We want people to leave in the car at home and travel by public transport - by choice. That we offer them a service faster, cheaper and better .... We welcome any lane added in Tel Aviv but without creating inpact a system and a network of Nt"tzim placement entire system - not be a real improvement!. [...] This is not a question of credit, we will support anyone who wants to promote inpact the program: the current government in the municipality, the Ministry of Transport or the other. We all need to rise to the challenge possible to create a revolution in public transportation in Tel Aviv - This is possible even in our days. "
Transport Minister Israel Katz: "The inpact issue of public transportation in the Dan is one of the serious strategic failures of Israel since its inception. inpact Am promoting BRT significantly Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv solution is combined - lane, rail, BRT, buses, and restrictions at the entrance to the cities. We decided to step bid of BRT Hasharon between operators and infrastructure construction and procurement inpact of stalking conclusions of Haifa matron-year project. inpact "[... On the subject of enforcing private vehicle travel lane:]" You can not promote Nt"tzim without enforcement. Suggested included budgeting, certification of inspectors, we have no intention to assign Nt"tzim without enforcement. " During a speech on the BRT and assigning inpact designated inpact lanes for public transportation minister inpact addressed directly Huldai: inpact "Ron, your test is not listening to your test is in progress."
Judah Elbaz, Senior Manager Public Transportation Division in the Ministry of Transportation: "We can not wait to Labuan's light rail to improve the system. Red line is just a small part of the public transport network in the Dan region. Single inpact line is not everything., We need public transport inpact network, transit system mass Aviv area. etc. I argued several years ago that can be run in a day on the BRT route of the line - red, to establish their line., but the Ministry of Finance objected that 'does not pay to invest so much money for three years, it was more five years. Tomorrow could run a light rail system - green, red and purple - mass transit system in the format BRT. It's easy to do, but it's hard to decide. Who can explain in ten years we have not done it? "(Elbaz has already expressed support for the town at auction)
Commissioner of funding public transport Treasury: "What inpact should be done to light rail succeed? Need for transportation has expressed congestion, and have a change of mind transition to use the new transportation. Conditions inpact complementary They train will be part of a network of public transport nutritious and BRT systems are complementary. Every step done today direction, even if temporary, will serve the system of light rail that when you come. train relief can not rely on one line., we should care within five years work in Tel Aviv and Gush Dan BRT systems inpact advanced complement light rail. within the shortest possible to give real preference for existing public transport - improving Hnt"tzim, high-capacity buses, Idodiitiim environment, high frequency, enforcement. For that you need a real collaboration between the municipality and the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport and bus companies. Treasury is willing to provide resources. "
CEO Dan: "Let us lanes. We are open to any suggestions for any reform, changes or new program of public transport in Gush Dan, we want to make a change. But to really improve the service, give us bus lanes. "
