CityPass / Jerusalem Light Rail Transit

Jerusalem was the first city in Israel to build a light rail system. CityPass was apparently plagued by significant political and construction delays and at the time of our visit was only running test trains. Work on the line began in 2002 and it opened for revenue service in December of 2011.
