The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is advising against the use of public transport in Jerusalem due to recent incidents that left a number of people dead.
On October 22 and November 5, cars were driven into pedestrians at public tram stops in East Jerusalem.
On August 4, an industrial digger was driven into a bus in East Jerusalem.
Additionally, there have been frequent reports of stoning of public transport, including buses and the tram.
There is an ongoing risk of security incidents on public transport in East Jerusalem, particularly the Light Rail. The FCO says that these incidents are unpredictable and advise against the use of public transport throughout Jerusalem.
Travellers should consider alternative options.
