There will be 17 stations on the 50km line, and an end to end journey time of 50 minutes is envisaged. Each train will accommodate up to 300 passengers, with a daily forecast ridership of 100,000 passengers.
The plans have been announced by Irit Shperber, director of transport planning in Israel’s Transport Ministry, for the construction of a tram-train line between Haifa Lev-Ha-Migrate, Kiryat-Ata, Shefaram, and Nazareth. The project is part of a wider plan to improve public transport in the Haifa area, IRJ reports.
