Dreams at Ben Gurion Airport? The Ministry of Transportation finds it difficult to separate passengers returning from abroad from port workers - and pays millions of shekels for organized transportation, when the solution is seemingly within reach.
Anyone returning from abroad is not allowed to use public transportation, but according to the ministry's decision, Ben Gurion Airport employees are also not allowed to use the trains and buses that pass through the place.
For the Ministry of Transport, the difficulty is to differentiate between passengers with luggage and employees, who hold special badges.
However, train workers say that it is possible to open one gate and place guards, whose workers will display their badges to board the train.
Meanwhile, such a rate does not exist and the state spends large sums.
A transportation company, which operates the shuttles for employees, said that the cost of a bus to Tel Aviv (round trip) is NIS 1,700.
The Ministry of Transportation operates about 17 such shuttles a day to Tel Aviv and a similar number to Lod, which costs about NIS 1 million a month, which the public pays and currently also pays.
For the workers themselves, this is also an unnecessary hassle, as the transportation lengthens and complicates the way home.
"It is impossible to separate"
The Ministry of Transportation responded: "In order to allow Ben Gurion Airport workers to return home, special shuttles (shuttles) were allocated from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv and Lod. Effectively, it is not possible to separate passengers returning from abroad and Ben Gurion Airport workers by train Placing guards at train entrances is not feasible at all. "
Were we wrong?
