(Updated Wednesday 10:15 AM) Egged Company bus drivers, throughout Israel, will be operating their vehicles with their headlights on today, as a national sign of mourning following the murder of fellow driver Rachamim (Rami) Tzidkiyahu in yesterday\'s bombing attack. In addition, bus drivers in the nation’s capital will fly black ribbons from their vehicles as a sign of mourning.
Egged has turned to the Prime Minister’s office requesting that the government provide funding for security guards to be stationed on every bus. Egged suggests that those Israelis currently unemployed, preferably those with military combat training, be hired to protect the lives of the nation’s bus travelers.
