Israel Railways is preparing for expected congestion near Ramat Gan Stadium due to the NEXT concert series, taking place from October 8 to 22. As part of the preparations, special trains will operate from the nearby Bnei Brak station to destinations across the country: north to Nahariya, and south to Ashkelon, Be'er Sheva, and Herzliya via the Sharon stations. The special trains will run on a 'load and go' basis after the shows, according to demand and end time. Additionally, standby trains will be stationed for use if needed, and the routes of several regular trains will be extended. Security guards, attendants, and managers will be reinforced at stations to ensure orderly crowd exit. Israel Railways noted that on Thursdays, October 8 and 15, northbound trains will end their journey at Haifa Hof HaCarmel station due to construction work on the 'Nofit' light rail, with shuttles operating from there onward. The railway recommends that concertgoers arrive early, follow instructions, and consider purchasing a daily pass.
