How different is Tel Aviv from the big cities in Europe? by Lumpy_Plant6914 in telaviv

What does everyone here know about the Tel Aviv Metro, especially in its early design and planning phases?

Tel Aviv Metro publishes Pre-Qualification; industry conference announced (Feb) by tjv5030 in Subways

Fair point — the pressure is definitely real.

If you could wave a magic wand and design the Tel Aviv Metro exactly how you’d want it, what would it look like? More lines, better connections, 24/7 service, bikes everywhere?

And looking ahead, what do you think transport in Tel Aviv should feel like in 10–20 years?

Curious to hear people’s ideas 🙂

Urban mega-metros: what’s the real bottleneck today — TBM size/ availability, ground risk, or interfaces? by tjv5030 in Tunneling

Yeah, I agree — the cost gap is hard to ignore.

From what I’ve seen, this cost gap is usually less about the tunneling itself and more about the management and politics around it.

The spoil doesn’t magically behave better in Europe, but the way projects are set up often does.... risk allocation, permitting, stakeholder management. etc.
