Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli and Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman announce they have agreed on a plan to allow Israelis over 75 to use public transportation free of charge.
They say other senior citizens — women over 60 and men over 65 — will continue to get half off.
The measure, part of a reform package they unveiled at a press conference, is expected to take effect over the summer.
