Monitoring the performance of these plan over time shows that they have encountered many problems in implementation and time tables. Only a fraction of the plans ever make it to execution, and most of those significantly overshoot the planned time tables for their completion, leading in the medium term to underinvestment in transport infrastructure.
For instance, the gap between the 2012 expectation of budgetary expenditure on transport infrastructure in 2015 and the expectation at the beginning of 2015 was NIS 10 billion. In other words, actual expenditure was 45 percent lower than planned, even though the government did not cancel significant transport development plans.
