Public Transportation System * Israel - To be overhauled
The Transportation Ministry intends to establish a unified public transport authority to better manage and regulate public transportation in cities and encourage the use of buses and trainsTel Aviv,Israel -The Jerusalem Post -Jan 8, 2008: -- "Our aim is to ensure that public transportation becomes a real alternative for car owners," Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz said Monday at a press conference in Tel Aviv upon the release of the Sadan Report on public transportation. "One of the main reasons for the decline in recent years in the use of public transportation is the quality of services. We believe that the integration of all public services into one authority, to be in place by the end of 2009, will make the system more efficient and public means of transport more attractive to citizens."...
