Interesting article. I am going to take a guess that within months the turn around will be inside the green line. I wish that wasn't so but the tram will be too easy a target with the new terror campaign on by Islamic Jihad. House demolitions here we come.

That's what they are known in America.

"Palestinian" neighbourhoods...Giving up neighbourhoods for peace... lightrail to Ramalla... Rubbish!

Now who became very rich creating this "fantastic" solution? and what of Mayor Mr. Barkat's campaign promise to rid the city of this thing?

You really should check your facts: In many parts of the world tram (now called LRT) systems are being constructed, revived and expanded as a safe, convenient, sustainable, environmentally friendly, efficient and economically justifiable urban transportation solution. "Trams beat Jams"
