Private bus company in Brooklyn orders women to back of bus. It’s God’s way!

Not much to add to this:

The B110 is a bus run by a private bus company that has a contract with the city of New York. It runs from Williamsburg to South Brooklyn and caters mostly to Orthodox Jews. And to hipsters, probably, with their love of retro trends, in Brooklyn! The New York World uncovered this hot, edgy bus trend that will have all the hipsters in Williamsburg rushing to buy bus tickets, for a ride to Cool-ville (Borough Park)! But as the bus began to fill up, the men told [a female rider] that she had to get up. Move to the back, they insisted. 

They were Orthodox Jews with full beards, sidecurls and long black coats, who told her that she was riding a “private bus” and a “Jewish bus.” When she asked why she had to move, a man scolded her. 

“If God makes a rule, you don’t ask ‘Why make the rule?’”
