Ma’ale Adumim to Mishor Adumim Public Transportation

Hi Everyone!

Last night I was at a community meeting with the mayor and city
staff. I met Gershon Lokay who is the Strategic Planning Wing
director for the Ma’ale Adumim Municipality.
He sent me the revised schedule of bus #23.
Below is his message to me which he said I can publicize.

Until 2009 there used to be one bus line, serving the
Jerusalem-Maale Adumim-Mishor Adumim-Kfar Adumim-Mitzpe Yericho route.
The changes started when Kfar Adumim and Mitzpe Yericho
demanded a direct line to Jerusalem, skipping Maale Adumim.
They got it (125) and the 173 shortened its route and stopped at
Givat Hameyasdim.

Since then most of its passangers got off in Maale Adumim and
the need for it to continue to Jerusalem became redundant.
In full agreement with EGGED,we decided to create a new inner
direct line – the 23 line.

Line 23 is designed to serve Mishor Adumim (both the commercial
facilities and the industrial ones) and Givat Hameyasdim into
Maale Adumim. Lately it was given also the task of connecting
Kedar to Maale Adumim. The 173 line is now a one-way line,
coming in the morning hours from Jerusalem, going through all
M.A. neighbourhoods on to Mishor Adummim.

The route of 23 (coming from Kedar) is direct :
Derech Har Habayit (police and michlala stops) – Derech Kedem,
iriya, mall, Avney Hachosen, Nofey Hasela, Ort highschool,
to the Mishor and Givat Hameyasdim.

Timetables :
173 route: Jerusalem-M.A. – Megadim, Tzemach Hasade, Nechalim,
Klei Shir, Mitzpe Nevo, Nofei Sela -Shufersal Deal-Rami levi
-rest of the industrial zone- Givat Hameyasdim :
173 Departure from Jerusalem: 6:00, 6:30, 7:00 (arriving at M.A. 15-20 minutes later).

23 route: Kedar-M.A. (Derech Har Habayit, Derech Kedem)
– Shufersal Deal-Rami levi-rest of the industrial zone
– Givat Hameyasdim
23 Departure time from Kedar, arriving M.A. 5 minutes later:
7:10, 10:10, 13:15, 14:45, 16:15, 17:45, 19:15, 20:45, 22:15.

23 Departure from Givat Hameyasdim, arriving at Rami levi 2-3 minutes later:
7:15, 7:45, 8:30, 9:55, 10:45,12:30, 14:00, 15:30, 17:00, 18:30, 20:00, 21:30.

Note: If you come from Mitzpe Nevo on 174 and change to 23 at the
mall (you have to cross to the other side, of course) you use the
same ticket and not pay twice.

Jacob’s note: If you are a fast shopper you may even be able to
get back on the same bus ticket (within 90 minutes).

Have a good day,
Jacob
