Map of the planned network as of 2020. The Red Line is in service; the Green and Purple lines are under construction; the rest is subject to change.
The Tel Aviv Light Rail (Hebrew: הרכבת הקלה בתל אביב, Romanized: Ha'rakēvet Ha'kalā Be'Tel Avīv), Arabic: قطار تل أبيب الخفيف, Romanized: Qītar Tall ʾAbīb Al-khāfifa also known as Dankal (Hebrew: דנקל, Arabic: دانكال) is a mass transit system for Gush Dan, the Tel Aviv metropolitan area in central Israel. The system will include different modes of mass transit, including rapid transit (metro), light rail transit (LRT), and bus rapid transit (BRT). Overseen by NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd., a government agency, the project will complement the intercity and suburban rail network operated by Israel Railways.
As of 2023, two LRT lines are under construction and one available to the public. Work on the Red Line, the first in the project, started on September 21, 2011, following years of preparatory works,[2] and was opened on August 18, 2023 after numerous delays.[3][4] Construction of the Purple Line started in December 2018; work on the Green Line began in January 2019.[5]
The network was originally planned to be called "MetroTLV" but was changed to "Dankal".[6]
