After months of planning and development, a light rail line in central Israeli city of Petah Tikva launched its first public test drive on Thursday morning.
The particular light rail line had its first full test drive outside the city’s maintenance center ten day ago. On Thursday, however, the officials staged a public test run for the benefit of the media and the general public, who couldn’t board the train but could observe.
