Recent Israel Bus Photos

Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Jul 26 00:07:39 2018

It's been awhile since I've shared any Israeli transit photos, so here are some bus shots I took recently. All the buses in this post are Egged buses in Jerusalem.









The large building up on the top of the hill in the upper left of this photo is the world's largest synagogue, its sanctuary has seats for about 10,000 people




5 door artic
















Solaris Urbino 18, currently on trial:


Golden Dragon C Intercity bus:




Yutong ZK6121HQ:

Is Solaris a new bus manufacturer? Beautiful photos, I've been meaning to take a flight to Israel to venture around.

I like the 4-door Artics!!

Also the British-style blue and white "one way" and "keep right" road signs...

Newish to Israel (they only entered the Israeli market in the past few years), the company was founded in 1999.

By British do you mean European? Israel was under a British Mandate following the Ottoman Era, so many rules of the road mirror British laws, but I'd describe the signage as European rather than belonging to any one country.

The 4 door artics are nice, but did you see the 5 (count 'em) door artics in the mix too?

Yes, I understand why there'd be remnants of British law in Israel (although they drive on the right).

So those blue and white signs are used throughout Europe? I did not know that. And I'll go back and look for the 5-door artics...

Thanks!!
