Complete bullshit, its October now, and I called up the Dan bus company to ask if it started, and aside from being spoken to rudely on a few occasions, I was hung up on numerous times just by asking about this "Electric bus in Tel Aviv". Half the customer service representatives had no idea what I was talking about, the other half hung up on me. Dan as a bus company, is a complete joke and their employees are assholes.
