The Lightrail straddles Jerusalem, the Israeli and the Palestinian sections of the city and goes close (but not into) the old city. So interesting how parts of the line you find Hasidic Jews, and other parts only Arab Muslims while other parts have a mixture!
Construction on the Red line began in 2002 and ended in 2010, when the testing phase began. It was built by the CityPass consortium, which has a 30-year concession to operate it. The project required construction of the Jerusalem Chords Bridge as well as other renovation projects around Jerusalem.
After repeated delays due to archaeological discoveries and technical issues, service began, initially free of charge, on August 19, 2011. It became fully operational on December 1, 2011. The line is 13.9 kilometers (8.6 mi) long with 23 stops.
With a total estimated cost for the Red Line's initial section of ₪3.8 billion (approx. US $1.1 billion),the project was criticized for budget overruns, for its route serving Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and for contributing to air and noise pollution during construction.
