Question
A bus took girls on a trip to the desert, and four girls remained on the bus with two drivers. Is there a concern of Yichud in this situation?
Answer
In a populated area where people pass by constantly and it is possible to see what is happening, there is no concern of Yichud. However, in the desert where people do not pass by, there is a question of Yichud. Since there are two drivers, for Ashkenazim there is no concern, but for Sephardim there is. If the drivers are secular, since they are considered promiscuous, it does not help even for Ashkenazim, and therefore there is a problem of Yichud.
