Technical capabilities of the Gush Dan metro
The publication also recalled the planned Gush Dan metro network. It is expected to be highly automated, without drivers, and, according to the plan, provide train services at intervals of one and a half minutes even during peak hours.
According to The Jerusalem Post, the system will technically be capable of operating on weekends and during holidays, including Yom Kippur. An NTA representative stressed, however, that weekend operations are only a technical possibility, while the final decision will be made by the political leadership.
