomitable and colorful commuters.
		A ride on an Egged bus remained a striking tableau of a society still evolving, a diverse and dynamic and occasionally dyspeptic society, a society of a people united yet distinguished by their many different languages, customs, habits, and looks.
		In truth, as the prosperity grew, Egged became the lifeline of those who were left behind, and those who were not yet ready to leap ahead: the immigrant and the student, the very old and the very young.

		Rabbi Yaakov Hesse, chairman of Egged's advisory council on the chareidi sector, cited the efforts of the council which led to the launching of the new line and to the arranging of appropriate public transportation for the chareidi sector.
		Its unique features are that it does not stop at bus stops in the non-religious areas, the drivers do not turn on their radios, and men and women use separate doors.
