free shuttle service in the metropolitan of Tel Aviv has returned

Gush Dan's free shuttle service in the metropolitan area was returned on Friday. This is combined with four authorities - Givatayim, Kiryat Ono, Ramat Hasharon and Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
The Tel Aviv Taxi Company, which operates the service taxi lines on lines 4 and 5, will operate the free lines. The choice saved the municipalities involved in the project the tender process that would have delayed launching the venture deep into 2020, which would have allowed a new government that might by then be able to curb the initiative.
The idea of ​​running a free shuttle service on Shabbat is not new, but the municipalities involved in the procedure took many years to decide to leave, without justifying why there was such a delay. For Tel Aviv, which was expected to lead the move, the final approval for the move was given last week, so the budget for the first year was also set - NIS 12.5 million.
The City of Tel Aviv says the transport network is based on the small passenger bus system, which includes 19 places.
The entire system currently includes 6 routes that are about 300 km long and will span the metropolitan cities and stop over 500 stations. In the observant areas, "the Tel Aviv municipality promises.
The official hours are Friday from 2am to 6pm and Saturday, from 9am to 5pm. Tel Aviv also says that the lines depart at a regular frequency of every half hour, except for line 710 from Kiryat Ono, which leaves every hour.
