Why hasn't tel-aviv made a metro yet? It's not the USA, there are many people from europe who have had a good experience with metros in their home countries, it's not poor and it's not Houston sized sprawling either.

But it's happening. I don't expect it to help much with the Shabbat issue, but politics are hard to predict so we'll see.
