Question
Is there a halachic prohibition for a woman in a crowded bus to sit next to a man when there is no other choice? (when the trips are daily and long)
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is no halachic prohibition to sit when it is clear that there will be no touching.
However, certainly, each situation should be considered individually in terms of Chilul Hashem and conduct in the ways of modesty.
