The Blue Line of the Jerusalem light rail is part of the city’s urban transport system. The plan defines the Blue Line’s light rail track, including the locations of aboveground and underground stations and the engineering facilities required to operate the light rail system. The line will connect the neighborhood of Ramot, in the north, to the city center, and from there the line continues on two different routes that connect the center to the southern neighborhoods of Malha and Gilo. The Blue Line has a few interfaces with other light rail lines (Red and Green), with a complementary bus system and with private vehicles via Park and Ride lots. All these will enable the Blue Line to improve the public transport service in Jerusalem
