A new train schedule implemented by Israel Railways has triggered widespread passenger dissatisfaction, with commuters reporting inconvenient intervals and difficult transfers. The revised timetable, which took effect on Saturday evening, November 14, has been met with numerous complaints on social media.
Key issues include a significantly earlier departure time for the first morning train from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, now set at 5:23 AM. Passengers argue that reaching the station by this time via public transport is nearly impossible, and the subsequent train is not available for another hour. Social media users have described the morning service as a "ghost train" and the new schedule a "catastrophe."

Passengers are also complaining about slow train speeds and inconvenient connections at major stations.
