It’s quite amazing there wasn’t a proper rail line connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem until very recently. Certainly the very mountainous terrain around Jerusalem makes it difficult but the Swiss have managed.

- fmajid 5y agoYes, but they have buses instead, which are just as vulnerable. The bus connections from downtown Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to Ben Gurion airport were absolutely abysmal.
