This is one of the best reasons for the separation of the Church and State.

The state should not provide bus transportation, lunches or anything else
to the religious schools or organizations. Not because the state is against
religion, but because it is the only way of not offending many people.
And the government is not in the business of ofending the law abiding
citizens. If there is as much separation of the Church and State, then each
group can make their own rules, as long they are not too far off the mainstream
of society, and live and let live. Otherwise you will see the hassidim pissed
off at the state for providing the busses with the female drivers,
and orthodox Jews in Israel forcing the rest of the population not have the
bus service on the Shabat.
