Jerusalem Moves to Completion of ‘Historic Transportation Revolution’
Jerusalem takes giant steps towards completing a historic transportation revolution, connecting red and green light rail lines. First phase expected to open in 2026.
Jerusalem, 6 August, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The city of Jerusalem is taking giant steps toward what the National Public Transportation Authority called a “historic transportation revolution:” Connecting the red and green lines of the light rail – towards the operation of the first light rail network of its kind in Israel.
Upon completion of the project, the Green Line – the second light rail line in the capital – will stretch for about 20 kilometers, from the Gilo neighborhood in the south to the Mount Scopus campus in the north. The line will pass through Malha, the city center and the Government Building and will include 41 stations.
The first part of the line is expected to open to the public as early as 2026, with two new service lines that will connect hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors to the city’s rail network.
