Afikim Bus Driver Caught Watching TikTok While Driving
A driver for the Israeli bus company Electra Afikim was suspended on Monday after a video surfaced showing him watching TikTok while operating bus route 350 from Bnei Brak to Ashdod. The footage captured the driver repeatedly touching his phone and viewing videos, despite passengers' pleas for him to focus on the road. Passengers expressed fear and concern for their safety, with one recounting that the driver ignored their requests to stop and instead yelled at them. Electra Afikim issued a statement acknowledging the incident, emphasizing they take such behavior very seriously. The company confirmed the driver was immediately removed from his duties and barred from further trips with them. This incident follows recent reports of new fines and increased road monitoring for drivers in Israel.
