I don't believe a color has been selected for the proposed Har Hatzofim-Bar Ilan-Malha line. Meir: I can assure you that the planning is underway to extend the current line in both directions, to possibly add spurs to Har Hatzofim and Givat Ram, and build a second depot, the aforementioned BRT line is designed to be converted to light rail in the future, and the Bar Ilan Line would be built as BRT to later be converted to light rail. I doubt any politician will want to back another line right now when the first one isn't even fully operational, but the urban planner in me thinks they need to build the entire system to really make this work.
