Chasidic Bus Company Serving Manhattan
A few years ago, Sol Wollner, 50, and Mrs. Ungar, 50, both chasidic Jews, opened a low-fare bus company serving Midtown Manhattant. Each day for six months, Mr. Wollner, who in the beginning worked with Mrs. Ungar and is now the manager of a competing line, said he would leave his home in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and spend a few hours in Chinatown, "We were watching the Chinatown buses to see what they were doing there, the service they were giving," Mr. Wollner said. At 5 a.m. some days, to late into the evening others, he would chart when buses were leaving full. "I saw what was needed in order to get into this business. Just to jump in, and be another competition, I was not going to do that."
Mrs. Ungar and Mr. Wollner are now engaged in litigation.
