Soldiers banned from using trains during the Sunday Morning Rush Hour, Road 1 into Jerusalem to be widened

Soldiers banned from using trains during the Sunday Morning Rush Hour


In order to save the IDF money and to relieve the heavy crowding on Israel’s trains on Sunday mornings, when thousands of soldiers use the rail lines to return to their bases after weekends off, soldiers were yesterday banned for the first time from using Israel Railways between 6am and 9am on Sunday mornings.  Instead soldiers are being encouraged to use 'free army buses' which are running from train stations.


What are your views on this, did it make your journey better?  Are your a soldier that is suffering from this new policy?  Leave a comment.






Road 1 into Jerusalem to be widened


Following the initial Government approval in April 2011, Haaretz has reported that the Supreme Court has given the go-ahead to the project, by rejecting complaints into the construction of the wider and improved road leading into Jerusalem


The construction is likely to take four years to complete, which will see new bridges and tunnels built to make the journey into and out of Jerusalem easier and quicker, by removing many of the steep hills and sharp corners between Shar Hagai and the entrance to Jerusalem.
