Jerusalem Light Rail
The Jerusalem Light Rail is a light rail line, the first of several rapid transit lines planned by Israel for Jerusalem. Construction began in 2002 and ended in 2010, when the testing phase began. It was built by the CityPass consortium, which has a 30-year concession to operate it.
Construction also involved building the Jerusalem Chords Bridge, a major city landmark, and renovating a number of central locations in the city. After repeated delays, the light rail began free and limited passenger service on August 19, 2011. Full operations began December 1, 2011. The line is 13.9 kilometers (8.6 mi) long with 23 stops. Extensions are planned to the north to Neve Yaacov and to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem to the west.
