According to the New York Post, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has sent “a strongly worded letter” to the owner of the B110 bus, which runs from Borough Park to Williamsburg. The letter is a response to a discrimination claim.
A couple of days ago, The New York World, one of Columbia Journalism School’s newspapers, reported that the B110, a privately operated Jewish Orthodox bus, forced women to sit on the back of the bus.
Mayor Bloomberg called the events “an outrage.”
Should the practice continue, the DOT could terminate the license of the B110. The B110 services people of all denominations, but does not allow men and women to sit together.
