Jerusalem Draws 1 Million Visitors During Pesach
By Yechiel Sever
Some one million people visited Jerusalem during Pesach,
including a constant stream of people praying at the Kosel
Maarovi.
Bus Lines 1 and 2, the main lines to the Kosel, were boosted
substantially throughout Chol Hamoed, along with special
direct lines from various neighborhoods. However many
residents complained that the Kosel lines were reinforced at
the expense of regular bus lines serving chareidi
neighborhoods, which were left with an inadequate supply of
buses.
Following widespread complaints regarding the allegedly poor
performance of the Traffic Police and the disrupted bus lines
in various neighborhoods, Deputy Mayor Rabbi Uri Maklev said
he would demand the City Council hold a special meeting with
various officials in attendance to discuss and identify the
problems that arose during Pesach and seek ways to improve
the situation in the future.
