Metro Bus Yellow Line Plan Approved

Minister Regev: “The line will provide continuous connection from north to south and strengthen connectivity between residential, employment, and service centers. This is a project that combines transportation innovation with environmentally friendly solutions.”
Another significant step towards promoting a high-capacity public transportation system. The National Infrastructure Committee (VATAL) today (Monday) approved the plan of the Ministry of Transportation and Netivei Ayalon Company (NTA) for the establishment of the yellow line of the Metronit (BRT) in the Gush Dan area, as well as the establishment of the necessary terminals for its operation. This is part of the National Master Plan for Mass Transit in Israel.
The Yellow Line will pass through six local authorities: Ramat HaSharon, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Bnei Brak, and Holon. The line is approximately 16 kilometers long and is expected to serve about 140,000 residents living near the route, as well as an additional 56,000 employees who are within walking distance of the line.
The line is intended to create continuous transportation connectivity from north to south in eastern Tel Aviv and its neighboring cities, and to serve as a complementary layer to the mass transit system in the metropolitan area. As part of its operation, the line will connect with nine central public transportation systems, including three metro lines, three light rail lines (Red, Green, and Purple), two Israel Railways stations, the Blue Line (BRT) promoted by Netivei Ayalon Company, and regional bus terminals.
The project is expected to serve tens of thousands of passengers daily, contribute to reducing road congestion, improve accessibility between residential, employment, and service centers, and strengthen public transportation as an efficient alternative to private vehicles. The line is being promoted in the National Infrastructure Committee as part of Tatal 200, led by the Senior Department of Metro and Mass Transit.
Minister of Transportation and Road Safety, Brigadier General (Res.) Miri Regev: “The approval of the Yellow Line is a significant milestone in the realization of the public transportation system in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. The line will provide continuous connection from north to south and strengthen connectivity between residential, employment, and service centers. This is a project that combines transportation innovation with environmentally friendly solutions. I am proud of the teams at the Ministry of Transportation and Netivei Ayalon Company for the professional work that led to the rapid approval of the plan.”
Director General of the Ministry of Transportation, Moshe Ben Zaken: “The Yellow Line is a central component of the mass transit system in Gush Dan and will improve the mobility of residents and workers in the area. It will connect with a variety of existing and future transportation systems, thus providing a comfortable, fast, and efficient travel experience. The line is expected to alleviate road congestion and support national environmental goals. The Ministry of Transportation is committed to promoting projects that connect the public to life centers in the city and its surroundings.”
