Furthermore, regular services will be modified. Train No. 53 to Beersheba Center will originate directly from Tel Aviv University at 23:04 instead of Tel Aviv Savidor Center. The route of Train No. 687, departing at 00:32, will be extended all the way to Beersheba Center.
Travel Recommendations
Transport authorities urge attendees to follow station safety guidelines and recommend purchasing a combined daily round-trip ticket. This option offers a significant discount and reduces queue times at ticket counters during peak hours after the event concludes.
