High Court throws out request for buses on Shabbat

The High Court of Justice throws out a petition that would require some public transportation to operate on the Sabbath, in agreement with the state and the petitioners.

The move will allow the petitioners to file an official request for public transportation to operate on Saturday at the Ministry of Transportation.

If the ministry denies the request, the petitioners may again turn to the High Court.

The petitioners include a number of liberal groups and MK Tamar Zandberg of the left-wing Meretz party.
