Jerusalem Light Rail hahahahaha

A friend who has not been in Israel for a year asked whether the light rail system was running. Hahahahaha.

There has been progress, or at least change. Tracks are laid. Station shelters are in place with electronic signboards ready to show when the next train will arrive.

Some time in mid April.

Meanwhile Jaffa Road is closed to all vehicular traffic. For three months there will be no transportation, public or private on Jaffa Road. Of the first time in at least 3,000 years.

The light rail project is 13 years old. http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/transportation-mural.html described the warning mural.

There's been a road along more or less the same route, going to Jaffa, for thousands of years.
