- New fast lanes and park and ride facility open Sunday.
- Facility offers 3,500 parking spots and shuttle service.
- Shuttles will run every five minutes during peak hours.
- Commuters will be taken to Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan.
- Questions remain about private car access and tolls.
On Sunday, 15 kilometers of new fast lanes will open on the Ayalon Highway, stretching from Rishon Lezion to the Savidor train station in Tel Aviv. Concurrently, a new "park and ride" facility in Rishon Lezion will become operational, offering 3,500 parking spaces. From this facility, shuttle buses will depart every five minutes during peak hours, transporting commuters to employment centers in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan.
The article raises questions about when private vehicles will be permitted to use these fast lanes and what the associated toll will be, suggesting that these new developments may not ultimately solve the region's traffic congestion issues.
