By EHUD ZION WALDOKS
The Environmental Protection Ministry submitted an indictment in the Petah Tikva Magistrates Court against the Egged bus company for air pollution last
week, the ministry released Sunday.
According to the ministry's lawyers, the company was supposed to buy new buses in 2006 that adhered to the "Euro 4" emissions standard, the most up-to-date available. Instead, the company bought 168 buses which adhered to the earlier "Euro 3" standard and just two that complied with the "Euro 4" standard.
According to the ministry, 168 "Euro 3" buses contribute 30 tons more pollution than "Euro 4" models would.
