After many delays - line 5 is underway
At a good time, after a series of delays, line 5 of the Matron was launched, which will connect the Yagor intersection through the Bar-Yehuda road in Nesher to the Hadar neighborhood in Haifa. As I recall, the line was supposed to open at the end of 2020, but was postponed until the end of 2021, and then postponed again and again, until, as mentioned, it was finally launched today, Tuesday 20/9/22.
"A day will come when we will be able to cooperate with the Haifa Municipality in a good way and upgrade the transportation infrastructure in the city," said the Minister of Transportation
The new line will start operating on October 7, on a dedicated and fast route, using electric buses, modern and environmentally friendly articulated buses.
"This line will also operate on Saturday" ► Watch
The Minister of Transportation and Road Safety, MK Merav Michaeli, participated today in a test drive of the new line of the Matron, line 5, in preparation for its operation from Friday, October 7, 2022.
The Mayor of Nesher, Roi Levy: "It is not new that I have a comment on what is happening in the north" ► Watch
The line is connected to Haifa's public transportation system
The new line 5, operated by "Superbus", will connect in a circular route between the Yagor Terminal and the stations Country Club Nesher, Stadium Nesher, Nesher-Center of the City, Emek HaCarmel, Hasportek, Nesher-Shopping Center, Four-Tech, Big Shaar Ha'ir, Gesher Paz , HaGivori St., Halisa neighborhood, Beit Izai, Talfiot Market, Lev Hadar, Beit HaKarona, the Prophets and Haifa Municipality.

It will operate on Shabbat and will reach Rambam Hospital
The line is connected to the public transportation system in Haifa, including the metro network, Israel Railways, Carmelit and buses. From the beginning of Shabbat to the end of Shabbat, line 5A will operate, connecting Yagor Terminal to the Rambam Hospital in Haifa. The line will operate every day of the week, from 5 am to midnight, with an increased frequency of 7-10 minutes. The journey time on the line will be 25 minutes on average one way.
Michaeli: "There are those who prevent the cable car from operating on Shabbat - we will continue to fight for it - this is our truth" ► Watch
Tzachi Neve, CEO of Superbus:
"We are happy to jointly open the Ministry of Transportation and the Public Transportation Authority, an additional line for the well-being of the residents. The line is expected to reduce traffic congestion, meet the high demand and provide a simple and quick response to the areas of employment, recreation and commerce and provide a reliable and convenient transportation solution for the residents of the metropolis."
Roy Levy, Mayor of Nesher: "Take the north as a national project, otherwise the young people will continue to run away" ► Watch
Director General of the Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety, Michal Frank:
"The new Line 5 is added to the frequent and advanced Matron line network, and will provide a quick and efficient response to demand in the area, and in particular at the busy junction between roads 2, 4 and 6. For almost a decade, the Matron has been an integral part of the Haifa landscape, with electric buses that move along preferential routes." .

Excellent! But why does line 5A to Rambam only work on Shabbat????
What about Rambam's employees all week??
I would love to take the bus to work.
But I have to take a train instead!
Why are the stations so far apart, one in the Levi vineyards and one in the stadium, what are the elderly people doing who live in the middle like the defenders, Deborah, and why didn't they make a station in front of a lot of fire? As always was in the middle
The line did not start working!!!
Need public transportation 24/7! point
I agree with every word. The residents of Carmel are not counted at all. The frequency of buses is low. There are no convenient and safe access routes between the neighborhoods. It would be possible to connect them using culverts and tunnels to encourage walking. Pleasant and green
Public transportation in Israel must undergo significant improvements.
It is very difficult for the disabled or any person with a health problem to use public transportation in Israel, especially by bus or subway... The train is relatively good and should operate 24 hours a day! And also the Carmelite, the cable car, and the matronies. The wages of the drivers must rise, and the drivers must be provided with excellent conditions! Unlike what is happening now... then it will be possible to find out the drivers and choose only those who drive safely and not robber drivers like we unfortunately have now because their bosses encourage them to drive crazy fast
Only a quarter of Haifa's residents travel by bus as their main means of transportation.
In the past it was 60%, in the 90s it dropped to 40%, in the 2000s it dropped to 30% and now even less.
The matron has siphoned off tens of thousands for the car - years of road work, no buses on weekends, unclear frequency and especially matron - billions on buses that don't serve two thirds of Haifa's population.
The lack of care for public transportation to and from the Carmel Ridge has created neighborhoods full of cars. If an average neighborhood in Carmel had about 30 vehicles 200 years ago, today there are 1200, or the same amount of vehicles for an entire neighborhood in one street today. Since "it is impossible to continue like this" the city engineer approves the addition of hundreds of apartments in TMA 38 with a parking standard of 2. That means the addition of hundreds more vehicles, in neighborhoods with a high number of TMA 38 this could reach an addition of 300 vehicles in the coming years . It's not normal, and no one cares about it.
The solution to this illusory magic is to destroy the "access roads to the closed neighborhoods" but these will also become a dangerous and congested column of vehicles, that is clear to everyone. On the contrary, the entrance of hundreds of vehicles to go down to the Haifa entrances through those congested neighborhoods will create an even more closed neighborhood. When hundreds of vehicles from the residents of Romema and Vardia will make their way through Samson to Zafaririm to go down through Carmelia and Kabbir to the southern entrances, what we will get is a 20-minute traffic jam at the entrance to the neighborhoods. If today the traffic jam during rush hour reaches the middle of Shimshon Street, it will reach the Verdia intersection, every day, morning, noon and night. it will be fun.
Metroship burns 60-70 million shekels per kilometer, while marking existing roads and changing parking lanes for the NTAT is estimated at 5-10 million shekels per kilometer and the implementation time is weeks instead of years. And wonder of wonders, this solution is not implemented anywhere in the Carmel Range. Nowhere. Nowhere road. Why? The municipality is afraid of the anger of the residents. Populism causes traffic jams, and those who complain are also the ones who block the possibility of changing the situation.
The city council understands that transportation is important, therefore no councilor or deputy mayor holds a transportation portfolio. Leave that to organized cities. There is no transport department or public transport here. There is a road and traffic department and it concentrates on roads and parking lots. So what's the wonder that public transport is collapsing and being abandoned more and more. The residents lost faith. Instead of the cable car allowing a descent to the Mtm to the beaches and the destroyed stadium, stick the project to the campuses and the demand is zero (don't be impressed by the first year's data, which mainly included domestic tourism to see the great innovation).
Public transportation in Haifa requires a leader. It's the truth. There is no leadership, neither political nor planning. There is no one who will generalize the needs and problems into a complete and true urban action plan that includes solutions to encourage walking, sidewalks, safe crossings, bicycles, the subsidence of the train, bus routes and more. The downside of this hurts Haifa severely.
Hope that soon, they will also return the trains to Netveg at night. Because the taxis are driving the residents, and I didn't say that...?

You don't need a taxi. There is also line 905 from the center of the bay (also passes through Matam) and runs all night.
Why won't line 5 operate on Saturdays on the same route as the whole week????
Once again, public transportation to Hadar, which is the heart of Haifa, is shut down.
Line 5 joins line 3, which is also a Torah from Sinai, removed from Hadar.
It seems to me that you are acting from the power of religious and not social forces
Generals who come to serve the population that needs this transportation mainly on Saturdays.
Haifa is not Iran
The route does not pass through a religious environment
What's more, within the religious environment (Michael St.) transportation is conducted on Saturdays as usual..
Someone probably doesn't fully understand the purpose of public transportation
A person who travels by public transport must stand up and decide on the routes and not just show off with words
For years we waited for the matron and only during the shift of the Minister of Transportation, the project came to fruition.
To all detractors, you do not understand the importance of the project and its benefit to the residents and/or you will not use the matron but your private car and the residents of the city of Nesher thank Sarah from the bottom of their hearts, who worked tirelessly for our sake and does a great job, in contrast to her predecessor who, for example, bought train cars and it turns out that they are lower than the platform and capital is thrown into the sea.
Cheers to Sarah.

The minister came to cut a film and take a picture in a project in which she has no hand or foot.
All of the minister's projects come down to votes and ribbon cutting. Maybe you will share with us the kilometers of road and the bridges whose construction she is promoting?
Okay honey, keep lying. The residents of Nesher really *don't thank* everyone who had a hand in building the metroship in the city, a construction that destroyed the entire lower part of the city and which will not be used by the residents of Nesher at all!! But only the residents of Yegor!!
This project brought Nesher down to the city beyond with a load of eradication that contributed nothing to this project and will be the only ones who benefit from it!
Respond on your own behalf if you are satisfied, don't lie and say that all Neshar residents are satisfied because that is a gross lie that is easy to disprove!!!
Is there a chance that a matron will come to Nahariya someday?
Tel Aviv has light rail and metro lines.
In Jerusalem there is a network of light rail lines and bus routes.
in Haifa? Well, take some bus lines and toll tunnels.
Seth, to get to Lin you get off at the Gesher Paz station, and continue with Matroni line 1 or 2, by the way, from that station you can continue on to all different destinations
All the best to Mirav Michaeli, as usual she inaugurated a project for which she has no contribution whatsoever.
It's probably not effective, this line.
It does not reach the Gulf Central (for onward journeys) nor the lower city where there are many areas of interest (for example the huge branch of Kopfh Klalit - Linn).
How exactly are the residents of Yegur and Nesher who are not interested in Big Checkpost or the Hadar neighborhood supposed to conduct themselves? How will we get to the bay switchboard to continue? How will we get to Lin? For the Ministry of Transportation, the short-haul and money-saving solutions...
right! I didn't really understand the efficiency of this line except for the trip to the shopping center,
Before calling out the current government that has been in office for about a year and has done wonders and praising in vain the one who orders the cars that are low from the platform and the fortune that is thrown into the sea, you must look inside your city and realize what is happening in it and not on the positive side of our wishes.
Too bad the other lines don't work.
A loss for chips
The municipality of Nesher, Nablus and the Arab states that it has nothing to do with the public transportation that runs through the city and serves its residents and that those who have a problem should take care of it themselves and turns a deaf ear to the residents' complaints.
Recently, all five lines that entered the city of Marksim and Kiryat Ata were canceled, this is in addition to the Yakneam lines (with the exception of 181 which rarely passes).
Those who live in the stadium area will have to walk a long distance of 2 stops to get to Tel Hanan, take a bus from there to Haifa and the same way back, and furthermore, those who want to get to Ridges and/or Kiryat Ata, must go to the Bay Central and not directly from Nesher as before.
As mentioned, the matron will only start working on 7.10.22 and the solution she will bring with her is only partial. The residents of the stadium and the surrounding area, most of whom are elderly and some of whom are hard-working people who work outside the Nesher, will walk 2 stops, which is a long distance for those who know, and all this in order to reach Tel Hanan for public transportation and travel to receive medical treatments in Haifa and/or to work.
Life in the city has become unbearable difficulties and it is getting worse and there is no savior.
Taking pictures and cutting films is fine, yes, there will be many...
Look, it's clear you have no idea what you're talking about, but at least don't show how much.
The municipality of Nesher has *no connection* to the lines that pass through it and it decides on them only partially, just like in Haifa and in all the cities in Israel, the sole decision makers are the Ministry of Transportation who throw a dick at the residents and their needs! They do not answer emails or problems and have no desire to handle anything! And this is a known problem!
Do you want to be mad at someone? Be angry with the Ministry of Transportation for canceling lines without giving an alternative because of the stupid cable car!
Instead of a matron on the Carmel ridge, Kalish gave it up on the grounds that it is not suitable for planning construction in the city. There are those who do and there are those who cover.
The matron cannot go up to the Carmel ridge. It's literally a double bus, it can't go up the hills of the mountain!!
And this line turns Nesher into a stop for the residents of Yegur and destroyed the city, this is not a good thing in any way!
You want to be angry with Kalish - don't be angry about things you don't understand and talk nonsense!
Another continuation of a dream act. Paving a unique transportation line for a bus and a half that will pass every ten minutes. Not a particularly busy axis. It's a shame for every shekel invested in this stupidity
400 million shekels went down the drain on 8 km of a bus line that could have been marked with paint cans in the right lane like the defense road, unbelievable. But it's just like that.
Definitely right
Congratulations ??
Hope that soon, they will also return the trains to Netveg at night.
There is a strong feeling that the train is not being returned due to the lack of cooperation between the Ministry of Transport and the Municipality of Haifa.
"A day will come when we will be able to cooperate with the Haifa Municipality in a good way and upgrade the transportation infrastructure in the city," said the Minister of Transportation. Absolutely, after a click you'll go home
Amen
If you take a look inside any type of public transportation,
You will notice that most of the passengers are empty, and even though you are over 75, the ride is free.
The audience's taste, does not agree with public transportation and the Ministry of Transportation to take this to their attention.
And regarding Israel Railways, which consumers try to use,
The failed management allows severe damage to the schedules,
Which makes the train completely unreliable.

Honorable Yaakov, when was the last time you traveled to Tivat?
There is a rush and rush..
Not all are retired police officers.
It is seen that you drive a car only according to your response
A quack in a pound.
As a passenger on Matron Line 1 and Line 2, I can testify that they are packed throughout the day and not necessarily with an elderly population, but on the contrary with all age groups.
