Hundreds of bus routes to change for Haredim - details
Israel's Ministry of Transportation is implementing temporary changes to the bus route network from July 29 to August 14, adjusting schedules to match yeshiva vacations. Routes will be modified in ultra-Orthodox areas, with increased service to recreational sites, but without adding extra buses—by reallocating resources, raising questions about the ministry's priorities.

Routes will be modified in ultra-Orthodox areas, with increased service to recreational sites, but without adding extra buses—by reallocating resources, raising questions about the ministry's priorities. The changes will affect Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Safed, Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee, Mount Meron, Superland Park, and the segregated beaches of Ashkelon. Amid a driver shortage and route cancellations, passengers on other routes will face longer waits. The National Public Transportation Authority stated it is adapting services to seasonal demand.
