CityPass, operator of the Jerusalem light rail, announced that persons heading to Mount Herzl next week on Memorial Day will be able to ride for free. Persons heading to the official memorial will be able to get a free ride pass at the Central Bus Station from 8:00AM to 1:00PM on Memorial Day.

The light rail operator adds it will change its schedule on Memorial Day to accommodate the many expected riders heading to Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery. In addition, the light rail will operate the entire night on Independence Day.

However, in line with police instructions, the Jaffa Street/Center stop will be skipped during a period of time while festivities are taking place in the center of town.
