Jerusalem's new light rail section finally opened Friday after years of construction and delys, adding 7 kilometers and 12 stations to the city's network. But low frequency and closures raise questions about whether the long-awaited upgrade is enough

The new line is approximately 7 kilometers, or 4.3 miles, long and includes 13 stations, 12 of them new. During peak hours, trains are expected to run every eight minutes.

Route connects Malha neighborhood in southern part of capital to city center, spanning 7 kilometers and 13 stations, with plans to reach Mount Scopus by end of year
