Egged has introduced a series of innovations and improvements
designed to serve Jerusalem's chareidi residents.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Line 1 to the Kosel Maarovi now
departs every 12 minutes rather than every 15 minutes. In the
opposite direction departure frequency has also been
increased to every 12 minutes from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Line 5 to the Mount of Olives has become Line 5 Alef. The
route and departure times remain unchanged. Egged is now
operating a new Line 5 Express Shuttle from the Central Bus
Station to the Malcha Terminal via Begin Highway South. At
Malcha Terminal passengers can transfer to interurban lines
bound for Judea and Hevron. The line offers frequent
departure times and a very quick ride.
Line 39 from Atirot Mada to Bayit Vegan will boost departure
times from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes from 6:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the
opposite direction.
Line 982 is offering greatly increased departure times during
Yemei Hashovevim. Sunday through Thursday, Egged provides 14
daily departures from Jerusalem to Tzfas via Meron and 12
departures from Tzfas to Jerusalem.
