Israel Railways: Bet Shemesh to Tel Aviv

North of Bet Shemesh, the topography becomes considerably more level and the train accordingly became much faster and more crowded.

Notably, a number of young people in military uniforms got on board. The Israel Defense Forces folks take public transit to work and come fully armed and loaded - which is oddly comforting and disturbing at the same time.
