A 21st century way to commute through an ancient city. Running from the northern edge of Jerusalem to Mount Herzl in the south, with further extensions planned, the electrified Jerusalem Light Rail has changed the face of transportation in the ancient city. The Light Rail runs 13.9 kilometers (8.6 miles) through the capital, stopping at most major tourist sites and connecting with bus lines. It's a great way to meet the people of Jerusalem and get a real feel for life in the city. As one passenger notes on this video: "It's good to see that they've got signs and announcements in Hebrew, English and Arabic so it's inclusive of everyone. It's really good." ----------------------------------------­­­­­----------------- Visit the MFA's Social Media Channels: Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/IsraelMFA http://www.facebook.com/IsraeliVibe Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/Israel http://www.twitter.com/IsraelMFA Find us on Instagram: @IsraelMFA - http://instagram.com/israelmfa @StateofIsrael - http://instagram.com/stateofisrael Add us on google+ https://plus.google.com/+Israel Have you subscribed to your channel yet? please do! http://www.youtube.com/Israel Please credit the MFA for any use of this video.
