A list of takanos was announced, and bachurim not adhering to the takanos will be tossed from their yeshivas. The takanos include not having even a kosher phone. As well they are not allowed to sit on the bus adjacent to someone with a non-kosher phone.
This will leave more room for us. I'll have to make sure to keep my phone out of my pocket while on the bus so affected bachurim will know about it and not sit next to me. I am not sure who they think they are punishing by forcing these kids to stand (if no other seats are available besides for next to people with non-kosher phones).
Maybe they should devise new mehadrin bus arrangements with four sections - a section for men, another for women and then 2 more for men and women with smartphones.
