Jerusalem's 2026 transport budget approved a 3-km, five-station eastward extension of the Light Rail Blue Line from Talpiot to Armon Hanatziv. The full Blue Line plan spans roughly 31 km and 53 stations with projected daily ridership of about 200,000, and the same budget package also funded the long-planned Western Wall cable-car project.
