Public transportation users in the Neve Ofer neighborhood, the Lachman Terminal, and Wolfson Hospital, located on the border of Tel Aviv and Holon, will experience detours and canceled bus stops. These temporary changes, which began Sunday, November 8, and will continue through Wednesday, November 11, are due to overnight roadwork on Lachman Street between Tel Giborim and the Wolfson Terminal. The work will take place nightly from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM.
The temporary arrangements will affect seven major "Dan" bus lines: 6m, 7, 17, 19, 41, 44, and 141. For line 7 heading towards Wolfson, the route will divert via Grossman, Greenbaum, Nes LaGoyim, and Heine streets, canceling stops at Shaked/Greenbaum, Shazar/Shaked, Shazar/Tel Giborim, and Neve Ofer/Shazar. Exiting Wolfson, it will travel via Lachman, Heine, Nes LaGoyim, Greenbaum, and Grossman, canceling stops at Wolfson Hospital and along Shazar and Shaked streets, while adding a stop at Wolfson Hospital.
Line 17 towards Wolfson will be rerouted from Tel Giborim via Grossman, Greenbaum, Nes LaGoyim, and Heine, canceling stops at Tel Giborim/Meir Grossman and Lachman/Tel Giborim. Departing the terminal, stops at Wolfson Hospital and Lachman/Tel Giborim will be canceled, with a new stop added at Wolfson Hospital.
Line 19 heading to Rishon Lezion will detour via Grossman, Greenbaum, Nes LaGoyim, and Heine, entering the Wolfson Terminal before continuing its regular route. Stops at Tel Giborim/Meir Grossman and Lachman/Tel Giborim will be canceled. In the direction from Rishon Lezion, stops at Wolfson Hospital, Lachman/Tel Giborim, and Tel Giborim/Shazar will be canceled.
Lines 41, 44, and 141 in both directions will be diverted around the Lachman Terminal via Grossman, Greenbaum, Nes LaGoyim, Heine, and Wolfson Terminal. The Lachman/Tel Giborim stop will be canceled upon exiting the Lachman Terminal. Towards the Lachman Terminal, stops at Wolfson Hospital and Lachman/Tel Giborim will be canceled.
Line 6m towards the Lachman Terminal will pass through Wolfson Terminal and the bypass route (Heine, Nes LaGoyim, Greenbaum, and Grossman), canceling stops at Wolfson Hospital and Lachman/Tel Giborim.
These changes coincide with a labor dispute declared by the Transportation Workers Union in the Histadrut labor federation at the "Dan" transportation company. The dispute stems from unilateral actions by the company's management, notably their intention to hire hundreds of drivers previously employed through contractors, but under less favorable terms and salaries than existing drivers, which the union argues violates collective agreements.
