I think its unfair to pass judgement at this stage of operation. Its been test runs for free during the busiest vacation time of the year. Let’s wait and see a few months down the line how it all goes.

But a great start for g-ds city for inevitability

I was completely unimpressed by it. Coming from Melbourne, Australia where there’s a huge light rail network that dates back over a hundred years, this train is a joke. I wanted to get from the Shuk to the Tachana Merkazit, and the sign said the next train was in 35 minutes. I walked and got there in less than 10. So much for every 12 minutes…

I don’t know if it’s such a major terror target, considereing at least half the people riding it were arabs from east jerusalem!!

I was just on it the thing is absolutely worthless. clogs up the whole jerusalem is a major terrorist target because r”l you can hurt so many more people on the train than on a bus. slow as molasses it took 55 minutes from bayit v’gan to shivtei yisroel. dont know what the point was besides possibly to impress the oomos haolam which is a poor way to run a city.

You probably meant “riding WITHOUT paying” – Israel is not Sedom.
