Completion of the light rail works may be postponed again and again, but the city's commuters will soon be able to take comfort in new and improved maps of public transport routes. The Tel Aviv Municipality will soon begin deploying 800 new maps, which will show the route routes across a map of the city in a clear and simple way to get around.
The metro bus lines will appear on the map, which together with the three future light rail lines will form the backbone of transportation in Gush Dan. "As in advanced cities around the world, the Ministry of Transportation and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality are promoting a hierarchical system of public transportation service," Walla! Ofir Cohen, director of the municipality's transportation, traffic and parking authority, said. "Most of the lines already operate at a high frequency of 10-4 minutes during peak hours, and enjoy preference for exclusive lanes (Natzim). The metro bus network is complemented by dozens of other urban lines, and of course a wide network of suburban and intercity lines.".

The new maps will come into use as the work progresses on the red line of the light rail, which held its first full test ride three weeks ago.
In addition, infrastructure work is now beginning on the following lines, which are being carried out, among others, on Ibn Gvirol and Ben Yehuda streets.
"We believe that precisely while working on the three light rail lines at the same time, there is a need to upgrade the level of service in public transport," says Cohen, "both by significantly increasing the frequency of travel and by giving preference to the various streets."
