One of the lessons of the kidnapping attack has already been implemented: improving public transportation and strengthening existing lines to communities in Judea and Samaria - with a new line, numbered 409, soon to begin operating.
The line will operate from the train station at the Big Junction, at the entrance to the city of Beit Shemesh, towards Gush Etzion and Efrat - and in the opposite direction.
The new line will operate Sunday-Thursday, in accordance with the train times to Tel Aviv - both there and back.
Schedule for the new line:
From Gush Etzion and Efrat: 06:00, 07:00
From Beit Shemesh: 6:00 PM, 8:00 PM
The route of the line towards Beit Shemesh passes through Neve Daniel, Elazar, Efrat-Kikar Eitan, Gush Junction, Alon Shvut, Emek Ela and from there to the train station in Beit Shemesh.
The route from Beit Shemesh to Gush Etzion is the same, just in the opposite direction. .
