With the opening of the Harel tunnels, there are changes to bus routes in the area starting January 20.Most intercity routes from and to Jerusalem now stop at the Hemed interchange instead of the Harel interchange. Some routes heading to Jerusalem no longer stop there at all; of particular interest to readers of In Jerusalem, these include the 417, 418 and 419 from Beit Shemesh and the 481 from Tel Aviv to Ma’aleh Adumim.New bus routes within Mevaseret Zion, running frequently to and from the Hemed interchange, are the 54, linking the older parts of Mevaseret, the Hemed interchange and the Yud-Alef neighborhood; the 56 from the local council via the Dalet neighborhood and Reches Halilim to the Hemed interchange, and the 58 from Maoz Zion to the Hemed interchange.Route 59 has been changed and now runs from the Hemed interchange to the Harel interchange, the “Seven Sisters,” Beit Zayit and back to Hemed, approximately hourly.A new route, 199, runs from Jerusalem to Kiryat Ye’arim (Telz Stone), infrequently in the afternoons and evenings, Sundays to Thursdays, with a stop at the Harel Mall.Another new route, the 484, will run from Mevaseret Zion to the Arlosoroff terminal in Tel Aviv, Sunday to Thursday mornings, returning from Tel Aviv in the evenings. – Sybil Ehrlich
