  • Executive Summary on CAF Submission to the OHCHR
    Executive summary on CAF submission to the OHCHR The Jerusalem Light Rail and CAF In 2019, the Jerusalem Transportation Masterplan Team (the Israeli public entity entitled to manage the public transport in Jerusalem, in conjunction with the Israeli Jerusalem municipality and the Israeli Ministry of Transport), awarded a €1.8bn contract for the expansion of Israel’s Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR) system to the TransJerusalem J-Net Ltd, a consortium established by the Israeli construction company Shapir, Superbus and CAF. Shapir is one of the 112 companies listed in a UN database of businesses involved in Israel’s illegal settlements. The project in question includes the extension of the existing ‘Red Line’ and the construction of a new ‘Green Line’ of the JLR, as well as the supply of vehicles and technical services for the maintenance of the transportation network. The existing ‘Red Line’ and the planned extensions aim to connect illegal Israeli settlements in occupied East Jerusalem with each other, as well as with the western part of Jerusalem and Israel. The existing ‘Red Line’ serves the illegal Israeli settlements of Giv’at Shapira, Givat HaMivtar and Pisgat Ze'ev in occupied East Jerusalem. The project in which CAF is currently involved will extend the ‘Red Line’ to the settlement of Neve Yakov in East Jerusalem. The new ‘Green Line’ to be constructed will connect the Hebrew University’s Mount Scopus campus in East Jerusalem to the Gilo settlement to the South of Jerusalem, intersecting with the ‘Red Line’ at the settlement of Giv’at Shapira. The new line will also benefit other illegal settlements in its vicinity, including the new Givat Hamatos settlement that has been approved for construction.

  • Transportation, Communications, and Tourism
    CHAPTER XV TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, AND TOURISM 1. Main Developments This sector's rate of product growth slowed considerably in 1974: 4­5 percent as against 9­10 percent in the ifrst three quarters of 1 973 and an annual average of over 13 percent for the period 1969­72.' The major developments affecting the sector in 1 974 were the economic slowdown in Israel and throughout the world; the drastic rise in fuel prices following the energy crisis; the change in the defense establishment's levelof demand for various transportation services following the war; and the decline in tourism. It is dififcult to measure the effects of these developments accurately in quantitative terms, particularly for those transportation subsectors in which the negative consequences were minimized to some extent by various compensating factors. The most important of these factors was services rendered to the defense establishment, both as a result of the reserve call­up and in line with normal requirements. In addition, both the war and its aftermath and the security conditions prevailing in the region created a situation in which Israeli air and sea transport enjoyed a high degree of monopoly and preference. In the ifeld of passenger conveyance­ principally buses and taxis­ trafifc on regular routes dipped considerably. The mobilization of the reserves at the beginning of the year, the decrease in real income, and the slackening of private consumption, all led to a smaller volume of travel both by private car and by public transport. Complementing this dip in demand was a decline in the supply of transportation services in the ifrst quarter of the year when they were operated at only part strength.

  • Jerusalem Institute of Justice: Emergency Response Plan
    Jerusalem Institute of Justice – Travel resources TRANSPORTATION Air Travel The least expensive airfares to Israel are often priced for round-trip travel and must be purchased well in advance. Airlines generally allow you to change your return date for a fee; most low-fare tickets, however, are nonrefundable. Flights to Israel tend to be least expensive from November through March, except for the holiday season at the end of December. Prices are higher during the Jewish High Holiday period (usually in September or October) and Passover (usually in April). Flying time from New York to Israel is approximately 11 hours; from Los Angeles or San Francisco, it's about 14 hours nonstop, or 18 to 19 hours with the usual stopover in Europe or New York. International passengers are asked to arrive at the airport three hours prior to their flight time in order to allow for security checks. From North America, the New York City area international airports have the highest number of nonstop flights, with El Al Airlines, United, and Delta providing nonstop service. Direct flights are also available on El Al from Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto, and on United from San Francisco. Major European carriers— including Aeroflot, Air France, Alitalia, Austrian Airways, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Czech Airlines, Iberia, KLM, Lot, Lufthansa, Swissair, Turkish Airways, and Virgin Atlantic—have daily flights from the United States and on to Israel with stopovers in their domestic hub airports. Because Israel is only slightly larger than New Jersey, it's more efficient to drive within the country than fly.

  • Subjective Time Savings in Interurban Travel: an Empirical Study
    SUBJECTIVE TIME SAVINGS IN INTERURBAN TRAVEL: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY Shalom Reichman, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Travel time savings are usually estimated on the basis of objective mea­ sures of time. Such objective measures are assumed to correspond to the mean of a distribution of subjective time savings as reported by travelers. In a multimodal, single-route, interurban passenger survey carried out in Israel, that was not found to be the case. Each passenger was requested to report separately time differences by mode and time savings. When the replies were compared, it appeared that 21 percent of air passengers stated that their time savings amounted to quantities nearly twice as much as the mean of the difference in reported travel times. When asked how much time they would have saved traveling by air, 16 percent of all bus passengers indicated the same discrepancy between differences in time spent and time saved. A group of large time savers, as compared with normal time savers, was identified with a distinctive profile of trip attri­ butes but not of socioeconomic attributes. Large time savers are those passengers who reported twice as much time savings as the differences in time spent by mode. Possible reasons for the bimodal distribution of time savings have been sought in the perception of the choice situation generally facing the traveler, or, alternatively, in the special conditions of trips across a desert. It is recommended to clarify the generality of the results by means of additional surveys of similar design. •THE COMMON observable fact that time has opportunity costs is probably best seen in the purchase of fast but costlier transportation services.
