Israel's railways are being expanded and modernised at an amazing rate, the loop line via Netivot to Beer Sheba opened recently.and the new line along the Emek will also be open soon. See www.harakevet.com for more details. I don't expect someone from California to understand much about railways or public transport but Israel is in the top class of European-style transport systems.

It's a shame the work on an express rail to Eilat was abandoned, as it was not cost effective. Perhaps the government should consider the Hyperloop System?

hi......the American people are not familiar with metric system of measuring of distance, so please give us miles, yards and feet etc., or at least next to the metric. thanks.

Whats wrong with Israel - Jews are suppose to have brains!
Two years down the line they still cannot run the train line because there was poor or no supervision by Israel's Ministry of Transport. Perhaps the ex USSR technicians, no they are not engineers, are incapable of doing things correctly because they still hark back to former USSR of the early 1990s
Minister Katz should be forced to resign
