The purple line of the light rail is part of the mass transportation system in the Dan metropolis. In May 2022, Shapir signed a financing, planning, construction and maintenance agreement for the purple line of the light rail in Gush Dan.
In the last year, Shapir started the construction of the purple line of the light rail in Gush Dan.
The route of the upper purple line runs along its entire length and passes between the cities of Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Givat Shmuel, Kiryat Ono, Or Yehuda and Yehud.
The length of the line, which will carry about 60 million passengers a year, is about 27 km and has 43 stations. In addition, Shapir is establishing an operation and maintenance center
with a size of about 24,000 square meters.
At this stage, the excavation and infrastructure works for the tracks began, along with the start of work on the depot complex, which is spread over approximately 140 dunams.
In the Purple Line project, Shapir uses the most advanced technologies that exist today in the world of transportation and light rail, and employs experts in various fields from Israel and abroad to ensure that the design meets all environmental requirements on issues such as vibration protection, noise and radiation reduction, and of course compliance with all the strictest safety standards.
The financing provided by the banks for the project is done within the framework of ‘green financing’, in which the bank finances projects of an environmental nature, with the aim of taking vehicles off the road and encouraging public transportation.
