Transport in Jerusalem is characterized by a well-developed inter-city network and an emerging, developing intra-city network. Ben Gurion International Airport serves as Jerusalem's closest international airport. Egged bus lines and Israel Railways connect the city of Jerusalem to much of the rest of the country, and a high-speed rail line to the airport and Tel Aviv is currently under construction. Within the city, the roads, rather than the rails, are the primary mode of transportation.

Among these dark Satanic Mills?”
