In anticipation of a large volume of holiday eve travelers, additional trains will be added this afternoon, the eve of the Shabbat/Passover weekend, as well as on Sunday night, following the termination of the first day of Passover. The Egged and Dan Bus Cooperatives have announced that extra buses will also be added to heavily traveled routes to accommodate holiday commuters.

Flights took off and arrived at a rate of one every seven minutes. Another 50 flights are expected in and out of the southern resort city today, carrying about 5,000 persons.
