This is a picture of the downtown area of Jerusalem.  Kinda empty.  Where did the people go? There are people about, but are they really revitalizing the downtown?  Do people really go there to do shopping, or do they go to the Malcha Mall? Where do people who like to spend money go?  I really didn't see what was the problem with letting busses and cars go on Yaffa street.  The business were hopping, and you could get a seat on almost any bus to take you to the Central bus station.  Now, the train is usually so crowded that you have to push to get on, and most likely you won't get a seat.  This is difficult if you have done your shopping at Machne Yehuda market.  You have your cart, and there is no place to put it.
