Jerusalem Opens L3 Light Rail Line, Creating First Interconnected Network
WHY IT MATTERS
This expansion improves mobility, reduces traffic, and signals progress in Jerusalem's public transport infrastructure for residents and visitors.
What happened
Jerusalem’s new L3 light rail line has opened after years of construction, disruption, and delays. The line links Haturim to Malha, completing the city’s first interconnected light rail network.
The opening marks a milestone in the city’s public transportation development, providing a direct connection between previously isolated segments. The project’s completion follows a prolonged period of delays that had stalled the network’s expansion.
With the L3 line now operational, commuters can travel between Haturim and Malha without transferring to other modes of transport, streamlining travel across the city’s rail system.
