Transdev Middle East

Transdev Middle East / Transdev Israel

Transdev inherited from Veolia Transport the Jerusalem Light Rail project that Veolia Environment had been trying to dispose of since at least 2009.

In December 2011, the agreed sale of the Jerusalem Light Rail to Egged was reported to have been held up by the Israeli state. However, Egged will need Veolia's expertise for at least five years to run the light rail successfully. The sale was finally approved in August 2015.

Transdev also operated buses in Israel as Veolia Transport Israel (more commonly Connex Israel):

• Modi'in: Intercity and urban buses in a city located between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Formerly run by Margalit
• Ashdod: Intercity buses to Tel Aviv and Gush Dan, and to Ashkelon. Formerly run by Egged
• Tiberias: Urban and regional buses. Formerly run by Egged
• Yavne: Urban buses. Formerly run by Egged
• Lod: Urban buses and intercity buses to Tel Aviv. Formerly run by Egged
• Bnei Brak: Intercity buses to Jerusalem. Formerly run by Dan Bus Company

The buses in Modi'in were sold to Kavim in July 2013, while the rest were sold to Afikim in September 2013.
