Trains to resume partial operations on Sunday
Transportation Minister Bezalel Smotrich says his office has finalized agreements with the Health Ministry that will allow trains to resume service this coming Sunday.
The first stage will see only some lines resume, with certain changes in routes and no service at all on Fridays and Saturdays. Passenger numbers in train cars will not be limited but Israel Railways authorities will focus on stressing the need for social distancing and hygiene measures at all times.
At the end of the month further lines will renew operations, pending authorization from the Health Ministry.
