Why is there still no train to Eilat? Transportation to one of the most strategic places in the country cannot rely on 3rd world methods, such as overcrowded buses on narrow dusty roads.

Gantz ( Netanyahus only serious challenger ) is all in favor of public transport on Shabbat whilst Netanyahu is not not least because he would loose support of religious parties who would be essential to forming a coalition.
Conveniently Ynet is anti Netanyahu, surely it could not be that the motivation for this article was to encourage people to vote for Gantz rather than Netanyahu.

Where there is dense population there is absolutely no need for a private car.

"Therefore, in the coming elections, we ought to vote only for parties that commit to fundamentally change public transit policy in Israel"
Yes, because that's the only problem we have here. I cannot see myself voting for anyone - I'll just enjoy a day off with family.

to get anywhere, with the horrendous congestion on our roads, in the cities.
We're just a tiny bit "underdeveloped" in some areas.....
For Pete's sake: give us SOMETHING to improve on in the next....70 years!! :-)

THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE ROADS OR EACH OTHER. I NEVER DRIVER IN ISRAEL. I DON'T WANT TO DIE BY A SELFISH DRIVER. EVEN THE BUS DRIVERS FROM KAVIM, DAN, AND EGGED MANY WOULD LOSS THEIR DRIVING LICENSES IN AMERICA. ALWAYS RUSHING AND DRIVING TOO FAST.
