What happened

  1. 01Netanyahu promised a 100 billion shekel rail line from Eilat to Kiryat Shmona, but no planning or funds were effectively used.
  2. 02Transportation Minister Regev pledged a transport cabinet and halving road fatalities by 2030, but the cabinet was never formed and 2025 saw record deaths.
  3. 03Despite Regev's denial, the congestion tax in Tel Aviv is advancing and expected to start in about two years.
  4. 04Several other transport initiatives like a Wizz Air base, Uber entry, and autonomous vehicles remain unimplemented.
  5. 05The government's transportation promises largely remain unfulfilled, highlighting a gap between commitments and actual progress.

Yet, funding shortfalls, unformed committees, and rising road fatalities have stalled progress, while the congestion tax in Tel Aviv is moving forward despite earlier denials.
