What I was really wonderind was if they would have a dedicated ROW, or share the road with autos. From the photos you showed it looks like they have their own separate ROW, at least in part.
Does this line and others have traffic light pre emption ?
Also note this from a posting some four years ago:
The existing line has traffic-light ore-emption in spots, but definitely not everywhere it should.
And even the traffic systems for buses at the intercfhange stations need lots of improvemen.
Still, on balance, it is a good system, and I enjoy every use I make of it. Which ranges from no use on one day to four or five times on another.
My general moral on living in Jerusalem jumped 100% on its year 2012 opening. Only the Unification of 1967 (I began visiting in 1960, moved in 1996.) made more of a difference.
With new management, this old symbol for Citipass:

One Dave Klepper, age 17+, wearing his ROTC uniform, Oct. or Nov. 1949 in front of MIT on Massachusetts Avenue, with a Type-4 enrout from Memorial Drive to Watertown, via Central Square, between. The Vassar Street on the roll-sign is there because the operator could not find a Mrmorial Drive sign and picked the sign for the closest point he could find, and then did not change it for the return trip to Watertown:

71 years separate the photographs, but 100 years the rail-cars, 1912-1913 and 2012-2013. NP-Eddie, note the head covering!
What does a concrete piano use for a sounding board?
It's really an electronic piano, with much the same technology as a synthesizer keyboard. A think the best answer to your question is "a good wide-range lousdspeaker."
I'm posting this photo again, because the chartered bus sogn on the negative was badly deteriorated, and in the coirrecton on the first posting, I misread the sign on another posted image, and need to post the correction. I will also replace the original posted image:
I owe Bradley Clarke's book Boston's MTA, Boston Street Railway Association, publishers for the correction.
Lines currently under costruction bor in detailed engineering all pass through or touch the main central business sdistrict. Now an exception has been authorized, the Puplee Line.
This map is not-to-scale, and some relative distances are very distorted:
Today, the first of August, was a big day for me and other senior citizens who use public transportation, effective today, free thoughout Israel for citizens over 65, and I'm 90. The same plastic card is used, and converted electronically for me at the Central Bus Station.

Was that the cap I sent you several years ago? It looks nice on you.

Free fares over 65 but not visitors?
Unsure about visitors but think not, since the various monthly passes are available only for citizens and registered forreign students. Corection: 75-and-over. 65 - 74 continue with half-fare. Half-fare also applies to registered students, including foreign students (who must also sign-up for sick-fund insurance and then receive treatment when required.) That being the case, I believe a visitor 75-and-over, who is a student at a University or Yeshiva, could get the free-transportation card. 65-74 half-fare, including an appropriate monthly pass.
News from yesterday,
