A codimension-one foliation of a closed three-manifold is taut if every leaf meets a closed transverse curve. In particular, the fibers of a bundle over form a taut foliation.
A closed transversal is a closed curve everywhere transverse to the leaves of a foliation. A single such curve meeting every leaf proves that the foliation is a taut foliation.
