Transport in Jerusalem

The Atarot-Talpiot route (Highway 60) is the main route which traverses the center of the city; and Herzl Boulevard, which begins at the northern entrance of the city and continues south via Mount Herzl and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

[1][2] The eastern half of the project was conceptualized decades ago, but reaction to the proposed highway is still mixed.

This system is based out of the East Jerusalem Central Bus Station on Sultan Suleiman Street, though buses also leave from outside the Damascus Gate of the Old City.

The Egged and the East Jerusalem Arab city bus networks are almost completely separated.

The main line is the new high-speed rail link, which opened in 2018, with an expected transit time from Tel Aviv of about 30 minutes.

The first line of the Jerusalem Light Rail network was completed in 2010 with the erection of Santiago Calatrava's Chords Bridge over Jaffa Road.

The first line began operating from Pisgat Ze'ev in the northeast, through French Hill and Jaffa Road to the Central Bus Station and the southwestern neighborhoods.

Extensions of the line are expected to open in 2025 after significant delays to Hadassa Ein Kerem Hospital in the west and to the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in the north.
