Trains to run on special schedule ahead of Yom Kippur, Israel Railways announces
On the eve of the holiday, Sunday, September 20, trains will run on an increased schedule until 13:00 p.m.
Israel Railways has announced that trains will operate on a special schedule during Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday starting on September 20. On the holiday eve, Sunday, September 20, trains between Haifa and Tel Aviv will run two trains per hour from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., doubling the usual frequency of one train per hour. After 1 p.m., all train traffic will halt until Tuesday, September 22.
Overnight trains between Monday and Tuesday will run as scheduled. The planned Gush Dan metro trains will be fully automated and capable of operating on holidays, potentially reducing Shabbat violations. However, security and operations personnel will still be necessary during Shabbat. The decision to implement weekend service is ultimately up to the political leadership.
