As a result of the increase in morbidity and shortage of drivers in public transport companies, the National Public Transport Authority in the Ministry of Transportation tonight (Thursday) instructed bus companies to integrate drivers from private transport companies on intercity lines, in order to prevent as much damage to public service.
In order to ensure as reliable and regular service as possible, changes were made to the schedules and the frequency of bus lines where the damage would be minimal was temporarily reduced.
As you may recall, only yesterday did Israel Railways announce a number of changes in train traffic, with Carmiel and Ahihud stations operating only during peak hours - 6: 00-9: 00 in the morning, 15: 00-18: 00 in the afternoon.

In addition, the frequency of trains on the Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan-Herzliya line will be at peak hours on two trains every hour in each direction, instead of four. Trains on the Dimona-BS North University line will not be operated.
Frequency on the Ashkelon, Sderot, Netivot, Ofakim, Beer Sheva lines will be on one train per hour, in each direction.
Also, the operating hours on this line will be shortened to 21:00.
Free rides will be operated at stations where there will be no service, from the end of train traffic until the end of operating hours at midnight.
Passengers are asked to follow the changes in the public transportation service through the various means of information, on the sites of the service operators and at the National Information Center for Public Relations at 8787 *.
