Good public transportation can change our lives: get us to work quickly and cheaply, free up our time, and save us expenses for traveling by private car, and sometimes even for purchasing one.
Public transportation affects real estate prices, apartments located near light rail lines and with good accessibility to heavy trains are sold at higher prices, or rented at higher prices in the case of air B&B apartments. In such areas are also the sought-after hotels. So good public transportation is not
only The concern of the residents, but also of the tourists who can enjoy a pleasant, efficient and cheaper vacation, get more done and spend less time and money on travel and taxis. So where do you find
these cities? Time Out asked 20,000 people in 50 major cities in the world to rate the public transportation in their city, and to determine how easy it is to navigate it. The 19 cities with the best scores, 80 or higher, entered the published ranking. Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem are not on the list.
Who does?
Specifically, London and New York, two cities whose public transportation is popular among Israelis, did not enter the top of the list, and are not placed among the first ten.
In the days when the government continues to delay in promoting the metro project in Gush Dan, it is not surprising that only one of the cities on the list, Edinburgh in Scotland, does not have a subway.
Most of them have both a metro and a light rail, which in Jerusalem has been operating since 2011 and is currently suffering from delays in opening important extensions of the existing single line, something that Gush Dan will finally receive only next month.
