Dan Transportation has reached an agreement to acquire Tnuufa for approximately 150 million shekels, though the deal is not yet final. Partners of Tnuufa's controlling shareholder are currently opposing the acquisition, which could lead to its collapse. This follows a failed attempt in July by Metropolitan, owned by the Generes Foundation, to purchase Tnuufa. Tnuufa operates bus routes in the Jerusalem and Shomron regions and possesses a fleet of about 350 intercity buses. The company generates approximately 400 million shekels in annual revenue from service kilometers and fares. Tnuufa is jointly owned by Maya Tor (30%), Eastlink Linker (30%), China Motors (22.5%), and Shasha Transport (17.5%). Dan recently acquired Shasha Transport from Aryeh Shasha for 180 million shekels. Dan itself is now controlled by a group led by CEO Ofir Karni, including Clal, Leumi Partners, and Mizrahi Tefahot, which purchased control from Leo Base. If the Tnuufa acquisition proceeds, Dan's bus fleet would expand to around 3,500 vehicles.
