I begin with a quote attributed to George Bernard Shaw: 'Youth is the most precious thing in life; it’s a shame that it has to be wasted on the young.'
Ah, the joys of senior citizenry. The latest perk that Israeli society has thrown our way is free public transportation: From the age of 67, Israeli citizens can travel for free on all buses and trains throughout the country – even the Haifa funicular.'
Not only that, but the seats at the front of the bus are reserved for seniors, with a sign quoting the biblical verse “And you shall rise before the aged” (thus allowing us to unseat recalcitrant youngsters).
