PASSENGER SERVICES FINALLY BEGIN ON NEW JERUSALEM TRAMWAY

摘要

Despite rumours that the squabbles between Israel's Economics Ministry and the Transportation Ministry would delay it until 14 September, the City-Pass consortium launched passenger services on the 13.8km (8.6-mile) tramway line from Mount Herzl to Pisgat Zeev at 05.30 on 19 August. The low-key opening came after consultants issued the final safety certificate to permit passenger operation following eight months of trial running.
