The Planning Administration has begun promoting a plan to build a metro in Jerusalem, which will connect the capital with the nearby settlements: Beit Shemesh, Mevsaret Zion and Ma'ale Adumim. According to the administration's data, the light rail lines are not adapted to the growth rate of the city's population, which is expected to reach more than a million people - therefore a supplementary transportation solution is required

The Planning Administration has begun to promote a plan to build a subway in Jerusalem, which will connect the nearby settlements such as Beit Shemesh, Mevsharat Zion and Ma'ale Adumim to the capital - this is how it became known today (Monday) to Walla!.



Director General of the Planning Administration Rafael Elmaleh revealed at a conference of the Real Estate Center in cooperation with the Jerusalem Municipality that an examination of the construction of a metro in Jerusalem has begun.

Wow!

It was learned that the future metro will connect the settlements of the Jerusalem metropolis to the employment centers in the city by an underground train, and in particular to the Malha area.

The issue of infrastructure, with an emphasis on transportation, requires adjustment to the rate of population growth in the city, which is expected to be over a million inhabitants.

According to data from the Planning Administration, the existing and planned light rail lines in the capital are expected to meet the growing demand until 2030, therefore a complementary transportation solution such as the metro is required.



Elmaleh said that "the planning administration understands that Jerusalem is already fully occupied in terms of transportation, which means that all means of transportation in the city will exhaust themselves. Therefore, the planning administration, together with the Ministry of Transportation, the transportation master team and the Ministry of Finance, began to examine alternatives for building a metro in Jerusalem."
