Israel Railways Adds Special Trains for Sarit Hadad Concerts in Tel Aviv
Israel Railways is adding special train services, extending regular routes, and reinforcing staff for Sarit Hadad's concerts at Yarkon Park on September 16-17, 2026, to manage traffic and ensure safety.
Extra Train Services for Sarit Hadad Concerts
On Wednesday and Thursday, September 16–17, 2026, the renowned singer Sarit Hadad will perform at Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv, located near the Tel Aviv University (Expo) railway station.
In anticipation of high demand, and to ensure the safety of concertgoers and reduce expected traffic congestion in the area, Israel Railways will operate additional train services and extend the routes of regular trains on these dates.
Enhanced Station Operations and Safety
Furthermore, Israel Railways will position standby trains to operate as needed based on demand, and will reinforce the Tel Aviv University station and other key stations with railway personnel, including security guards, service representatives, and managers, to ensure passenger safety and provide fast, high-quality service.
Israel Railways recommends that concertgoers arrive at the stations ahead of time and emphasizes the importance of following the safety instructions of railway staff at the stations and platforms. Passengers are also advised to consider purchasing a combined daily round-trip ticket, which offers a significant discount on the fare alongside substantial savings on station waiting times.
