*Not to be confused with the tactic of
|
|
[egging](Egging_\(Tactic\) "wikilink")*
|
|
|
|
**Egged Israel Transport Cooperative Society Ltd** is a [worker
|
|
cooperative](Worker_Cooperative "wikilink") that operates buses in
|
|
[Israel](Israel "wikilink"), [Bulgaria](Bulgaria "wikilink") and
|
|
[Poland](Poland "wikilink"). Egged provides about 35% of Israel's public
|
|
[transport](Transportation "wikilink") services, employs about 6,500
|
|
workers and operates a fleet of 2,950 buses. Egged buses transport about
|
|
900,000 passengers per day. It was created from the merger of four
|
|
smaller worker cooperatives that provided bus services in 1933.
|
|
|
|
## Negatives
|
|
|
|
Egged has often been fully supportive of [Zionist](Zionism "wikilink")
|
|
and [patriarchal](Patriarchy "wikilink") ideas, enforcing gender
|
|
segregation on their buses for 20 years and delivering troops and
|
|
supplies to battlefronts during various conflicts involving Israel.
|
|
Although Egged does demonstrate the possibility for transport to be
|
|
organised along libertarian socialist lines, we must condemn it for it's
|
|
reinforcement of bigoted concepts and social hierarchy.
