I just want to make it clear that you're talking about a very very specific thing, which has nothing to do with the daily existence of most non-Jewish-religious Israelis. I mention this cause you make it sound like this is something more than it is.
The vast majority of the Israeli population drives their car on Saturday.
- WJW 4y agoFair. I did mention that it was only in the Haredi neighborhoods, but you're right that that is not a majority activity. Public transport does shut down though, even for citizens who wouldn't otherwise care and even in areas of the country without an (ultra-)orthodox majority.
- edanm 4y agoOh yes, absolutely, that's a pretty awful state of affairs that causes a lot of issues (e.g. people who otherwise could've done without a car, are basically forced to have one if they want to get anywhere on the weekend.)
