      Egged Accused of Violating Shabbat in Haifa


      The Egged bus company has launched a campaign to market a new night-time line which operates every night, including Friday nights, the chairman of the UTJ faction in the Haifa municipality, Rabbi Aryeh Blitental, complained in a letter to the UTJ's Knesset members.

      The new bus line, which operates in the wee hours of the night and is intended for club and pub-goers, is advertised in an "expensive and ostentatious campaign," Blitental said. The line operates every 30 minutes, until 4:00 A.M.
